It's good practice to add captions to photos to let the audience know
what they are looking at. It may also be the olny thing that they

What sets the UT MBA
apart from the competition? What is our differential advantage?
A Compressed 17-Month Program
Time is a precious commodity in today's world. Taking two years out for
an MBA program is a huge opportunity cost both for students and the
companies who hire them. By compressing the program into a 17-month
format, we believe that we can provide a high quality program in less
time. A non-traditional program structure, including "mini-terms," "hub"
courses, modules, and distance education, not only allows for more
flexibility in program delivery, but supports a compressed program, as
well. Students will begin the 47-credit hour program at the beginning of
August, and graduate in December of the following year, with a summer
internship included.
Integrated Value Chain (IVC) Management
No business is an island. Especially in today’s business environment,
competitive advantage comes from working with (rather than competing against)
other organizations. Multi-business alliances and partnerships are being
managed to maximize product/service flow, reduce costs and inventory,
share marketplace information, and develop and implement strategic plans
that span organizations from suppliers through producers to end users.
Integrated Value Chain (IVC) management is both a perspective and a set
of skills that are critical for successful managers in the new millennium.
More specifically, we believe there are four key components of IVC management:
Relationship Management
People-to-people and firm-to-firm relationship management, including
individuals and organizations both “upstream” and “downstream”
in the value chain.
Resource Management
All decisions relative to the sourcing, tracking, and utilization of
funds, people, and assets in the value chain, as well as strategic decisions
regarding make-or-buy (outsourcing).
Supply Chain Management
The management of goods and services as they travel through the value
chain from the suppliers through production to the end users.
Information Management
The gathering, analysis, dissemination and utilization of information
across the entire value chain. Information management is fundamental
to communication and goal setting between organizations, and thus is
at the heart of value chain management.
Concentrations and Electives
We are focusing our concentrations on the four disciplines that account
for the vast majority of our student placements: 1) Operations
Management, 2) Marketing,
3) Finance, and 4) Logistics
and Transportation. We believe that these four areas provide the greatest
opportunity in terms of jobs, as well as skill building, for our students.
In addition, electives will be available in a variety of support areas,
including information management, entrepreneurship, and global business.
