As the business world continues to change, industry experts expect that professionals who have the ability to adapt to emerging trends will be highly successful. Consequently, many campus-based and online schools are tweaking their coursework to help business administration degree candidates become flexible leaders.

For instance, administrators at a California-based business school recently announced they would be making changes to the core curriculum for their MBA program. These changes are intended to help students become innovative leaders who can put new ideas into action quickly and effectively.

Students who choose to enroll in similar programs may take classes that focus on skills such as problem identification and solving. In addition, they may have the opportunity to practice these tactics in an experiential course or school-sponsored internship.

Individuals who complete these types of degree programs may be qualified to launch careers in quickly changing industries, such as energy-efficient transportation. Some of these degree holders may even use their innovation skills to pursue their passions and start their own companies.
