Tom Fox welcomes Dr. Mark Woodhull on this episode of the Innovation in Compliance Podcast. Mark is the Director of Graduate Business Education at Schreiber University, and a Military Science Academic Program Manager. He joins Tom to talk about the MBA program at Schreiner, what gain it brings to students, and what impact it will have on the business world in years to come.

Schreiner MBA: Why It's Important and Who It's For

Schreiner's MBA program was constructed based on feedback from regional businesses about undergraduates' lack of training in ethics. Ethics have an enormous impact on a company and determine whether they thrive or collapse. "So, we felt that we would surround our program with that particular theme," Mark tells Tom. He adds that the kind of MBA program Schreiner runs is to create all-round individuals so that they can be competent in various fields no matter what workplace they enter. "What we're trying to do is create people who are flexible, versatile and are able to work within organizations or companies on that flexible basis," Mark states. 

The Future of MBA Education and Leadership

Tom asks Mark to share some insight about how he envisions the future of MBA programs as well as corporate leadership. Many universities have begun specializing their MBA programs, and Schreiner is looking at that possibility as well. The university is also creating opportunities for their Hispanic students by delivering the same MBA program in Spanish. They will be allowed to take the programs from the convenience of their homes. As for corporate America, Mark stresses that transformative leadership is the way to go.
