in a recent study, management researcher
Jim Collins, author of the
book “Good to Great”, concludes that
consistently successful companies owe
their performance to the leadership of
clear-thinking personalities who maintain
a focus on what matters most.
In one study, he found that these
people had the special ability to see
through complexity and to recognise
patterns within the flood of information,
and make these patterns useful to their
companies.
This is the core element of the International
Business Management Masters
Degree Programme. Its interdisciplinary
content, such as social and communication
competencies, creates the basis for
taking on a leadership role at various
heirarchical levels wihin companies of
various sizes and branches doing business
internationally.
After the bachelors degree programme
has provided you with the basic theories,
models and instruments of business
economics and its related disciplines, the
masters degree programme integrates
and consolidates this knowledge. Furthermore,
it is important to critically consider
if and how this knowledge should
be modified in an international company
operating in an environment of increasingly
complex interdependencies and
permanent change in order to solve practical
problems in a strategic and operational
manner.
The programme offers two alternatives.
The Customer and Service
Management (KuS) focus includes poten-
mASterS deGree ProGrAmmeS
tial- and market-oriented management
and focuses on the goal-, customer- and
service-oriented configuration of valueadded
processes. The Finance, Auditing,
Control, Taxation, Accounting (FACT-Ac)
focus includes financial management and
is focused on corporate planning, documentation,
controlling, communications
and governance. Both of these focuses
build upon shared lectures and during the
course of the studies they reconnect with
each other.
At the same time, you will further
develop your personal organisational
abilities, your communication and social –
in particular intercultural – competencies,
as well as the ethical and social dimen-
sions of doing business. If you are
lacking international experience, a
minimum of one semester abroad at a
partner university is integrated into the
curriculum. The standard period of study
is four semesters full-time.
