Public Sector: Business & Government
-
This Public Sector (PUBL) specialization offers students a business-focused introduction to public policy and to the multiple interactions between business and government in a global perspective.
The specialization prepares graduates for management and leadership positions in the public, private and social sectors. It will be particularly useful for MBA students who specialize in highly regulated industries (such as Financial Services, Health, Media, Mining, Real Estate) and in management functions (such as sustainability and international business) where aptitude to successfully work with governments is a key skill in high demand. This specialization is taken in conjunction with a relevant industry or functional specialization.
