Executive Programs
The Strategic Business Economics Program (SBEP)—UA&P’s flagship program for top executives— celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2024 as the unique executive program that combines the powerful discipline of economics with the best and cutting-edge practices of business. The program aims to equip top-brass corporate executives, high-ranking government officials, and entrepreneurs to craft innovative strategies and robust business models in the new environment.
The SBEP enhances senior executives’ capabilities in coping with the latest global, regional and local economic trends, the inevitable rise of digitalization and AI, the primal importance of leadership and human capital, in the context of rapidly evolving knowledge-based economies. The program accomplishes this by focusing on strategic thinking and governance, the discipline of economics as applied to business, best business practices, personal development, and orientation to the common good.
The SBEP’s experience of running successfully for the past 50 years has involved training more than 1,800 senior executives from 26 countries, and from hundreds of companies, not only top corporations, but also medium-sized, dynamic enterprises, professionals (lawyers, doctors, engineers, CPAs, etc.), and government officials, including the police and military. The diversity and C-suite level of the participants contribute to a truly enriching exchange of theory, experience, wisdom, and networking, all of which the SBEP alumni highly appreciate.
With a hybrid program delivery, convenient class schedule for 11 months, top-class and business-honed professors, and networking opportunities involving key government officials and business leaders, participants return to their organizations re-energized and equipped with strategies and innovative solutions leading it to success in the new global business-economic landscape.
