Executive MBA
Swiss Management Center and its educational unit SMC - F.R.E.E. (Forum for Research and Executive Education) are committed to providing unsurpassed excellence in a dynamic and innovative academic environment. Our Executive MBA program successfully integrates applied research, state-of-the-art socio-economic theory, with hands-on functional specialization. We have grounded our core curriculum on the principles of free markets, self-responsibility, and individual liberty that challenges the international business executive with the latest theoretical insights and international developments to advance him/her to a comprehensive understanding of the social questions of our times.
Program Design
Our complex and unstable world with its manifold imperatives of acting, taking sides, or judging matters responsibly compels the business executive to have far more than a passing perception of our politically charged and unpredictable social environment. The interdependence of entrepreneurship, of transnational legislation and global economic necessities, is ubiquitous and rests entirely on the functioning of free markets. We have developed a truly inclusive and coherent curriculum that supplies the top management with the knowledge necessary to meet the challenges of globalization and to handle social phenomena of an accelerating complex nature.
SMC's Forum for Research and Entrepreneurial Education - F.R.E.E. is an academic institution which promotes research and teaching in the scientific tradition of the Austrian School of Economics.
