WHAT IS THIS COURSE ABOUT?

This intensive four day course covers the key areas of an MBA and applies these MBA tools and concepts to the Bio/ Pharmaceutical industry, providing you with a firm foundation of the essential MBA thinking and terminology.

Four modules will be covered in just four days of workshops to enhance the value of the course and minimise your time away from the office. There is also optional pre and post-work set by the tutors (at no extra cost).

This course will help you to translate your learning into new behaviours and improvements in your capability and performance, and this will be of excellent value to you and your oganisation.

This interactive course will work through live issues impacting on the industry and on participants directly. The individual and group exercises will focus mainly on Bio/ Pharmaceutical case studies and also on delegates’ own issues. The bio/pharma case studies will also help to give the ‘feel’ of a full MBA.
