Teaching method:
The teaching methods are highly interactive and include case studies, discussions, simulations, presentations, and small-group learning activities and breakout sessions. The case method engages faculty and participants in an interactive process of analysis and in-depth discussion that facilitates problem solving and decision-making skills. It ensures that real life situations are discussed and real problems solved. Participants are encouraged to look both internally and externally at the way they operate and the complex and volatile market in which they compete. These two perspectives provide a focus for both professors and participants to establish a learning environment that will create value in every sense. All participants are encouraged to complete their "learning logs" daily, thus when they return to their companies they are equipped with a meaningful and tangible "take-home agenda."

Workload during distance learning modules:
The distance learning modules will consist of preparation for the next residential module, individual and collaborative team work. You can expect that this will take up on average four hours a week.

Informal attire is appropriate for the classroom. For the closing dinner, we suggest that men bring a jacket and tie and women bring similarly formal attire. The temperatures in Miami during Module I (October), Module II (December) & Module IV (March/April), will likely range between 20º and 25º degrees Celsius with sub-tropical levels of humidity.  Module III in Madrid (February), temperatures will be much cooler ranging between 8º and 18º degrees Celsius.

Applications for admission are accepted throughout the year and should be received at least two months prior to the program's start date. Due to limited class size, early application is encouraged. Late applications will be considered if space is still available in the program.

All complete applications for admission will be thoroughly reviewed by the program's Admissions Committee, which will be the sole judge of a candidate's qualifications to enter the program. Due to class size restraints and the need to have a balanced mixture of backgrounds, sometimes not all fully qualified applicants can be admitted to the program.
