KING’S BUSINESS SCHOOL LAUNCHES NEW EMBA
This September, King’s Business School will launch a new EMBA with an emphasis on how businesses can address grand challenges like climate change via multi-disciplinary solutions. Applications are now open.
EMBA candidates will learn from leading King’s researchers from areas as diverse as life sciences and war studies to test their skills and enable them to see business decisions in the context of wider technological and societal change.
“Businesses tell us that to succeed today, you need to combine leadership skills with an awareness of wider social and environmental challenges. We are proud to launch an EMBA that takes addressing these broader challenges as its starting point and recognises the opportunities that creates for businesses that find the best solutions to them. It is very much in the King’s tradition of working to make the world a better place. ” says Stephen Bach, executive dean.
In May, King’s achieved joint AMBA-BGA accreditation, earning the so-called ‘triple-crown’ accreditation held by fewer than 1% of the world’s business schools. In addition to the AMBA accreditation, King’s Business School is also accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the European Foundation for Management Development’s Quality Improvement System, EQUIS.

MANNHEIM BUSINESS SCHOOL LAUNCHES NEW FEMALE LEADERSHIP ACCELERATOR
Mannheim Business School has launched a new six-month part-time program designed to help more women fulfill their career aspirations by reaching leadership positions. The Female Leadership Accelerator also aims to support women re-entering the workforce after a phase of care work, or wanting to gain a foothold in the German labor market.
Four two-day modules, along with online content and workshops, provide valuable insight on leadership strategies, digital and sustainable transformation, value-based management, financial strategy, and customer orientation.
“The structure of the classroom modules on four Fridays and Saturdays over a period of six months means there are only four working days for the course, which is convenient for managers with busy schedules, and even mothers with small children are not faced with insurmountable childcare challenges,” says Jens Wüstemann, president of Mannheim Business School.
