Wide range of MBA programmes offered online

Ingersoll Rand wanted an executive MBA programme for its managers that exploited the very latest technology even though it is a traditional manufacturing company.

The degree had to be offered almost entirely online, says David Churchill, senior manager for leadership education at the company’s corporate university, and it had to be accessible to the manufacturing company’s employees worldwide.

It chose the Kelley Direct MBA from Indiana University’s Kelley school of business. As well as delivering the teaching asynchronously, so employees could dip into the programme at different times around the world,it could be customised to Ingersoll Rand’s specific needs, such as a course in global supply chain management.
