MASTER IN BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT: THEORY IN PRACTICE
LIVE PROJECTS
The Master in Business and Management (MBM) attracts students with various backgrounds from all over the world. It is angled from a business development perspective, which means that focus is about developing a firm’s competitive position, its processes, people and products, its networks and resources. Business development mixes theory and practice and includes areas such as market, strategy and leadership to be managed in order to succeed.
WE ARE NOW LOOKING FOR COMPANIES TO TAKE ON LIVE PROJECTS
The arrangement that we plan for is that students work in groups at a company to carry out their live projects on five or six Wednesdays in each study period. Other days the students are on site at SSE, with teaching, seminars, and working with individual and group related tasks.
VALUE FOR THE COMPANY
• Companies re- ceive a relevant analysis that can add new perspec- tives to business

EXPECTATIONS ON THE COMPANY
