Program Overview

Executive Doctor of Management (D.M.) students enter the program with an exceptional professional background and a commitment to self-improvement. They have an opportunity here at IAU to explore their leadership style and ideas for their organization or own business. The D.M. program will help students – executive leaders – to improve their knowledge in management and leadership by designing and implementing Organizational Structure, Development, Planning, Assessing, Implementing, and more. Most importantly, the students in this program will learn how to listen to understand rather than listen to respond, so they can identify issues. Students work on case studies and present their findings in the seminar-style courses. For each project, the students will develop and discuss the following steps: ENTRY, DIAGNOSIS, FEEDBACK, SOLUTION, and EVALUATION.
