The Wharton Certificate in Management (WCM) is designed to increase the business skills and leadership capabilities of upper level law students who aspire to lead key parts of a business, non-profit, agency, or firm and form the pool of future top leadership of any organization. Participants will: •Advance their strategic decision making capabilities to think faster and more creatively about current competitive strategies and solutions. •Deepen understanding of organizational dynamics to improve the design and implementation of new initiatives and avoid destructive conflicts. •Build capabilities for leading teams across functions. •Develop knowledge in core areas of running an enterprise, including marketing, management, strategy and finance, particularly the understanding of how financial data is generated and reported, as well as how it is used for decision making, analysis, and valuation.
The focus will be on how these core areas connect to other disciplines based on current research and best practice.
The WCM is designed by Wharton's Aresty Institute of Executive Education, in conjunction with the University of Pennsylvania Law School. The WCM is taught by Wharton professors.

If a student gets a spot in this course, they will be sent a pre-enrollment survey. This survey must be filled out before the end of add/drop in order to finalize enrollment.
This course will be held in a condensed, one-week format. Students are expected to be present for five full days of class, Monday – Friday, January 7-11th, 2019.
