introduction

In the face of rapidly changing global markets and growing competition, international business today requires broader perspectives, new skills, shifting competitive sets and technology-driven business models.

Contemporary management has to cope with new issues and growing challenges that will impact businesses and individuals around the world. The success of an enterprise is dependent largely upon the knowledge and skills of its decision makers and their ability to conduct critical and systematic analyses of the situations confronting them.

This International Management Program (IMP) has been developed in close co-operation with distinguished international academic in order to provide top-notch executive management training for decision-makers who deal with international competition.

participants

Program participants are middle and upper level managers who want to broaden their horizons and strengthen their skills in the art and science of general management, decision making and leadership in the global marketplace.

Participants will contribute a variety of experience, perspectives and ideas to the program and in doing so inspire stimulating, pertinent, and frank discussions both in and outside of the classroom. Managers and executives learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process and can make analogies between that process and their own professional lives.

Participants are expected to have a sound command of English. They must provide proof of a minimum score of 92 points – or a minimum score of 580 according to the former system – on a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) taken no longer than three years ago.
