The Master of Business Administration (MBA) provides advanced training in business management within the context of a Christian framework.
Adapting to rapidly changing business environments calls for a sophisticated set of skills and abilities from leaders and managers. All organisations, including faith-based and not-for-profit, require effective leaders who understand the needs of their organisations.
The MBA recognises that changing environments and new challenges require innovative approaches informed by current philosophies and frameworks for action.While traditional ways of thinking and acting in leadership may have worked well in the past, now there is a need for leadership to project a vision, plan strategically and motivate more effectively. The quest for excellence and the demand for flexibility and rapid response to changing environments is essential for the success of organisations and companies.
