International The International Executive Program is designed for (future) international operating entrepreneurs, professionals and managers who would like to master the various aspects of international business in a compact way. The program is aligned with the current era of globalisation and further intensifying competition. Currently we are facing a shift from an industry economy to a network economy. The network economy requires efficient business formulas for modernisation, innovation and international entrepreneurship. Co-creation is the key formula for innovation. Competences International To respond to these developments, organisations need professionals and managers who are able to think "out of the box ', see opportunities and have the capabilities to materialise these opportunities. They need skills for international entrepreneurship and abilities to analyse the different aspects of international business operations in an integrated way. They must be able to think and act on the basis of new business formulas, new revenue generation models, innovations in partnership with other (foreign) companies, risk analysis and operate as connector and networker. The International Executive Program is designed to meet these needs.
Structure & Didactics The program is designed and delivered at EQF 7 level (EU Qualifications Framework, master level) and is based on the five Dublin descriptors (EU criteria for Higher Education).
