Getting on level terms before taking a step up

Many people who want to move into mid- or senior-level management jobs are increasingly finding that they have to compete with candidates who have master’s degrees.

To enable them to compete on level terms, the MBA offered by RDI Management Learning, in collaboration with England’s Anglia Ruskin University, is designed to equip managers with the knowledge and skills they need to work effectively at a strategic level in their organisations.
The programme teaches students essential modern management skills and helps them to develop an enterprising spirit grounded on solid business practices.

“We aim to provide students with analytical and decision-making capabilities in order to face different kinds of new challenges resulting from rapid changes in today’s growing business environment,” says Simon De-Lay, lead academic adviser at RDI.

“Students will study tools and techniques that will help them develop and manage products and services that will be competitive internationally.”

The programme consists of eight modules that give students a comprehensive overview of business management.

“The programme caters for students from a wide range of industries, including finance, retail, trading and manufacturing, and from a range of organisations from large to small. There are also modules which will help entrepreneurs who are just starting out that focus on areas such as quality management and financial management, to equip entrepreneurs with the sets of skills they need to make a business idea work,” De-Lay says.

“Modules in human resources management help students become more effective people managers, and the module on marketing management inspires students to investigate the role and function of marketing within the context of changing markets and increasing international competition.”
