The Americas MBA
Pursuing an MBA is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life and doing it at the right school is even more important. The Americas MBA at Atlantis University will expose you to business ideas, practices and experiences that prepare you to manage and innovate in challenging markets. In recent times, we have seen the emergence of new markets and new market leaders in the global economy.
The emerging economies of the Americas, with dynamics that mirror the Asian market and with less than half of China’s population, are more productive and innovative than the Asian giant and offers very attractive and dynamic internal markets, especially in terms of relative purchasing power. These changing conditions require a new generation of business managers, leaders, new rule breakers and rule makers in charge of changing the world order. In Atlantis University, we are committed to provide the educational experience that builds the discipline of the mind and positions our students to emerge as leaders and winners, creating new market spaces in an uncertain and volatile economy.
Our world class faculty integrate the best practices of the developed world, with the disruptive practices of leading firms operating in unpredictable business atmospheres. Our curriculum incorporates across several workshops, seminars and extra-curricular activities a learning platform aimed at igniting critical thinking, creativity, innovation, and collaboration emphasizing in its content and delivery rigor, relevance, and return on your investment. The decision is up to you; do you want to be a protagonist or a witness? Do you want to lead or to follow? Do you want to be a rule breaker or a rule taker? We invite you to immerse in the new paradigm of the art, science and practice of creating value for the society, for your business and organization, and of course…for yourself.

Breakdonw by Course
Module I - Patterns and Perspectives
The increased complexity of today's business dynamics demands a comprehensive understanding of the patterns, key milestones, and social and technological breakthroughs. Experts estimate that 70% of the new economic growth in the world will come from emergent economies, mostly from Asia and Latin America. This module explores and identifies the implications for business and decision makers of this new reality from 5 different perspectives: Social, Political, Macro-Micro Economic Perspective, and Strategy and Markets.
Module II - People and Organizations.
The future business leaders will be the ones who have mastered the art of searching, attracting, developing and retaining talent, with the absorptive capacity and know-how to tackle novel and different challenges. This module develops in students a critical understanding of human behavior in organizations and small groups, learning how to craft the right interactions, incentives, and portfolio of stimuli that will enable the alignment between the organization and the individual interests.
Module III - Business Practices and Processes.
A competitive advantage is based in the capacity of firms to execute its strategy with the right sequence of moves, timing and resource base. An unfortunate reality in business is that 2 out of every 10 strategic initiatives fail to deliver the expected results. This module will expose students with the routines, practices, processes and organizational capabilities that lead to a) an increased operational efficiency using technology, b) better business decisions making by having a better mix of judgment, intuition, and analysis, and c) an increase of execution capabilities of firms.
Module IV - Performance Management
One of the most fundamental reasons of the recent collapse of financial markets is the lack of an appropriate performance and evaluation system of the different investment practices, and implications of futures derivatives for the firms. Therefore, the design of performance management systems that reflect the reality of markets and the performance of firms is an imperative. This module will teach students to: a) design metrics that link strategic expectations with operative results, b) identify the financial implication of business decisions, and c) to analyze business performance from a financial perspective.
Module V - Practice
Knowledge delivered in the classroom becomes relevant only if it is applicable in real life. Praxis enables students to internalize concepts, and develop skills and capabilities by learning by doing. This module will enable students to actively participate in innovation driven projects and initiatives conducted by a team composed by students, and guided by our faculty. Student will learn and put in practice consulting skills and problem solving techniques aimed to tackle an innovation challenge or problem in the organization.
