The View from the Top
Strategic management is about running the entire organization. It’s the view from the top.

They typically bring a diversity of technical skills and middle-management experience into the course, but haven’t yet faced the challenges associated with directing an enterprise. My job is to shift their focus from what’s best for their departments to what’s best for the organization. Continue reading

Dr. Mirabella: “BE well-rounded and think for yourself.”
As the lead professor of Statistics in Bethel University’s MBA program, I have done my best to teach students that my course is not about crunching numbers or learning complex formulas, but rather it is about thinking. Statistics is at the core of what an MBA graduate should be able to do successfully. As with any subject, you will forget a lot of technical material, but our hope is that you remember the major concepts, that you can use your knowledge to think and make wise decisions, and that you appreciate the value of each subject in business and in life.
