From the supplier: Two innovative programs in the business college at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, NY, make extensive use of integrated software and a computer bulletin board system (BBS). The Executive Master of business Administration (EMBA) degree is a program for executives with at least six years of managerial experience. It seeks to enhance the student's skills at developing group projects and communication skills. After evaluating a number of commercial packages, the RPI faculty selected Enable Software's Enable, an integrated package that combines word processing, spreadsheet software and data base management with telecommunications capability. Using Enable on their laptop computers, the 21 of the 23 enrolled students communicate via a BBS system when not in class. Students in the management and Technology MBA program, a four- to 16-week course of study for future technology managers, also use Enable, as well as a number of specialized manufacturing and marketing software programs.

Revising and implementing a new curriculum, especially at the graduate level, can be daunting. Ken Bardach, associate dean of management at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, N.Y., is fond of the saying: "The only people who like change are wet babies." When that change is driven by a comprehensive understanding of market needs, coupled with a sound academic program, the results are worth the effort.
Current and future managers are taking advantage of two innovative graduate programs at Rensselaer. The Executive Master of business Administration (EMBA) for experienced managers and the management and Technology MBA (M&T/MBA) programs are a result of profound structural changes in RPI's MBA curricula.
