More about the Issuer

Wharton Executive Education

For executives who have moved into general management or taken on greater leadership responsibility in their current roles, Wharton’s Business Essentials for Executives will develop the skills needed to make key business decisions with confidence and position their companies for long-term success. Core curriculum covers traditional management disciplines with an emphasis on analytical rigor, including marketing, operations, accounting, finance, strategy, negotiations, and leadership. This essential knowledge is particularly beneficial for executives with a non-business background and those who have extensive experience within one functional area. Personal assessments, daily integration sessions, and a webinar after the program is over ensure that learning applies directly to each participant’s current leadership and business challenges.
