Business Leaders Program

Management course in two parts for executives without formal education in business administration.

CONCEPT

The St. Gallen Business Administration Course imparts the current business and management knowledge that is a prerequisite for any successful management and staff activity in today's business world.

For people who have not yet completed a higher education or further training in business administration.

In two block seminars, speakers from theoretical and practical fields impart contents of relevant business management disciplines in a profound and comprehensive form. Based on practical examples, participants learn about principles, methods, and instruments that significantly influence the success of a company. In addition to knowledge transfer, the seminar also focuses on the practical implementation of what has been learned: The subject matter is therefore not only lectured, but developed through group works, case studies, and projects.

The course is based on the structure and content of the St. Gallen Management Model and the system's theoretic approach to business administration. All speakers "speak the same language" and present their field of expertise from a holistic standpoint.

Special attention is also given to topics that have only recently become part of business administration practice.
