Objectives

Massey graduates apply the skills they develop to capitalize on opportunities, inspire and manage change and drive business in New Zealand forward. Some of the objectives of our programme are to:

• Develop personally
• Update and stay current with business thinking
• Enhance managerial competencies
• Develop critical thinking skills
• Expand career opportunities
• Networking
• Business confidence

• programmes are essentially practical and use theory and research to underpin real time applications.
• class sessions are interactive and utilize a combination of teaching methods including lectures, case studies, experiential exercises and class discussions.
• teaching staff are drawn from: senior academics holding formal appointments within the University and senior professionals from the business community and distinguished visiting scholars from New Zealand and overseas.
• an internship has been added to the final part of the study schedule; this practical research topic is focused on real companies, and provides an opportunity to do ‘consultancy’ style work in a safe environment.
• an overseas study tour is being trialed for interested students; mainly throughout south-east Asia countries

Participation of business and/or government sectors

Each paper has a guest speaker from industry contribute a session. Students are offered the opportunity to do an internship in a company in Part C of the programme. This is an applied research project investigating various aspects of their chosen industry. Selected students are able to participate in running real companies, either as directors or consultants.
