Taking your MBA at RSM exposes you to the biggest, most relevant ideas shaping modern, global business and challenges you to dive deep into the theories, the problems and the technical issues that, as a future decision-maker, you will have to navigate. But becoming an impactful manager is not just about mastering the granularity of today’s challenges within specific problem domains. Modern management is also a craft that requires you to be able to step back, critically assess the big picture (using the different tools acquired during your MBA) see the risks and the opportunities ahead and join the dots that connect them.
Running across your MBA journey at RSM is an integrative programme that empowers you to re-evaluate each of your core subjects as a function of the whole and critically reflect on how the different pieces fit together and where you will need to apply your own personal touch in order to create holistic and sustainable value.
The Craft of Management is the red thread during your MBA. Each session invites you to question what you learn in the broader context of today's management challenges and responsibilities. You will be challenged again to reflect on why you are pursuing an MBA, what you hope to achieve and what kind of impact you aim to have after the MBA.
