An Innovator’s MBA

MBA alumna Wahiba Chair was featured in a recent Financial Post article about universities, MBA programs and entrepreneurship. “I was an engineer and had no business skills when I entered the program in 2007,” says Ms. Chair. “I had a vision for my company but I did not have a refined product. I was able to tailor the courses to allow me to refine my concept and take it into a viable business. My thesis was a 100-page business plan for PortaLife.”

Associate Dean, Ed Bukszar also comments on the changing face of MBA programs noting, “As we come out of the recession and enter the recovery, innovation is going to become increasingly important for business.”
