INTERVIEW ON THE MBA SCHEDULE: "A 60-HOUR WEEK IS MORE THE NORM"
Business creativity, intercultural skills or strategy
- these are just a few of the topics that MBA students
are concerned with. Franka Storzer, program manager at
the Leipzig University of Applied Sciences, explains in
an interview what other challenges await her during her
studies.
Compulsory courses, elective courses,
specializations - what is on the schedule of an MBA
student?
The MBA curriculum covers a wide range of management
areas. It starts with topics like strategy, marketing
and logistics. It continues with leadership-oriented
courses on negotiation techniques or soft skills and
extends to current topics such as social networking and
intercultural awareness. Electives open up topics such
as business creativity, managing public relations,
corporate responsibility or entrepreneurship to
students.
That sounds like a lot of work ...
An MBA student has to be flexible. In addition
to the tasks that result from current and upcoming
courses, company workshops, student advisory projects,
participation in conferences and competitions await
you. In addition, the internship or job search. Many
students also take part in student initiatives. So a
60-hour week is more the norm.
What should MBA students absolutely learn?
The tools of the trade include sound management
knowledge paired with interpersonal, i.e. interpersonal,
skills. This includes, for example, communication, team
and project management, but also negotiation.
In the past, MBA programs were often
criticized for being too practical. Which recipes work
against gray theory?
Practical projects and internships are
particularly helpful. They are firmly anchored in the
curriculum and take place in cooperation with
companies. For example, the participants analyze
specific questions of a company and develop proposals
for solutions.
Practical content within the courses is also provided
by numerous guest lecturers. In many places, they can
bring in concrete experiences from day-to-day business.
But our professors also show the MBA students the
practical experience themselves during company visits or
with guest speakers.
The global challenges are also part of
practice. How are MBA students prepared for this?
Almost every course offers an international
perspective, be it through the wealth of experience of
international participants and visiting professors or
through the processing of case studies by international
companies.
And how important are stays abroad?
We recommend our MBA students to stay
abroad. However, it does not necessarily make sense for
everyone. An international MBA participant is already
abroad. Basically everyone is free to study or work in
another country for a certain time.
Intercultural competence is one thing - at
the moment, the topics ethics and social responsibility
are very important in MBA programs. Do such offers
really make sense?
Yes, I think it's almost indispensable. A course on
corporate responsibility is integrated into our study
program. Issues such as ethics and social responsibility
are also woven into numerous other courses. There we use
the know-how of our ethics professor in a targeted
manner through co-teaching approaches.
