The Department of Management has recently run and concluded the April / May 2016
Edition of HNU Neu-Ulm University’s MBA International Extension Programme. This
intensive 2 week programme of applied management master classes, seminars and
industry visits, is run by 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 HNU.
Over the two week period, the German MBA participants, were 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 review, findings and reasoned
recommendations to the board and management.
During this edition, 6PM plc (6pmsolutions.com) a leader in world class IT health solutions
and active in international markets, was the collaborating partner for the strategy live case
study. The Department of Management takes the opportunity to thank 6PM’s top
management team for their direct and active involvement in this strategy exercise geared
towards creating mutual value and opportunities for critical insight and learning.
Besides, other scheduled industry visits also included Methode Electronics, Baxter and
Farsons.
Accompanied by their Professors, the profile of this edition’s international cohort of
