Practice of Management

An MBA is about learning new skills and how to apply these skills to the business world.  To develop this mastery, Tulane MBAs take a series of classes dedicated to developing the integrative skills necessary in the global business environment.  This is about real business, working with real companies, talking to real executives, solving real problems facing contemporary business.  You will work with your Tulane team to understand the challenge and develop the solution.  The choices you make will enrich the MBA experience, and help you build a network of business contacts for your future.  In two years, you'll move from discussing strategies to developing plans that you know will work.

Practice of Management I - In the first module, MBA teams work to understand the language of business.  The course presents strategies from the perspective of a manager and focuses on the knowledge and skills to develop business strategies.  The first practice module sets the stage for the series to follow.

Practice of Management II - This module, Marketing Planning and Implementation, focuses on brand development.  Here you work with an operating organization to realize opportunities in the business market as you develop a plan with your team.  

Practice of Management III -Two choices are offered in POM3; one focused on continuing the development of strategies, Strategic Consulting; the other focuses on the fundamentals of equity valuation, Equity Analysis.  

Practice of Management IV - This module focuses on integrating the functional area skills to become an entrepreneur.  Working in teams, you'll learn how to plan, finance, launch, manage, and harvest a new venture.  The student plans are presented to a panel of experienced entrepreneurs.  The course is a great start for the Tulane Business Plan Competition.
