Misson Statement Munich Business School

Successful managers possess a strong foundation of basic knowledge and extensive international experience. They are strong, responsible figures and act respectively toward their fellow man. They think and negotiate in an entrepreneurial way and make their decisions with conscience knowledge of their place in the community. These beliefs are the basis of our practice. The following mission statement is a binding framework for our shared ideals and goals.

1. Our Goals

Munich Business School is one of the leading internationally recognized business schools in the German-speaking area. We offer our students a holistic education to become specialized and personable managers who are responsible for their business and community issues. An essential basis for this is provided through the broad based education in business management. The students also widen their financial knowledge through doing application-orientated research.

In this way, Munich Business School creates an environment in which learning, research, and personal development as well as public spirited actions are encouraged in many different contexts. The active participants in this procedure are the students, professors, lecturers, companies, international partner universities, alumni and the university’s administration. Top quality training and research is assured through this close and personal contact between all participants.

2. Our Concept

The central elements of Munich Business School’s academic programs are:

  • Business Knowledge: Munich Business School’s academic program is aimed at providing a broadly based and analytically sound business education. This knowledge forms the foundation for assuming responsible management positions later in the student’s career.
  • Practically Oriented Studies: A constant reference to entrepreneurial practices is a central theme in academic studies. The faculty conveys the course material based on authentic company business procedures. The close relationship between academic studies and practical work in companies deepens the understanding of company practices. This not only facilitates the entry into professional life, but also provides a distinct advantage in the area of know-how.
  • International Experience: Knowing the cultural peculiarities of different countries and possessing a high degree of foreign language competency are essential in today’s international environment. Instruction in foreign languages, the study of foreign cultures and, most of all, residence in foreign countries, prepares students for a professional career in European as well as in non-European countries.
  • General Knowledge: A broad general education is the essential prerequisite for understanding a complex environment and successful professional development. Thus, technical, sociological, and cultural components are integrated with intensive language training as well as an additional focal point of the school’s educational concept. Personality Development: In order to be successful at an international level, managers of today need a strong personality which enables them to employ their abilities consciously and purposefully. Therefore, personality training – a program in which the students’ personal abilities are developed and responsible behavior and thinking are promoted – has become a central pillar in our curriculum.
