Creating Executive MBA Program Value Through Deming’s New Economics Principles

The purpose of this research is to determine what Executive MBA Deans and Program Directors can learn from Dr. W. Edwards Deming specifically with many of the principles he discussed in The New Economics for Industry, Government and Education. (MIT, 1994). To determine this information, the current state of the Executive MBA sector will be examined along with select theories from Dr. Deming. Upon completing this research, conclusions will be generated as to the exact lessons, if any, that can be learned and potentially applied from this catalyst that ignited the quality revolution worldwide. The goal of this initial study is to determine if Executive MBA Deans and Program Directors can benefit from the "Deming Thinking" in order to move the Executive Education sector forward
