EMBA Managing Networks
The management of a company has to be able to perceive and understand the position of their organisation in the rapidly changing, lively network environment. The ability to work as a part of different networks and to build one's partner and network relationships are essential prerequisites for the success of a network manager. The Managing Networks programme provides a modern and up-to-date view of the contents of cooperation and network thinking as well as their management.
The goal of the Managing Networks programme is to develop the participants' network management thinking to see business networks and cooperation relationships as strategic resources which can be managed and have common goals and aims.
Our aim in the programme is
- to form a general view of the modern cooperation and network thinking of management
- to define the key partnerships in your work as a strategic resource that can and should be managed
