New Executive MBA in Public & Private
The new MBA course in the Public & Private business sectors will begin in September 2011. This program, which is modular in structure, aims to close the gap between the cultures of the public and private sectors. The course is intended for participants from the private sector, the government and 'hybrid organizations' such as hospitals, housing corporations and NGOs. Such organizations are often subject to conflicting values (task-oriented versus market-oriented approaches). This program is drawn up after thorough consultation with important players in the Government and the market. Several hundred interested parties also contribute to the program's design phase making this program a product of co-creation. www.nyenrode.nl/mbapp (in Dutch)
