Saturday MBA Curriculum

“I think MBAs would benefit greatly from general background in data science – understanding that data is the new currency in business and that the ability to exploit the data available to you as an organization (e.g. from enterprise systems, IoT devices, customers, competitors) is a key competitive advantage.” 

Michael Wang (CIO & VP of Digital Innovation, Epson)
