At Sabancı we are committed to help you realize your full potential. Our Executive

and develop the critical professional skills required to succeed in an international career.
Our program is not for the fainthearted. We want people with pre-existing conditions of

THE EXECUTIVE MBA PROGRAM
The Executive MBA at Sabancı University is a
demanding part-time program for mid-career
professionals with at least five years of work
experience. The Program provides a unique learning
opportunity for practitioners without necessitating
a break in their professional careers. The part-time
nature of the program gives its participants the
opportunity to reflect and work upon their past and
current experiences, which enhances their learning.
The Program operates in a setting where
participants, in similar stages of their professional
development but of varied educational and
employment experiences work and learn
cooperatively. Such diversity in participants
enables learning opportunities unavailable in more
conventional in-company programs. Strong ties
develop amongst participants as they progress
through this intensive experience. The value of
such relationships lies not only in generating an
amicable social environment and a positive climate
for learning but also in extending these ties into the
professional and personal lives of the participants.
Executive MBA Program further enriches this
experience through the expertise of its distinctive
faculty, composed of academics known nationally
and internationally for their scholarly research, as
well as experienced consultants and managers from
industry.
"It takes a great deal of self evaluation and determination to earn AACSB Accreditation, and I commend
Sabancı University for its dedication to management education, as well as its leadership in becoming the
second university in Turkey to earn accreditation."

INTERNATIONAL STUDY TRIP
TO BOSTON
As part of the comprehensive strategic
alliance agreement between Sabancı School
of Management and MIT Sloan School of
Management, starting with the 2011-2012
academic year, Sabancı Executive MBA students
will attend an immersion program for two weeks
at Boston, taking courses from MIT on leadership
and innovation. The trip will also include visits to
leading businesspeople and companies.
“As a leading educational institution
in an exciting and rapidly developing
region, Sabancı University was an
excellent choice for MIT Sloan’s first
collaboration in Eastern Europe and
the Middle East. We are honored
to have the opportunity to engage with Sabancı’s
outstanding faculty and students with the shared
and mutually beneficial goal of transforming global
management practice.”

PROGRAM CONTENT
The content of the Executive MBA has been designed to balance challenges inherent
not only in the demands of the business world but also in the learning needs of
participants. In more specific terms, the design of the program accommodates at least
three such sets of pressures and demands, at once conflicting yet complementary.
Challenge 1: The “Global” And The “Local”
There is a greater recognition that the competition in
the business world is becoming increasingly global,
leading to new forms of cooperative arrangements among
business firms.
All of this happens in and is mediated by a “local”
context. There is therefore a need to better appreciate
the “local”: understanding how business is constructed
and operates in Turkey; developing, a greater sensitivity
to the role and impact of the “local”, with its cultural and
institutional features, in the processes of globalization.
Sabancı Executive MBA acknowledges the issues
engendered by the dual forces of globalization and
localization.

Challenge 2: Integrative and Functional Emphasis
Challenge 3: Theory and Practice
The content of managerial learning involves the
dual needs of developing an integrative view versus
enhancing expertise in functional areas of business. The
development of an integrative view and an appreciation of
the whole emerge from an adequate understanding of not
only one’s specialty but also of other business activities.
Another duality in managerial learning involves what
is often posed as a confrontation between “theory” and
“practice”.
Sabancı Executive MBA program has a generalist slant,
emphasizing the development of awareness and grasp
of fundamentals. The design of the Program, however,
also allows considerable time for the development
of specialized expertise. In this respect, our program
distinguishes itself from other programs.
A central tenet of the Sabancı University Executive
MBA is to view this alleged dichotomy as synergistic
rather than conflicting: the program is clearly concerned
with and actively interested in the world of practice but
possesses a strong theoretical component as well.
"The balance between theory and practice is very well organized. As many of the internationally recognized
faculty members have long term real business life experience in addition to their academic background, they
combine the theory with lively discussions, case studies and encourage us to think, question and explore.
Furthermore, the program is enriched with considerable amount of reputable professional guest speakers. In
my search of excellence, I believe that my decision to participate Sabancı University EMBA program is one of
the best moves of my life."

THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
CAREER COACHING
Learning opportunities generated by the Executive
MBA program go far beyond the class sessions. The
design and the implementation of the Executive
MBA take the part-time nature of the Program as an
asset and consider participants’ engagement with the
Executive MBA and their daily work responsibilities
as complementary learning opportunities.
Career coaching is provided for all graduate program participants in Sabancı School
of Management. Some of the services that are provided for Sabancı Executive MBA
participants are:
Fundamentally, the program aims to create an
environment where formal input through readings
and lectures are integrated with platforms in which
LEARNING FROM PRACTITIONERS
One of Sabancı University’s underlying tenets
is to be “practice oriented” and nowhere is this
principle taken more seriously than in the School of
Management.
The Executive Insights series provides a forum
where successful executives share their life and work
experiences together with our students and alumni.
These events are held mid-week, downtown and
thus also provide a great venue for our alumni and
current students to network.
A Selection of Executive Insights Speakers
participants can learn from their own practices and
those of other fellow participants. Most courses
use case-studies to bring real-life issues into the
classroom, require students to apply their knowledge
in novel situations, facilitate learning through teamwork, and improve communication skills through
presenting and supporting their analyses. Casestudies are selected from leading case publishers of
the world, such as Harvard, Ivey and IMD, as well as
some cases written by our own professors.
Executives-to-Executives conference series are
held once in every term and they feature in depth
presentations by visiting executives. Our goal is to
invite not just successful executives to these sessions,
but those whom we call reflective practitioners,
managers who have taken time to reflect on their
successes and failures, and have derived lessons from
their experiences.

"By its experienced staff and modern way of education which tries to improve itself every year, Sabancı is among
the best options to have an education like this even in European scale. Selection of participants (that is what they
call EMBA students in Sabancı) is really great and creates an environment that adds experience on to theoretical
knowledge. Once, we calculated the total experience in the class of 2009 and it turned out to be close to 300 years.
This really means a lot, because you share experience in the classroom and during group working sessions."
