the Department bi-annually and rides on the back of ongoing collaboration and a
long-standing alliance between the Department of Management at the University of Malta
and the Department of Business and Economics at Neu-Ulm University.
Over the 2 week period, German MBA participants, are
also engaged on an extended strategy live case study
involving meetings, analysis and direct interaction with
the top-management team of a local collaborating organisation – addressing a current
strategic challenge and presenting their strategic overview,
findings and reasoned recommendations to the board.
