Objectives
A video conference in the USA, a business trip to Japan and a telephone conference with colleagues in Rome, Istanbul and Madrid: global working is not only the order of the day in large companies, but also in medium-sized businesses. The International Management study program prepares students for these challenges and teaches much more than business administration at an international level. In addition, semesters abroad enable students to acquire international management expertise and develop intercultural skills.
Topics such as internationalization strategies and intercultural management are covered as well as marketing, innovation, finance, human resources and digital transformation. Students will be able to recognize challenges for different business areas in internationally operating organizations and develop solution strategies for them. The International Management degree program promotes independent, analytical and critical thinking. In addition, this degree program places particular emphasis on the development of intercultural competence as a key qualification for future career entry.
