Company Succession, MBA 

Centre for Academic Further Education

Learning to successfully take over and continue to run a company

"Without an MBA, I certainly wouldn't be a managing director today. The increasingly commercial orientation of my position in the company at the time demanded a more in-depth intensive education in order to do justice to the increased leadership and management responsibility for the company and its employees."

 
Josef Behammer, CEO of b-plus automotive GmbH
