Newsletter #10/2016

MSM Dean Wim Naudé

This newsletter has somewhat of an entrepreneurship flavor. This reflects the fact that teaching and researching entrepreneurship is one of the key focus areas at MSM. It also reflects the fact that MSM is itself in somewhat of an ‘entrepreneurial revolution’. In 2013 we offered only a full-time MBA program, an Executive MBA with a number of partners, around 18 executive short-courses, and a DBA degree. Today, within a space of three years, we have expanded this to include five M.Sc. (joint) programs in management and engineering, a Master in Management program, an Executive MBA in Maastricht, and no less than 35 executive short-courses, and an online MBA about to be launched. We are fortunate and grateful that we have such driven students, and dedicated and highly qualified people working at MSM, that made this possible. In our newsletters we will more and more showcase the People of MSM, starting in this issue with three top academics who have recently joined us.
