Non-economists such as scientists, engineers, technicians, lawyers or company founders face numerous new challenges as they take on management tasks:
- Agile management of a dynamic, changing business world
- Interpreting corporate key financial data and deriving decisions
- Resolving tensions or conflicts in their team
- Understanding other cultures (employees or business partners)
- Developing and successfully implementing innovative business ideas
All programmes are part-time and have a high level of relevance to the participants' practice and everyday working life. Experienced lecturers from business and science facilitate the exchange of experience and networking in mixed learning groups across numerous sectors and professions.
The programmes differ in their areas of specialisation, their study model (the proportion of face-to-face/online learning) and their language and teaching locations.
