1 Business and Professional Services Unit Executive Masters in Business Administration (EMBA), Masters in Business Administration in Entrepreneurship (MBAE) Masters in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (MEAI), International Masters in Business Administration (IMBA), Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) Introduction The Business and Professional Unit of the CHSBM is in the business of developing leaders with programmes intended for candidates who have the determination and focus to succeed, and who want to maximise their development opportunities. The programmes are intended for experienced executives who have the determination and focus to succeed, and who want to maximise their development opportunities. The format of each programme allows participants to study while continuing their careers wherever they are based in the world. The Masters in Business Administration in Entrepreneurship (MBAE) was created to meet the needs of people of mixed generational backgrounds who have a penchant for innovation and creativity. Such people are desirous of shifting from being an employee in a salaried position to becoming an owner/operator of business and to take control of their income-earning capacity. It is for people who wish to make a difference in the status quo of Caribbean business and who wish to know how to identify gaps and how to go about filling them. It answers the call of governments in LDCs (lesser developed countries) as well as developed countries asking for the pursuit of entrepreneurial endeavours that will reduce the unemployment rate, increase productivity boost export, enhance GDP and generally increase the quality of life. The MBAE is offered in both Face-to-Face (f2f) and Blended Learning formats (BL). The Masters in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (MEAI) is a product of the innovation economy through which countries have sought to manage the effects of market disasters and economic downturns. The ethos of the programme is to make a charge on the creative capabilities of its participants, patent or latent, while incorporating the theoretical precepts of academic business study at the master s level.
