Their\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mbaworld.com\/en\/Accreditation.aspx\">accreditation service<\/a>\u00a0is the global standard for all MBA, DBA, and MBM programs, and they currently accredit over 200\u00a0business schools in more than 70 countries.<\/p>\n<p>The AMBA MBA Innovation Award recognizes new practices, risks, and creativity in AMBA-accredited programs. \u00a0Hult\u2019s new MBA curriculum, that saw them win the award, is the world\u2019s first to be designed in collaboration with global business leaders and employers.<\/p>\n<p>Hult redesigned their One-Year MBA curriculum to fully integrate the teaching of critical \u2018soft skills\u2019 and measure students\u2019 development in a systematic and comprehensive way. \u00a0Using five key competencies (Adaptive Thinking, Communication, Building Relationships, Teamwork, and Execution) identified by employers as essential to success in the workplace, MBA students work on improving these competencies throughout the program through a blend of training, mentorship, and feedback from peers, faculty, and professional development specialists.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Main Wilson, AMBA Chief Executive, had this to say of Hult\u2019s win: \u201cThe fact that Hult International Business School created an MBA program in close consultation with leading employers, designed to deliver performance-ready MBAs to make a major impact in their roles from day one, is both extremely impressive and much in tune with the needs of modern business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This latest recognition of Hult\u2019s innovation in business education cements its position as a pioneer of action learning, which has been central to the school\u2019s approach since it was first founded as the Arthur D. Little School of Management in Boston in 1964. The new MBA curriculum takes the action learning approach to bold new levels by combining skills development and competitive simulations with a six-month-long \u2018Hult Impact Challenge\u2019 \u2013 a hands-on project working on current business challenges faced by multinationals such as IBM, Unilever, and Philips.<\/p>\n<p><b>For media inquiries, please contact: <\/b><a href=\"mailto:press@hult.edu\"><b>press@hult.edu<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Our research into what top employers are looking for in business school graduates<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hult offers a range of highly skills-focused and employability-driven <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/en\/programs\/\">business school programs<\/a> including a range of MBA options and a comprehensive one year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/en\/programs\/masters\/international-business\/\">Masters in International Business<\/a>.
