Mag. Roland Gutmann | accounting for funding e. U.
An understanding of both "worlds" makes the difference in being able to realize oneself as individually as possible. In addition to specialized technical know-how, a basic knowledge of the economic rules of the game is required in order to successfully develop and commercially evaluate one's own strategies.
Univ.Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Leitner | Austrian Institute of Technology
The development and efficient use of new technologies is a key driver of corporate competitiveness. The multiple options require a strategic approach that takes into account market, organizational and social factors. The exchange with other MBA students makes it possible to integrate different perspectives.
