Information for employers

Attracting and retaining top-level talent is a key concern for organisations both here in New Zealand and around the globe.

Employers of our MBA students tell us there is no question these individuals add value to the business. Our programme attracts experienced working professionals with significant business records. They are motivated to challenge their thinking, gain new business tools, strengthen their business networks and enhance their decision-making.

We have expertly redesigned our programme to be delivered in an online format, offering even greater flexibility for our MBA students. Now, with online classes delivered twice weekly in the evenings, it is easier than ever for students to fit their study requirements around their professional (and other) commitments.

Employers can expect MBA graduates to*:

• Have a holistic view of all business functions and processes and a strong overview of international business strategy

• Have well-developed interpersonal skills, including the ability to communicate effectively and interact with groups and individuals at all levels

• Apply strategic management skills at a senior level in changing business environments

• Transform organisations through strategic leadership, intellectual rigour and professional ethical values
  
  
• Bring the latest business thinking to an organisation
  
  
• Build specific capabilities related to New Zealand’s unique political, cultural, and legal landscape, which will help local organisations thrive
  
  
• Learn how to leverage international business to scale up our entrepreneurial nation of SMEs
