Master of Business Administration (MBA) General Management Concentration

The MBA – General Management programme provides students with a balanced insight into the  challenges  of  managing businesses. The  modern  day manager  needs  to  have  a  broad understanding  of  the  various  functions  within  an  organisation  in  order to effectively  meet organisational  goals  and objectives.  In  addition  to  this,  the  rapid  expansion  of  international trade means suppliers, customers and work colleagues are much more likely to work within a multicultural working environment. This in turn, requires a different set of skills to be able to manage both effectively and efficiently.
