 MBS FLAGSHIP COURSES
Responsible Leadership
In this module, you will explore responsible leadership – a fascinating topic
which, in all its incarnations, has always been of the utmost importance.
Given the challenges currently facing society, and indeed the entire planet,
it is vitally important that managers understand this topic in all its manifold
dimensions, starting with classic leadership theories and all the way through
to new dimensions of leadership, such as leading diversity and the role of
ethics and values in leadership.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship

In the highly competitive world in which we live, innovative ideas are
what separates successful businesses from the rest. These ideas are often
generated by individuals with the vision to turn their innovative concepts
into business ventures – entrepreneurial enterprises. Creating an outstanding
product, developing a strong brand and building a solid customer base
all require innovation. Entrepreneurship and innovation both involve
identifying high-potential commercial opportunities, gathering resources
such as talent and capital, and managing rapid growth and significant risks.
This course covers all of these aspects, equipping you as a manager with
the skills you need to pro-actively tackle the challenges you will face as you
strive to be innovative and entrepreneurial.

Global Management
Our world is characterized by the global movement of goods and financial
transactions. In this course, you will explore the key areas a modern
manager has to be aware of and actively manage from a global perspective.
Starting by looking at global value-creation networks, the focus then shifts
to market entry modes and associated decisions in selecting a suitable
country for a company’s global activities. The course also discusses cultural
and ethical issues as well as key components of global risk management.
Tebogo, Student MBA General Management, 2018

MBA General Management | 9

EXPERT BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE
Accounting for Management Decisions
This course will give you an understanding of the accounting process and
become familiar with key accounting reports. You will develop skills in finan-
cial statement analysis and profitability analysis. The course emphasizes both
financial and managerial accounting, the latter covering cost-volume-profit
analysis, cost allocation and activity based costing. The course consists of
two components: The first is a two day accounting bootcamp where the
learning is fast and intensive. You will then participate in the business
simulation "C-Suite Life" taking on one of the key roles in a struggling
organization tasked with returning the business to profitability and growth.
Financial Management
It is imperative for any manager, and for senior managers in particular, to
have a basic understanding of financial matters. The course is designed for
non-financial executives who require a better understanding of the financial
impact of business decisions. The course introduces current financial concepts
and tools towards money management in organizations participating in
local and especially global economies. The course also introduces the topic
of sustainable finance. Knowing and understanding how sustainability
criteria such as ecological and social factors can be proactively integrated in
financial markets and financial decision-making is increasingly demanded
by customers, society and politics.
10 | MBA General Management
Strategic Marketing
Successful marketing managers understand both quantitative and qualitative
aspects of customer behavior in consumer as well as business markets.
The Strategic Marketing course provides you with a broad understanding
of fundamental marketing concepts, theories and applications. It also
emphasizes a number of highly important topics for today’s managers: the
role of sustainability in marketing management and modern marketing mix
management and the rise of social media, digitalization and big data.
Personal Development
This course gives you the opportunity to get clarity about yourself. Your
personality traits, values, needs and beliefs – to gain a full picture of your
personality. The course guides you through different aspects of your
personality and helps you identify the direction you would like to give your
career. For those who are already on the right personal career path, it provides
tools to better understand colleagues’ and employees’ needs and ways of
working. Through personal reflections, group discussions and peer support
by the end of the course you will develop an individual development plan
that will guide you towards your goal. On a voluntary level, participants
have the option to work in more depth on specific topics (identified in the
development plan) in three sessions with one of the MBA Coaches.

ELECTIVES
Business in Germany
This course is designed to help MBA candidates with an international
background navigate the intricacies of working in a German setting.
The course reflects on the socio-political environment in Germany and
important legal aspects to consider. In addition, key success factors for
doing business in Germany are discussed, as well as the significance that
the EU has for Germany and for German corporations.
Global Supply Chain Management
Value creation has changed dramatically in past decades. Companies have
moved away from being the main location for corporate value creation, to a
set-up where only a few core competencies remain with the company that
customers generally associate with the product. In addition, supply chains
have internationalized dramatically in recent years. Companies now look
for suppliers and customers not only on a local or regional basis, but across
the globe. The course explores the challenges and opportunities that these
developments offer.
Management in Emerging Markets
The goal of this course is to provide a solid base of knowledge in relation to
some of the most vibrant and economically flourishing regions of the world.
Course participants will study the economic and institutional forces that
spur or hinder business activity and growth in emerging economies.
The course is designed to provide both quantitative and theoretical
foundations for the study of emerging markets. The course is divided into
three interrelated modules with different country-specific and regional
focuses: China, India, Latin America.
Data Analytics
In today's data-driven business landscape, the ability to effectively analyze
and interpret data has become a vital skill. Data analytics empowers
managers to make informed decisions, identify patterns, and uncover
insights that can drive organizational growth and competitive advantage.
From spring 2024, you can choose this elective and expand your data
analytics knowledge.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Being one of the top business schools in the German-speaking area, we perceive it as our mission to
provide globally-minded entrepreneurial individuals with a highly inspiring academic environment and Students at MBS
enable them to become the business leaders in today’s globalized business world – filling management
level positions in companies around the world or starting their own innovative business. 650+
The MBA General Management is a unique experience that fundamentally fosters our student's business
and management knowledge, supports them in developing and enhancing their executive and leader- Nationalities on Campus
ship skills, and provides them with the opportunity to establish a strong professional network – but also
challenges them to explore uncharted territory and discover new perspectives. As part of our compre- 65
hensive approach, we aim to support our students in their personal development towards becoming a
responsible business leader in possession of essential soft skills, a broad cultural understanding, and a
strong personality. Graduates since 1991

The figures in this brochure give a good overview of the successes of our MBA Class of 2021 and their
willingness to adjust their careers in order to make the next step: 57 % changed function, 30 % relocated,
2360
39 % moved to a different sector and 13 % managed a triple change (of all three aspects).

For many of our highly international students, Germany remains the preferred economic region to
advance their careers after graduation. The requirements for this are simple: Due to the shortage of
skilled workers, the German government issues an 18-month jobseeker’s visa to international graduates
of German universities. Converting a job seeker visa into a work visa after a successful job search is a
mere formality, so nothing stands in the way of a career in Germany!

“The MBS Career Center supported me in planning my career. The contact persons
were always very approachable, very detailed, especially when they supported
me to structure my résumé. The Career Center also helped me to prepare my
interviews, such as how to highlight my achievements and how to better express
myself. This support definitely played a key role in becoming acquainted with the
German labor market and also cleared away a lot of fear from me”
