General Management Program

The General Management Program is split into three courses. It is for business unit heads and business segment managers with result responsibility, heads of staff functions and project managers, engineers, technicians, lawyers, business administrators and everyone designated for one of these positions.

Concept

Integrated management competence is mandatory for managers with responsibility for results, regardless of their place in the hierarchy: single organizational units, selfreporting teams, profit centers, cost centers, product and market segments, business units or business segments. All these managers have entrepreneurial responsibility of some kind and become “intrapreneurs,” entrepreneurs inside their organizations.

The integrated management approach provided by this General Management Program offers the methodical knowledge required to succeed as a leader of any area of responsibility. Consequently, this program also serves managers who wish to update and broaden their managerial knowledge and management competencies.

After graduating from the General Management Program, participants

  • know most recent business administration knowledge
  • have an in-depth understanding of the most important concepts of integrated management and
  • can apply methods and tools for implementation in their personal business environment.
