"As a founder and director of my own business in Russia, I chose BI's MBA Programme so I could get international experience. Exposure to top professors and students, their insights and experiences creates a very motivational atmosphere."Marina Iskhakova - Russia, MBA
The BI MBA Programme encourages leaders to accept responsability, to act autonomously and to promote this behaviour in others. The strategic leadership orientation of the programme is conveyed through courses in leadership, strategy and corporate finance, and the Scandinavian leadership style promotes the concept of team dynamics.
The MBA Programme at BI Norwegian School of Management not only provides the knowledge based understanding of teamwork, but also gives participants an intensive experience in working in diverse teams, encouraging co-operation rather than competition. Key leadership skills such as "advocacy an inquiry", "planning", "inclusion" and "conflict resolution" are valuable by-products.
Participants are exposed to real business life through the Consultancy Project, a consultancy for a company's top management. Teams of MBA participants assume the role of advisors on an issue of strategic importance to the company. Although a learning experience, the objective is to deliver real value to the company concerned in the form of fresh, direct, articulate and actionable decision inputs.
The MBA Programme is based on lectures, cases, class discussions, teamwork and individual presentations. Because the emphasis on team dynamics, a great deal of importance is placed on the case method of teaching. Teams of 4-6 participants analyse the case situation, and develop possible courses of action.
You are welcome to a challenging and rewarding year of study!
