Welcome to GLOBAL Business School!

We understand that you are being asked to take what is probably the most important decision of your life. When choosing a university, deciding which area to specialize in is not an easy task. The purpose of the following text is to provide you with all the necessary information about the Business Administration and Economics Department. Please read it carefully. It will hopefully provide answers to most of your questions.

In our website you will find information about the objectives of the Department, our teaching methods, our research achievements, and the course structures. Above all you can find information regarding our high caliber teaching staff and about the excellent career prospects of our students.

However, I believe that the most important achievement is the personal contact with our students. This personal contact is a basic principle of our Department. Through the lectures, advisory sessions, projects and other educational or social activities we have established an on-going process of transferring our “know-how” to our students. In other words we have created an educational environment, which helps students to achieve their personal goals in their undergraduate or postgraduate studies, as well as in their professional career.

My hope is that the internationally respected School of Business will contribute to your personal development as well as to your development as a future member of the business community.

My colleagues and I will be happy to meet you and your family to discuss both your studies in Business at GLOBAL and your future education and career.

Why Study Business & Management?

Management jobs are typically complex and require a range of different skills. Certainly it is crucial that managers are able to communicate with, motivate and develop their staff successfully because human beings are quite literally an organisation’s most important resource.

Managers may also be charged with designing and overseeing production or service delivery systems, ensuring that organisational processes are efficient, effective and produce goods or services of the highest quality possible. They may have responsibility for the organisation’s relationship with its market, and be called upon to identify the consumers of its goods and services, the price at which these goods and services should be sold and the ways in which they should be promoted. An understanding of the workings of the economy is also of value to managers so that they are able to formulate strategy for the organisation’s future.

Quantitative ability in terms of producing or interpreting accounts, running budgets, making investment decisions and monitoring headcount is also important for managerial work. A grasp of the relevant legislation also helps managers to ensure that their organisation is always functioning well within legal limits.

Finally, it is almost a truism that change is the only certainty in a global and highly competitive economy where developments in information technology have arguably rendered geographical distance irrelevant, so sensitivity to the environment and the ability to manage change are also key competencies in the managerial portfolio.

The management courses offered at GLOBAL aim to equip students with an in-depth understanding of the various aspects of managing organisations in the context of a new millennium, so as to better prepare them for careers in management. Indeed staff at GLOBAL are particularly well suited for this task, having specific and considerable expertise in the management of change and globalisation.

Although there are no easy answers in management jobs, our objective is to develop students so that they are capable of analysing and deciding how to deal with complicated organisational situations. Our educational philosophy therefore focuses on encouraging students to develop a questioning stance aspect of their learning, as we consider reflexivity to be one of the most essential skills a manager can possess. Our teaching also emphasises the ethics of managing, balance between the bottom line and corporate social responsibility in terms diversity management and non-discriminatory decision-making, relations with the local community and the wider society and environmental concerns.
