Lancaster Global MBA (Jordan)
The Global MBA is a two-year part-time programme for experienced managers. Its highly practical and action-oriented approach combines intensive modular input with organisational projects and close support. The programme is structured around a series of 3 and 4 day intensive workshops followed by a period of study, application and completion of assessments. Modules run approximately every 8 weeks. This approach allows participants to become immersed within, and gain a greater understanding of, the key ideas of each of the core modules.
Given the complexity of management and managing, the Lancaster Global MBA focuses on developing managers and leaders who understand the complexity of organisational and business environments, who are able to manage and lead effectively within this complexity and who are capable of operating across functional boundaries and at a strategic level. The programme aim is to provide a comprehensive grounding in general management theory focusing particularly on the relationship between theory and practice, the application of theory to organisational situations and the development of a strategic perspective when analysing situations and developing solutions. In addition to developing functional and strategic knowledge we aim to develop greater self-knowledge, and a more reflective perspective on the process of management and leadership.
The programme’s mission is to produce managers and leaders who are knowledgeable about business, at ease with complexity and purposeful in action. In doing this we aim to provide a fresh approach to learning, which focuses both on academic theory and the application of that theory to practice, and which also facilitates learning through the adoption of a reflective and questioning approach.
At its core, the Lancaster Global MBA aims to:
-
Develop participants who are knowledgeable about business, at ease with complexity, and purposeful in action
-
Facilitate knowledge acquisition and understanding of the functions of business and organising and their inter-relationships
-
build confidence in learning and competence in transferring this learning to organisations
-
develop capabilities in:
structuring, analysing and critically exploring organisational and managerial issues and in so doing develop a desire for life-long learning the application of theory to practice challenging and questioning pre-conceived ideas and practices developing new ways of thinking and acting when dealing with complex issues.
-
develop more effective and well-rounded business professionals who are capable of contributing effectively at a strategic level in a variety of positions and across functional boundaries.
