Updated Periods 1-3 Schedule: MASTER – 2012 – FT Periods 1 – 6 – Schedule – Nov 15 2011
Full time students will have a two week window in which to register with priority, after which time registration will open for part-time students.
∙ Students should look at the specialization sheets to determine which modules to take, and consider which modules are pre-requisites for other modules when making decisions. You will find the specialization sheets here.
∙ Students can drop into the MBA and ECM Programs Office for module planning advice or email theresa.scott@sauder.ubc.ca to set up an appointment.
∙ If a module is full, please email askmba@sauder.ubc.ca to get on the waitlist. Students often change their minds as to which modules they will like to take, and as seats open up in the full modules we will fill them from the waitlist.
Two new special topics modules have been introduced in Period 3. Course outlines for both BAEN 580A-001 and BAMA 580C-001 are available for viewing by following the links below:
∙ Module Name: BAEN 580A Managing Corporate Innovation
This course builds upon patterns of technological and market change, and prior research on innovation and new ventures. It also builds upon the structure and development of organizational capabilities for managing innovation. To make this course relevant for the majority of companies, it mainly focuses on examples of innovation from traditional industries. It would also include guest speakers from successful local innovative companies.
∙ Module Name: BAMA 580C-001 Creative Business Thinking: A Nordic Approach
Creative Business Thinking: A Nordic approach takes advantage of the opportunity to engage students with two visiting instructors from the Copenhagen Business School: Balder Onarheim (industrial designer) Morten Friis-Olivarius (neuro-scientist). Balder and Morten will be bringing a business problem/opportunity from a Scandanavian company as the focus of the studio. This will provide students with an opportunity to compare and contrast Nordic and North American business culture and practices, as well as engaging in a Nordic approach to business thinking. Students will engage in team projects involving the company, practicing a variety of thinking skills and processes.
The FT MBA Module Schedule is attached. Please review the schedule carefully as some classroom assignments have changed since the previous version.
