Graduate Certificate in Global Business Management - Family Enterprise (International Only)
Program Overview
Mohawk College has launched a new 2-year graduate program to address the specific needs of a family enterprise with a global reach, looking to support the skill development of one of their delegates. The launch is planned for January 2017 and is open to a mix of 15 students from around the world, sponsored by a family enterprise.

Changing technology, demographics, and social values have disrupted traditional education.

Understanding the compromises of what is good for the family and good for the business along with family health, and the relationship between the generations is critical to the future of a family business. This focus will be imbedded into a Global Business Management program that will support those with and interest to connect with North American markets and the world.
Students in Mohawk’s two year, Global Business Management – Family Enterprise Program will learn the dynamics of management in a global business environment with an understanding of how to deal with the unique challenges of operating a family business. They learn how to research potential international opportunities, develop an international market entry strategy for a service or product, and create an international business plan to support the global strategy of a company. Students will be mentored by Canadian entrepreneurs and given the opportunity to candidly discuss issues unique to family business. It is important that the next generation are equipped to effectively deal with and understand inter-generational dynamics, sibling relationships, managing conflict, succession planning, and strategic management of family firms.
