the LGO journey
as well as my attempts to make sense of the business world
Business schools say reputable dual-degree programs also serve to strengthen ties with industry, which is what MIT says has happened with its Leaders for Global Operations program. In that dual-degree track, candidates receive an MBA and a master’s in engineering in one of seven engineering disciplines. Candidates must meet the rigorous application requirements of both MIT’s Sloan School of Management and its engineering school. The program has inspired partnerships with 24 companies, ranging from Amazon.com (AMZN), to Verizon Wireless (VZ), to Kimberly-Clark (KMB). As a partner, the companies get premier recruiting access to students who have been groomed to run large manufacturing facilities. MIT strategically recruits for the program and aims to attract 10 percent to 15 percent of its MBA class into that dual-degree track.
