Cohort starting in April 2012 will visit New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business (NYU Stern)

Program participants gain business exposure in three of the world’s most important economic regions – Europe, North America and Asia

Mannheim Business School (Germany) and ESSEC Business School (France) have enriched the curriculum of their joint part-time Executive MBA program with yet another highly attractive element: As of 2012, a residency at a renowned business school in the U.S. forms an integral part of the program. The first to benefit from the innovation will be the members of the next ESSEC & MANNHEIM Weekend Executive MBA class, who will start their program in April 2012 and can look forward to spending a week at NYU Stern. Professor Holger Mueller, the Bank and Financial Analysts Faculty Fellow and a Professor of Finance at NYU Stern, will serve as the Academic Director for this exciting residency. Professor Mueller received his Habilitation in Economics from the University of Mannheim and has been a professor at NYU Stern since 2001. "This newly introduced U.S. residency makes the ESSEC & MANNHEIM Executive MBA even more attractive," says Professor Dr. Jens Wüstemann, President of Mannheim Business School. "Our participants now have the opportunity to gain direct business exposure in three of the most important economic regions in the world – Europe, North America and Asia." While the majority of courses take place in Mannheim and Paris, the ESSEC & MANNHEIM Executive MBA also includes a ten-day stay in Singapore and Shanghai in addition to the newly introduced U.S. residency. "In effect, we now have one of the most international Executive MBA programs in the world," says Professor Dr. Daniel Veit, Academic Director of the ESSEC & MANNHEIM Weekend Executive MBA. Designed for senior executives with at least eight years of professional experience, it is already considered among the best globally in terms “international course experience”, according to the Financial Times. In fact, the ESSEC & MANNHEIM Executive MBA currently holds 11th place worldwide in that category in their Global Executive MBA Ranking (October 2011).]]> MBS Homepage Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:00:00 +0100 http://www.mannheim-business-school.com/news-events/news/date/2011/12/16/article/information-session-essec-mannheim-executive-mba.html Next information session will take place on Saturday, February 25, at 11.00 am (general...

Association of MBAs (AMBA) presents entrepreneurship award to three alumni of the ESSEC & MANNHEIM Executive MBA for recently-founded company Treasury Intelligence Solutions that was developed as part of the program

Award recognizes Mannheim's pervasive entrepreneurial spirit and firm commitment to excellence, according to MBS president Jens Wüstemann

Based on their "Entrepreneurial Project", which is an integral part of the ESSEC & MANNHEIM Executive MBA and requires students to develop a real life business case, MBS alumni Erol Bozak, Wolfgang Kalthoff and Jörg Wiemer founded their own company shortly upon graduation in 2009. Treasury Intelligence Solutions (TIS), as they called the company, offers innovative and easy to use risk and compliance solutions in the areas of bank account and cash management. Since its inception, the company has gone from strength to strength: Earlier this year the TIS executive team announced a € 2.5 million investment into the company by Munich-based venture capital firm Target Partners as well as a cooperative sales partnership with Deutsche Bank AG. In recognition of their achievements, the three Mannheim entrepreneurs were the first to receive the international Entrepreneurial Venture Award, launched this year by the Association of MBAs (AMBA), one of the three leading international associations for accredited business schools. The winners were announced at the annual Gala dinner of the association, which was held at prestigious Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London, on October 19, 2011. The aim of TIS is to provide secure and efficient payment solutions for businesses. "All business-critical processes related to payment transactions, cash balances, payment statuses and bank account responsibilities are managed in a single, audit-proof application", explains Wiemer who holds the position of CEO at TIS. "The solution is sold in the Software as a Service (SaaS) model and is easy to implement - without the need for costly, resource-intensive project planning, thereby delivering quick time to value for customers." The Entrepreneurial Project is a key element of the ESSEC & MANNHEIM Executive MBA program and designed to promote innovation and an entrepreneurial mindset. Students are challenged to transform their ideas into concrete business plans and to apply the cross-disciplinary knowledge they acquire in the course of their program. "Through the Entrepreneurial Project, students give proof positive that they not only understand business imperatives, but are able to act upon them as well", says Professor Dr. Jens Wüstemann, President of Mannheim Business School. Thus it should come as no surprise that a significant number of graduates found their own company upon graduation – and do so rather successfully, as the example of TIS shows.]]> E&M Homepage MBS Homepage Fri, 21 Oct 2011 13:32:00 +0200 http://www.mannheim-business-school.com/news-events/news/date/2011/08/04/article/xing-ranking-most-german-top-executives-are-mannheim-graduates.html Graduates of the University of Mannheim are most likely to get into top management positions in...

Mannheim Business School and the School of Economics and Management of Tongji University in Shanghai jointly launch a double degree Executive MBA program

Strong demand due to innovative program concept

Program allows a high degree of flexibility: it is possible to start the program with each one of the modules

With today's official opening ceremony in Shanghai, the first class of the MANNHEIM & TONGJI Executive MBA started the part-time English-language MBA program which has been jointly created by Mannheim Business School (MBS) and Tongji University in Shanghai. Both institutions have long been leading in the field of management education on their respective continents and are regarded as placing a strong emphasis on research. Furthermore, both are already well established in the international MBA market with similar program offerings. Professor Dr. Huo Jia-Zhen, Dean of TONGJI-SEM, emphasizes, "With the MANNHEIM & TONGJI Executive MBA, two renowned institutions have created a top level Executive MBA program with a strong Sino-German focus, targeted at senior executives with experience in Asia and Europe." And Professor Wüstemann, President of Mannheim Business School notes, "The intensive and ever-increasing trade relations between Asia and Europe as well as specifically between China and Germany are an ideal basis for the new program. Nevertheless, the high demand has even exceeded our expectations." Jointly with Professor Huo, Professor Wüstemann officially opened the program today in the presence of the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany in China, Dr. Michael Schaefer, and the president of Tongji University, Professor Dr. Pei Gang. Dr. Schaefer is also a member of the program's Advisory Board which consists of 19 high-ranking personalities from politics and the economic sector of both countries. With its highly flexible structure and unique content, the MANNHEIM & TONGJI EMBA program will give executives from around the world the skills and tools they need for positions in international top management. The participants must complete six course modules which last nine to eleven days: three in Mannheim and three in Shanghai. It is possible to complete the double degree program within one and a half years; however, students are free to take breaks or to only take individual courses within a module. "The essential point is that students complete all course and other academic requirements within five years," Professor Wüstemann explains. Moreover, it will be possible to register for individual courses and modules without pursuing a degree. "This will enable all participants to build up a unique personal network, whether they are aiming at an MBA degree or whether their goal is rather to broaden their knowledge of a specific subject area," says Professor Huo. The Executive MBA program covers all essential general management areas with a strong focus on Sino-German business topics. Curriculum requirements include training in key qualifications essential to a leadership position, guest lectures, company visits, and excursions. "Such elements provide the students with an in-depth insight into the corporate world, as well as enhancing their knowledge of Asian and European cultures," underlines Professor Wüstemann. Admission requirements for the MANNHEIM & TONGJI Executive MBA are: a first academic degree, at least eight years of work experience including leadership experience, international experience, a strong Sino-German affinity, and very good English skills. The tuition fee of the program will be €42,000; introductory fees for a program start in 2011 will be €29,900 and €38,000 for those who will start the program in 2012. It is possible to start the Executive MBA program with each one of the modules. Applications will be accepted throughout the entire year.]]> MBS Other MANNHEIM & TONGJI Mon, 28 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.mannheim-business-school.com/ Learn more about Mannheim Business School and our exciting Executive MBA programs, the ESSEC &...
