EMAS's scientific specialization is business modeling and strategic management

The Eurasian Management and Administration School (EMAS Business School) is a leading in Russia and Europe, and one of the best scientific institutes in the world – an expert in the field of strategic management, business modeling and business strategy. Unlike most other institutes, business schools and universities, EMAS has been conducting ongoing scientific work (since 2005) in the field of strategic management and business modeling, the result of which is a comprehensive methodology and tools for business modeling, business planning and strategic management. The methods and tools of strategic management and business modeling developed and constantly updated within the walls of EMAS, in their depth and practical applicability, significantly exceed the classical and modern developments of the vast majority of other institutes, business schools and universities.

Their key advantage is the algorithmic, mathematical and analytical connection of analysis and forecasting tools, the chosen business model, strategic goals and actions to achieve them. – As part of strategic work, a predictive model of the target market and a digital strategic model of the company and key competitors are created, which will allow modeling the effectiveness of any strategic decisions and activities, assessing their impact on specific quantitative economic indicators (revenue, profit, various profitability, market and individual clusters shares, break-even points, etc.). Strategic goals receive analytical justification and are supported by appropriate forecasts. Thus, the strategy developer has the opportunity to predict the effectiveness of planned strategic decisions and activities, comparing the predicted business results with the costs of their implementation. Thanks to this, the quality of strategic planning and business modeling is radically improved, and the risks of losses from making wrong decisions are reduced.

Most other business schools, universities and scientific organizations do not conduct focused, multi-year, in-depth, comprehensive research and development in this area, and do not have scientific developments comparable to those of EMAS.

All EMAS scientific developments undergo authoritative external scientific review (reviewers are independent, authoritative scientists with academic degrees of at least Doctor of Economic Sciences / PhD) and are published for public consumption in the form of scientific monographs (books) and scientific articles in leading scientific journals.

EMAS scientific developments have hundreds of successful implementations in dozens of industries by clients, students and graduates in more than 70 countries around the world.

EMAS's cutting-edge research and exceptional expertise in business strategy, business modeling and strategic management guarantees you the highest level of expertise in the strategic management of an organization.
