About this Course

In today’s evolving business landscape, there’s a need for leaders with the core management skills and knowledge to analyze and make complex business decisions across all facets of an organization. The Accelerated Management Program, from the Yale School of Management Executive Education, provides you with core skills and tools for managing a business more effectively. Through a unique integrated curriculum from a world-renowned business school, you’ll learn to overcome challenges across organizational functions, by understanding the connected elements of modern business.

Over the course of eight weeks online, you’ll engage with a raw case study (from Yale SOM’s unique directory of case studies) as you explore fundamental business management topics, such as decision-making using quantitative models, developing a competitive strategy, and leveraging social networks. You’ll also learn about the time value of money, and develop the ability to interpret financial statements and value a project or company.

This online management program is beneficial for professionals at early, mid, and advanced career stages. It will benefit managers who want to improve their strategic and managerial abilities in current or future roles. Senior managers, executives, business owners, and entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to sharpen their analytical problem-solving skills with updated knowledge from first-class faculty. For non-management professionals, this non-credit-bearing online course offers the opportunity to develop key business and leadership skills, validated with a certificate of participation from Yale SOM Executive Education.
