Our Multi-Competence Team Concept Diversity as Our Paradigm Mannheim MBA participants represent the core values of the MBA program with regard to diversity of work experience, geographical background and a broad range of educational experience. The statistics for an average Mannheim MBA class will give you an impression of the community you will join. Average Age Average Work Experience Gender 29 years 5 years 32% 68% One essential element of the MBA program is the team experience. Therefore, the Multi-Competence Team (MCT) concept is applied in all Mannheim Business School programs. As the concept hinges on two basic tenets for an ideal learning experience diversity and continuity participants are assigned to heterogeneous teams at the beginning of their MBA experience. The MBA is a time of self-exploration and the MCT will help each participant make the most of this opportunity! The Multi-Competence Teams stay together for the duration of the program and work together on their Social Sustainability as well as their Business Master Project. This forms a major part of the learning process, as project management, intercultural competence and leadership skills are of utmost importance to successfully complete the joint project.

Beyond Hard Skills The Social Project Social Responsibility at the Core Doing your MBA at Mannheim Business School involves far more than taking classes in Financial Accounting, Corporate Finance or Supply Chain Management. Business ethics and social responsibility have always been core elements of our school s educational concept. That is why the Social Sustainability Project is an integral and mandatory part of the Mannheim MBA curriculum. Innovative Projects The project should make a positive contribution to society on some level. However, it is up to your individual team to define the scope of your project, as it may pursue any number of goals: educational, promotional, humanitarian or social. The Social Project puts your project management abilities to the test and allows you to make a difference in the community. Past projects range from art workshops for children treated at University Hospital Mannheim over introductory internet classes for senior citizens to a Charity Concert. 15

The Land of Entrepreneurs and Inventors Germany is not only the land of poets and philosophers, it is also the home of a highly efficient and productive economy. With a population of 82 million, Germany is the largest and most important market in the European Union (EU) and one of the four largest economies in the world. Given its high focus on exports, there is scarcely any other country that is as intertwined with the world economy and interested in open markets as Germany. Its share of total world trade is approximately nine percent. More than a thousand companies in Germany hold at least a top three position in the world, which is more than any other comparable economy has to offer. It is not only the major corporations such as Siemens, Volkswagen, Daimler, Adidas, Allianz, SAP and BASF that shape the German business environment, but also tens of thousands of small and medium-sized internationally oriented enterprises. According to the European Scoreboard, Germany is one of the global innovation leaders and European champion with by far the most patent applications of all European countries. Many German inventions, such as printed books, cars, computers, chip cards and the mp3-format, have changed the world, and Germany s inventive spirit is as strong as ever: The innovative capability of German business proved to be the driving force in recovering from the recent economic crisis. Due to this inventive spirit, Germany continues to be one of the leading nations in several promising technologies. These include biotechnology, nanotechnology, computer science and other high-tech fields. Furthermore, the leading banking sector in continental Europe is concentrated in Frankfurt/Main where the European Central Bank (ECB), the German Central Bank (Bundesbank) and Deutsche Börse, the national stock exchange, are all headquartered. In the Heart of German Business 50% of Germany s top 500 companies are located within 250 kilometers of Mannheim. 20

Living in Mannheim At its core, the Mannheim experience is built around an intense team experience. There are countless opportunities to get involved in student-led activities outside the classroom, such as sports activities, German language courses, trips to museums and exhibitions as well as student clubs and social events like karaoke nights, wine-tasting or student parties. They are a chance to have fun, relax and make friends for life. As our alumni agree: the MBA program is a bonding experience enabling you to build a close-knit network of friendships that last a lifetime. Situated at the confluence of the Rhine and Neckar rivers in one of the sunniest regions of Germany, Mannheim offers numerous possibilities to spend your leisure time: having a cup of coffee in the courtyard of the castle, relaxing in the beautiful Luisenpark, cycling on the banks of the Neckar river, strolling through the busy shopping streets with their cafés and bars or attending cultural highlights on the culture mile with its museums, galleries, concert hall, opera, ballet and theatre. As Mannheim is situated at the heart of Europe, you can easily reach cultural centers in Germany and beyond such as Heidelberg, Frankfurt, Munich, Paris and Strasbourg. Since its foundation as a city, Mannheim has been a special and cosmopolitan place to live in. It stands out among other cities because of the planned chess board arrangement of square blocks in the city center ( Quadrate ). And the open-minded attitude of the citizens of Mannheim allows new arrivals to feel at home after a very short period of time. www.wishyouwerehere.de 21
