Strategy
Given the complex, fast-paced economic, and social environment in which today’s businesses operate, we strive to develop leaders with a vision who lead with strategies that continually engage, manage, and evolve the business, the industry, and the community as a whole. We believe that strategy can only be learned through real-life applications.
Fisher College of Business faculty, who are nationally known and respected strategists, offer a broad and rich elective curriculum to our MBAs who aspire to become top strategy leaders. In class and one-on-one, our faculty share their extensive knowledge of research, as well as their industry and consulting experience, with our very talented Fisher MBAs.
