An employer’s perspective on the value of an Executive MBA
What benefits does an Executive MBA offer an organization? In this article, Christa Coenegracht, Managing Director at Neways Technologies, shares her firsthand experience of an employee’s development during the TIAS Executive MBA program. His technical expertise was complemented by a broader business perspective, enhanced strategic thinking, and a more significant contribution to decision-making at the management level.
De TIAS experience of Bas van Vugt
“One of the reasons I chose TIAS is their strong combination of business and society. You can’t lead an organization from a purely business perspective anymore. Especially in roles that increasingly need to look at business through a social lens in the interest of the greater good, this takes a different kind of leadership. How do you achieve success for businesses, both large and small, and operationalize that around major transition themes? These kinds of questions really shine through in the Executive MBA at TIAS.”
