About this program
A challenging master for potential top managers and strategy consultants. Learn to develop and implement strategies with the latest technology to create value for business and society. Some parts of business can’t be handed over to artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. Strategic management is complex. This programme brings together theories and analytical techniques with the newest knowledge from research and insider perspectives for your future role as top manager or strategy consultant. You’ll focus on three key managerial activities: strategic analysis, strategy formulation and strategy implementation. You’ll develop a deep understanding of strategic issues at company, industry and societal level as you formulate strategic options and make decisions under challenging conditions of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. As you develop your interpersonal and cross-cultural communication and collaboration competencies, you’ll gain a competitive advantage in the international job market.
