Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: 'MBA in Europa – Die Mischung macht's'
Published 3 November 2009
Dr Joern Meissner, Lecturer in the Department of Management Science and originator of the popular MBA courses Advanced Decision Models, Supply Chain Management and Revenue Management, has written an editorial for the MBA supplement of one of Germany's leading daily newspapers, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ).
In particular, he discusses which characteristics a successful MBA student needs to have. He argues that good quantitative skills are essential for a manager, but alone are not enough. Social skills and teamwork are mandatory supplements for long-term success and have often been neglected in business school education. He proceeds then to discuss Lancaster's leadership role in integrating these aspects into the current MBA curriculum.
