“A wonderful opportunity to get to know a group of people from different businesses”

26 February 2016

The Gothenburg Executive MBA participants have diverse backgrounds and work in different business sectors. The common denominator is that they are managers, often with global roles in companies such as AstraZeneca, Husqvarna, Gunnebo, Stena and Volvo. The Gothenburg Executive MBA programme, which runs part-time over two years, focuses on emerging markets in Asia and aims to strengthen the participants’ skills on how to do business in countries like China, Korea, India and Japan.

After almost two years of studies the participants of the Gothenburg Executive MBA-programme 2013-2015 graduated on June 15th, 2015. This is how Executive MBA participant Maria Lagerström Fermér summarized her participation in the programme.

 “The past 21 months has been an interesting journey with a lot of new knowledge, insights and experiences that have made me well equipped to take on future work related as well as personal challenges and opportunities. It has also been great fun and a wonderful opportunity to get to know a group of people from different businesses, as well as with different backgrounds and experiences.”
