Opleiding: Executive MBA Moscow

Learning purpose

The economy of the Russian Federation is rapidly evolving from a state controlled plan economy aimed at the local market into a free market economy within the international economic system. Foreign investments are increasing substantially. More and more foreign companies start working in the Russian market, have their representatives in Russia and enroll Russian employees. On the other hand, Russian companies make increasing efforts for co-operation with foreign firms, entering international markets and making business abroad.

The development of this fundamental process results in an increasing need for managers with up-to-date knowledge of modern managerial methods and techniques. There exists a basic demand for advanced management education and regular retraining of the executive managers.

This MBA is designed to support experienced and globally oriented managers to be truly successful in their careers in an international environment and within the Russian context. We aim at 'de-specialization' and preparing 'generalists'.

In contrast to other MBA programs where the Russian partner only bares the organizational functions, the Russian component brings independent added value to this program. The Russian business professors engaged in this program take into account Russian economic, business and cultural peculiarities and thus make education more effective for Russian managers.
