“We’re living at a time of intense global change and upheaval, which presents great opportunity and also requires innovation and entrepreneurship for the well being of our global society,” said Craig Cogut, Brown University alumnus (’75) and Founder and Managing Partner of Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P.  “The advantage of studying liberal arts is the ability to speak and understand different languages, and I don’t just I just don’t mean English, Spanish, or Mandarin.  Music, art, and literature are also  languages that help you know the world. They teach you to listen, to hear, to see, to be flexible and creative, and most importantly, to learn from one another.”  The Cogut Center for the Humanities at Brown University, named in recognition of the generous support from Craig and Deborah Cogut, supports collaborative research in the humanities, focusing on interdisciplinary and comparative work across cultural and linguistic boundaries, and supports fellowship and grant programs, Brown’s distinguished visitors program, and regular campus events.

The IE Brown Executive MBA is to be launched in March 2011. One core element of this program is Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship which pulls together all management areas with the aim to create value for the firm as well as for society introducing Brown’s expertise into the value creation process.

The objective of the teach the innovation processes and develop the entrepreneurial skills associated with the continuous creation of value in a business environment and social context. The ability of a company to create new value for customers and end users is essential to sustained growth. This module is therefore about participants understanding corporate innovation processes and learning the leadership skills associated with entrepreneurial management and new business development. The pedagogical approach is that of ‘experiential learning’ in which the faculty provide a framework for understanding, but the participants develop and sharpen their skills by undertaking projects based upon relevant  xperiences drawn from their own environment. The projects blend team and individual activities, culminating in a business case. The project also incorporates the nuanced learnings from the liberal arts and critical studies curriculum in framing the business case in a relevant cultural, historical and geopolitical context.

In the following video, this approach will be visualized by Angus Kingon from Brown and Joseph Pistrui and Pablo Martin from IE.

The IE Brown Executive MBA breakes with the traditional Executive MBA model purely focussed on management. Starting in March 2011, this program integrates leading management thinking with wider perspectives from the humanities, social sciences, engineering, and life sciences.

Follow this video in which Angus Kingon from Brown and David Bach from IE provide insights into the program structure and its innovative learning approach.

One of the most innovative Executive MBA will start in March 2011 and is a joint initiative from Brown University, the leading Ivy League school, and IE Business School, one of the leading business schools in the world.

The IE Brown Executive MBA will introduce participants not only into the most updated management knowledge but instill the critical liberal arts thinking which helps managers to think out of the box!

In the following video Brown’s Provost and IE’s Dean explain why the connection between liberal arts and business becomes critical in the future, and therefore why this alliance makes sense.
