These positions can include management or policy-making positions in large organisations, as well as positions of management in small to medium sized companies.

An aim of the MBA programme is that students are able to critical analyse and evaluate various developments within an organisation so that they can form, create and instigate policies, visions and aims and solutions within that organisation. They should be in a position to analyse the strategic processes and vision of a company or organisation and using this analysis to apply and implement tools to innovate, optimise and (re-)structure these processes using an integral approach. From an international perspective, the students should learn to analyse the environment they find themselves in and adapt their behaviour and role according to the macro and micro environments they find themselves in.

The MBA is offered as full-time (18 months) and part-time (24-36 months) and lectures, workshops and seminars will be scheduled from Thursdays until Saturdays, using Wittenborg’s block system.
