Annotation
Das MBA-Studium bereitet auf künftige Führungsaufgaben vor. Dazu setzen sich die Studierenden bereits während des Studiums intensiv mit zukunftsweisenden und unternehmensrelevanten Themen auseinander und erwerben Fähigkeiten im Bereich des Selbst-, Team- und Konfliktmanagements. Darüber hinaus erweitern sie ihre Fachkenntnisse um managementrelevante betriebswirtschaftliche Kompetenzen und bauen ihre Kommunikationsfähigkeit aus. Um dies zu ermöglichen, wird der MBA-Studiengang an der HSW bewusst in kleinen Gruppen gelehrt. Er setzt sich aus Studierenden verschiedener Berufe zusammen und lebt von den vielfältigen beruflichen Erfahrungen und fachlichen Hintergründen. Im Rahmen des MBA-Studiums besteht die Möglichkeit, auf freiwilliger Basis einen inhaltlichen Schwerpunkt zu wählen und so ein individuelles Profil zu entwickeln. Die Wahl eines Schwerpunkts ermöglicht es, das breite Spektrum des General Managements aus einer bestimmten Perspektive zu betrachten und wissenschaftlich zu vertiefen. Natürlich wird der gewählte Schwerpunkt auch auf dem Zeugnis und dem Diploma Supplement ausgewiesen.
