Right Toolbox For Modern Leaders MBA students at the international week at Global Strategy, Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Strategic singapore management university in 2013 Marketing or Financial & Managerial Accounting are just some of the many topics covered in the Business & Ma- nagement Knowledge section. At the core of the education concept at MBS lies the imparting of knowledge on current business theory and practice by the use of modern teaching methods as well as the continuous transfer to real-world applications. Besides business knowledge, the section of Executive & Leadership Skills is the second pillar of the MBA GM+ program at MBS. This covers areas such as Social Competence (communicating and dealing with others, getting ideas across, recognizing and handling conflicts) and Self Competence (recognizing one’s own strengths or weaknesses and dealing with them accordingly). Only by including both ‘hard’ knowledge and ‘soft’ skills into its curriculum, the MBA GM+ provides students with a comprehensive toolbox that every modern leader should possess.
