  • Overview of All Our Master Exchange Destinations
    OVERVIEW OF ALL OUR MASTER EXCHANGE DESTINATIONS Explanation to the overview: Language requirements partner schools Language requirements at each partner school differ and are subject to change. If you want to be sure at any time, at all partner schools, valid TOEFL with scores: 100 (Internet based), 600 (Paper) or 250 (Computer) or IELTS, minimum score 6.5 - 7.0, are accepted. Always bear in mind that if you are not selected for your first preference, the language requirements for your second or third preference apply At all times, a proof of your language skills is needed at the time of selection (mid-January 2020). For Spanish, you may have lower score at the time of selection (minimum of B1), but at the time of exchange, the score should be at least B2. See also the section 'Language Skills' on the website for more information. Minimum GPA Bachelor Programme All our partner schools maintain a minimum Bachelor GPA for admission into their exchange programes Programme level At most partner schools you will participate in master programmes. However, when master programmes are not offered at the partner school, RSM has an exchange agreement with this particular school on an equal level, meaning you will either participate in senior (4th/5th) bachelor courses or in MBA programmes (mostly in N-America and Asia). For the latter, working experience of at least one year (internships, part-time (management) jobs, own company or business/consultancy projects, is needed. Programme level The available (estimated) number of slots are subject to change, since negotiations with partner schools continue until February 2020.

  • Speed of Execution in Leadership Shake-Ups
    Speed of execution in leadership shake-ups is the secret to M&A success M&A deals have a greater chance of success if acquirers move quickly to install a new leadership team at the target firm, a study shows. Research by Cass Business School found higher rates of deal success among acquirers which rapidly appointed a top team at the target while retaining a large proportion of the operational staff. The findings come from a report by Cass’s M&A Research Centre which reveals a series of fresh insights into improving returns from M&A deals. The study examined a sample of 70 large transactions completed by US and UK acquirers between 2007 and 2011, comparing those which were successful in creating shareholder value with a matched sample of those where shareholder value was destroyed. The findings showed that: Companies which retained operational staff boosted their success rate. Successful deals posted 63 per cent retention rates for operational and business personnel, while in the failed deals group the rate was 46 per cent six months after completion. Successful acquirers were quicker to remove and replace the senior executive team. In the successful group, only 38 per cent of CEOs and 19 per cent of CFOs remained in post six months after completion, compared to 44 per cent and 38 per cent respectively in the failed group. Companies with a greater focus on HR – measured by the existence of an HR committee at board level – are more successful acquirers. There were more than twice the number of HR- specific committees in the successful deal group than in the failure group.

  • King's Business School
    ‘Ready for the future as it King’s Business School arrives’ Helping individuals and organisations use the crisis as a catalyst for positive change Programme objectives ‘Ready for the future as it arrives’ as a way of future-proofing organisations to use the recent crises as a catalyst for positive change. This one day programme will: ➢ Allow individuals to make sense of the coronavirus crisis for themselves; to give them the time and space to think about the impact the crisis had upon them both personally and professionally; articulate and share their stories with their colleagues in a professionally facilitated environment ➢ reflect on what personally they would have done differently with hindsight ➢ articulate what they believe their organisation could have done differently with hindsight ➢ create some clear personal & organisational recommendations around what to do differently ➢ develop some clear personal & organisational recommendations to prepare for future uncertainty ➢ recognise the physiological and psychological impact of stress; practise some personal resilience exercises to transform negative energy to positive energy At King’s we believe this is a powerful mechanism to help individuals and organisations recognise the impact of the crisis, prepare more effectively for future uncertainty and so be able to perform now. This is also an excellent opportunity for Leadership Teams to get first-hand, honest feedback on what is going on across their organisation and what they could do to prepare more effectively. 2 KING’S BUSINESS SCHOOL | kcl.ac.uk/business The Process The programme is an inter-disciplinary one day engagement delivered for Leaders, Managers & Professionals. The design of the one day commitment is as follows: ➢ Delivery of 2 x 3-hour facilitated workshops; workshops led by experienced senior facilitators with support from a member of the Organisation’s Executive.

  • University of Strathclyde February 2014 Executive Summary
    Review of UK Transnational Education in the United Arab Emirates: University of Strathclyde February 2014 Executive summary The University of Strathclyde (the University) has run its Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme in Dubai since 1995 and in Abu Dhabi since 2005. Within the Strathclyde Business School the MBA programme is run on an effective global basis in the UK and nine local centres, including two in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Around 25 to 30 students are recruited twice a year in each centre for the programme, which can be completed in two years. In the UAE, the University has federal accreditation from the Commission for Academic Accreditation, which allows it to operate outside the free trade zones. It has a partnership with the Higher Colleges of Technology, the largest federal higher education institute in the UAE, which provides facilities and some further support but is not involved in recruiting students or delivering learning. The partnership is a variant of the University's normal contract with a local partner and has provided a basis for delivery of the MBA for many years. While three master's programmes have been accredited in addition to the MBA, these have not attracted sufficient students to be viable. Core teaching is done by the University faculty who work globally and is delivered through intensive seminars and workshops, typically in two-day blocks. Global coordinators based in the UK and UAE manage the curriculum and teaching of subject areas. This is supported by local counsellors in each subject area who run tutorials and complete first-marking of student assessments.
