Example: Master of Advanced Studies in General Management
The program targets managers from different divisions of the company who want to deepen their management knowledge.
The aim of the program is to enable participants to develop a solid foundation in core functional business disciplines, to think in a broader context, and to acquire the strategic perspective that is required for managerial decision making.
Besides academic knowledge, company-specific issues are addressed and neatly integrated into the modules. Participants can thus directly apply and link their newly acquired knowledge with company-related problems.
Possible topics are strategy, financial management, managerial accounting, leadership, change management, marketing, communications, and others – based on the needs of the company. Class discussions and projects focus on immediate application in the workplace.
The program consists of at least 9 modules, spread over 18 to 24 months. Every module is concluded with an exam. Furthermore, a diploma thesis is required which gives students the opportunity to apply their knowledge to an actual business problem.
