The International MBA in Strategic Management - A programme for professionals

Business Development, Corporate Development and Strategy are combined with one another in the MBA Programme in Strategic Management.

The programme will familiarise you with classic theories of business development and strategic management while teaching you how to successfully apply the methods and tools of a manager internationally. Within the context of your own career experience, you will be encouraged to adopt different points of view as you reflect on factors relevant to success in general management and strategic management in particular, together with corporate development.

The MBA Programme in Strategic Management takes a targeted approach to developing your personal and substantive skills further, so that you can approach situations not as invariable givens but as opportunities in which to seize the initiative and actively take charge.

Business Development, Corporate Development and Strategic Management, Developed with Partners in the Field for Application in the Field

Through consistent networking of overarching topics such as

• International business and competitiveness strategies
• Innovation management and  culture
• Change processes and growth
• As well as international and intercultural aspects of management and business strategies,

all corporate areas are incorporated into the teaching. You will learn to take the holistic approach of a 'general manager' when confronted with complex decision-making situations; even during the programme you can make an effective contribution to your company's strategic development.

Strengthening strategic and entrepreneurial intelligence

As future experts in business development, you will acquire the necessary know-how to support your management in the decisive strategic areas, to make decisions in complex situations, and to take responsibility for your own action.

• You will learn to apply an interdisciplinary perspective geared towards long-term target systems to analyse cross-functional processes and market-related conditions and dynamics.
• You will discuss the economic, legal and social foundations and instruments of management and familiarise yourself with all of the relevant operative, organisational functional areas, processes and management instruments.
• You will learn to apply efficient self-management to derive the most of your personal potential, to better understand your own behaviours and the approaches of others, and thus to accept a role as effective, socially competent, reflective and committed organiser in your working environment.
