Keeping the MBA relevant in the New Economy

Exeter MBA Alumni Conference 2018

Emerging business models that challenge established ways of working, the need for sustainable business practices that respect and conserve limited resources, the challenges of new technology and its effect on the way we work and live. These are some of the challenges that characterise the ‘New Economy’ that MBA graduates are entering as the 2020s approach.
