Course summary

This program is an advanced general management degree that offers some additional specialisations. This program is designed for early career managers and above. The vision of the Griffith International MBA program is to develop forward thinking and responsible leaders that are internationally aware. The following are the learning goals: enhance the ability to effectively evaluate and apply management theories and concepts; develop leadership and strategic capabilities in a local and global context; develop a high level of effective communication in an organisational environment; advance learning and adoption of sustainable practices in an international context; develop the capacity to manage multi-stakeholder relationships and develop a higher level of knowledge in a specialised area. Success in the finance industry requires an understanding of how to analyse specific investment opportunities and manage a portfolio of investments on a risk-adjusted basis. The industry is increasingly concerned with corporate social responsibility and managing ethical investments. The Finance specialisation increases the competency of managers to meet these concerns by supplementing the broad MBA core courses with specialised courses of relevance to the finance sector.
