This training program covers the same useful information and real-life business know-how MBA graduates acquire throughout their studies in top-tier business schools. We have even made it more interactive by preparing a gamebook for you. Learning business and finance need not be boring! The gamebook will test what you have learned and will simulate a real-world environment in which your decisions as a business executive will have real monetary consequences for a company. Can you think of any better way to reinforce what you have learned?

An exciting journey from A-Z.

If you are a complete beginner and you know nothing about business or finance, don’t worry at all! In each of the five main modules of the course, we start from the very basics and will gradually build up your knowledge. The course contains plenty of real-life examples and case studies that make it easy to understand.

Five modules

MBA in a box is a collection of the five courses that are most frequently taught to MBA students. We have carried out extensive research and explored the curriculums of the most successful MBA programs around the world including Harvard Business School, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, INSEAD, Booth School of Business, London Business School and others. This is the reason the following modules have been included in this program:

Business Strategy
Management and HR Management
Marketing Communications and Marketing Management
Accounting and Financial Statement Analysis
Decision Making, Persuasion, and Negotiation
