First, it depends first on the number of participants. Second, it depends on the different core themes of the two options: in open programs, participants learn management themes from the perspective of different industries and countries. Case studies provide rich examples from practice. Participants profit from the wide variety of other participants' experiences in many industries and areas and can also profit from networking. In company-specific programs, participants work toward a clearly defined strategic goal and learn from profound discussion of questions relevant to their company. Group and project work is bolstered by international, multicultural team building.

German and English are the standard languages for company-specific programs. Programs are also available in French, Italian and Spanish. Further languages are available on request.
