This department develops and instills students with the capabilities of a successful business manager. Understanding the elements of a business and how they work together as a cohesive unit is key for a manager to lead, develop and innovate a business successfully.

Faculty from a wide range of disciplines (leadership development, knowledge management, organizational behaviour and learning, business rhetoric, strategic human resources development, and business consulting), experiences (private and public sector, not-for-profit, business incubators) and backgrounds (Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin-America and North-America) give students a thorough education in each of their courses.
