MSM Dean Director Wim Naudé |

|
It has been a busy month for MSM and its partners, with our MaastrichtMBA in full swing, a number of Executive Education programs running, research projects coming to fruition, and a number of new initiatives launched. You can read about some of these in this month’s newsletter, including the growing extent of MSM’s involvement in China. At a fantastic event in Nanjing I was part of the formal launch of our Healthcare Management MBA, which included the appointment of a number of new highly qualified experts in healthcare, medicine and management to contribute to the specializations and other program requirements. But also locally MSM continued to promote business; we played a key role in the successful 2nd Dutch-Palestinian Bilateral Cooperation Forum in The Hague, and lead an interesting debate during the Maastricht Global Entrepreneurship Week on (women) entrepreneurship in emerging markets. Please note our deadlines for upcoming programs at the bottom of this newsletter. Next month in our Christmas edition we will report back on some exciting new initiatives with regard to our Sports Management Executive MBA that starts in the New Year. |
