Experts for the European Utility Industry

   

On Sunday, September 24, the opening ceremony for the third cohort of the part-time Executive MBA in European Utility Management took place. Twelve students from six different European utility companies and four different countries arrived on campus for their first block week. Over two years the executive students will be combining everyday responsibilities in their companies with a demanding and career-oriented program that sets high standards.

[ Sep 25, 2006]  Program director Prof. Dr. Andreas Bausch, Professor of Strategic Management and Controlling, welcomed the third class of Executive MBA students on campus. He emphasized the impact of the master program: “Since the liberalization of the energy market in 1998, there is a continuously increasing need for top-management quality in utility firms. We are fully convinced that the Executive MBA in European Utility Management paves the way for our executive students enhancing their management knowledge and skills and advancing their careers. “

The Executive MBA program in European Utility Management has been developed by IUB in cooperation with high-level executives from the utility industries. It is designed for applicants intending to extend their knowledge and skills towards business administration and management in the context of the utility industries.

The twelve students of the new class are of diverse academic background: economics, engineering, industrial engineering, management, mathematics, and public affairs. During the first block week courses in management, managerial economics as well as a soft skills training session on presentation and moderation take place. The block week will also comprise some social activities to build the team spirit right from the start. The activities will include a vessel trip to Bremen during night-time, a sightseeing tour of Bremen and several guest presentations.
