Teaching
Our mission
Developments are extremely fast. Just think of the short time from the introduction of the first smart phone (IBM Simon Personal Computer in 1994) to today's world where most of our lives would be unthinkable without such a device. In addition to teaching the current state-of-the-art management tools, our mission is to enhance students' problem-solving skills and prepare them to deal with future, as yet unknown, management problems in manufacturing and logistics.
