Abstract

Though they differ from corporate to corporate and are at the best of times connected to the strategy of the organization, some generic aims are often present. These aims fall into three dominant categories: 1. To improve the “economic performance” of the organization. These programs aim to improve a population’s ability to enhance sales, reduce operating costs, tighten working capital, lower external charges (including taxes), and/or reduce the capital intensity of operations. Though they can be “functionally biased” and “siloed”, in many ways these are business school “bread and butter” programs. They fit well within a business school’s capabilities and often call upon the knowledge pools that feed MBA and EMBA programs. In some cases, these programs allow business schools to draw from the emerging thinking of research clubs and PhD outputs.
