Full-Time MBA
Max Problem Solving
During the Max Problem Solving course, MBA students apply the skills learned in their MBA journey to identify solutions to the most challenging problems faced by society. The goal of the course is to examine significant social issues, to understand them, propose solutions and, if they are unlikely to be solved in the short run, explore how a business should manage through it while it is being resolved. Sample problems to be incorporated into the course could include the opioid crisis, trade wars or the digitalization of society.
