Are you fit enough for alternative M&As?

Johannes Gerds

Digital transformation, green energy and e-mobility illustrate new strategic challenges that many business leaders face today. According to recent market surveys, one of two companies plans for Joint Ventures or Alliances to master these challenges. However, most deal-makers are not fit enough for alternative M&As. That is because, since globalisation in the 1990s, Joint Ventures and Alliances have been primarily used only in a small number of specific industries.

Rahul Jain

Opting for a Master in Management degree seemed like a natural progression for me. Despite possessing strong analytical skills that I cultivated through my engineering background, I recognised the need to enhance my soft skills and gain a comprehensive understanding of financial and managerial concepts.

What makes a good business problem?

Francesca Palomo-Picache

Many startups fail because they focus too much on creating a product that seems profitable instead of first identifying whether a real problem exists. We’ve seen this happen a lot: founders build an app, promote it with fancy keywords like “AI-powered” and “revolutionary”, and then ultimately fail because people don’t need the app in the first place. To ensure your startup's success, you must prioritise identifying a significant problem to solve. Here are some concepts that could help you with this.

In the fast-evolving domain of retail, the adage "location, locality, area" has never lost its significance. However, determining the optimal spot for a new retail outlet involves a complex interplay of data analysis, artificial intelligence, and a deep understanding of urban geography.

From Manila to Mainhattan: My Executive MBA journey

Mary Joy Mendiola

The decision to join Frankfurt School’s Executive MBA (EMBA) programme wasn't made in isolation. Conversations with EMBA alumni really showed me what's possible.

Wie der Fachwirt in Digitalisierung mir den Weg zum Bachelor-Studium ebnete

Sengül Özdemir

Angesichts meiner beruflichen Laufbahn hätte es nahegelegen, mit einer klassischen Weiterbildung wie dem Bankfachwirt zu beginnen und darauf aufzubauen.

It represents a transformative journey that shapes you into a versatile, forward-thinking leader capable of making a significant impact in your field. By pushing the boundaries of your capabilities and expanding your network, an MBA opens doors to opportunities you might never have imagined.
