A thorough education in all functional areas of business is crucial for future managers. However, globalization calls for a broader management education appropriate to the requirements of working in an international environment.

Global competition forces businesses to adapt rapidly to technological change and to dynamic customer demands. Flexibility, responsiveness, and understanding of different cultural features are key factors for success.

For this reason, employees need to be able to converse fluently and lead negotiations in English and at least one additional foreign language. They also have to develop an extraordinary sensitivity for cultural differences. Coping with diverse issues in a flexible manner and using teamwork is vital for success. Last but not least, young managers need to familiarize themselves with information technology and communication technology and learn to select from the multitude of information available to them.

Students gain all of these skills during their semesters abroad, from their internships, and in numerous practical classes.
