Newsletter #2/2017

MSM Dean Wim Naudé

Maastricht School of Management is, as a truly global business school, very much under the impression of the fast-changing nature of jobs and the skills required for a successful career. Whether in Europe, or Asia or Africa or Latin America, managers and entrepreneurs having complex problem solving, communication, creativity and technical (often engineering related) skills are in increasing demand. Therefore, to complement our successful portfolio of Master in Management and Engineering (MME) programs with RWTH Aachen University and our MBA programs with an innovation/entrepreneurship specialization, we have recently re-launced our portfolio of short-course Executive Education programs, including offering it through a dedicated new website. Interested in Big Data Analytics? Online Retailing? Strategic Digital Marketing? Innovation Procurement? For these and much more visit our new Executive Education portfolio at www.msm-executive-education.nl/home
