About
The General Management program aims to educate for leadership; it offers a generalist and managerial degree instead of a narrow and functional one. Thus, our students will move effortlessly from one functional area to another and work smoothly with colleagues in all areas. It will enable students to develop a broad-based range of concepts and business skills (including soft skills) needed to effectively manage the functional areas of a company. The program fosters an understanding for the interdependencies of decisions made in the company and how value can be created by these decisions. Students graduate with two majors out of Accounting & Financial Control, Economics, Finance, Human Resources and Organizational Behavior, Information Systems, Innovation & Technology Management, International Business, Marketing, Production & Operations, and Strategic Management.
