Executive MBA (english)

The OBS Executive MBA stresses the strategic, international and innovative vision of business management
The transformations occurring in the world today require a thorough analysis of new competitive scenarios and the application of new business models. The growing, complex volatility of global economies and their unquestionable interdependence colours our environment with uncertainty and ambiguity.
In this context, professionals must react quickly to change and make decisions according to the new needs of the company, and also think about creating value for stakeholders in the company.
The OBS Executive MBA stresses the strategic, international and innovative vision of business management, meaning that anyone responsible for a business, or a department thereof, must have a holistic view of the company, understanding that any strategic decision must be in line with the company's strategy and be implemented in an innovative way.
 
The programme focuses on developing the skills needed to lead a business project, manage a department in a company or start up your own business, such as:

• Developing the ability to analyse and make decisions in a global environment of great uncertainty.
• Developing the management tools and skills needed for leading global companies and institutions.
• Reflecting how to improve, enhance or transform the design of organisations when faced with new global challenges.
• Providing methodological tools to manage innovative, international companies efficiently and effectively.
• Developing human talent (high performance teams).
• Networking, exchange of ideas and learning from others.
• Working as a team in multicultural environments.
• Multilateral solutions within and outside the company.

The structure and duration of the Executive MBA ensures that the objectives are attained. The complexity of running a business requires extensive development of the different functional areas involved, along with the development of the management, communication and motivational skills to articulate the strategic vision of the company.
