Program Description

Family-owned and operated businesses dominate the commercial landscape of all free enterprise economies. In Australia, they account for 80% of business structures, transcending the small, medium and large categories with annual turnovers ranging from $100,000 to multi million dollar figures.

The Executive MBA Family Business specialisation integrates fundamental business principles with the unique aspects of the often-complex and challenging family business structure.

The only one of its kind in Australia, this program draws on more than a decade of research conducted by the Australian Centre for Family Business to examine why these businesses often surpass their publicly-owned competitors and how your business can embrace the strategies that have taken family-controlled organisations to positions of market leadership and global prominence.

As such, this program is particularly relevant to non-family member managers and next generation executives who will measurably benefit from the leadership and entrepreneurial qualities critical to succession planning.

An EMBA (Corporate) specialisation is also available and is specifically designed for managers in large multinational organsations as well as smaller private companies.

  • Either a strong undergraduate degree or evidence of other significant post secondary learning (including professional learning).
  • GMAT Score is optional but will be required for students without first degree, at the EMBA Director’s discretion.
  • Two references, one of which must be work related · Applicants must provide a letter of employer support.

EXECUTIVE DELIVERY

The Executive MBA Family Business is structured to accommodate senior managers who cannot afford to take time out for full-time study.

On-campus classes are scheduled in a series of one and two-week in-residence sessions, spaced out over a 13-month period or extended over 26 months, allowing managers to utilise their allotted holiday and long service leave to earn senior level qualifications with minimum interruption to their work commitments.
