What makes the Gdansk University of Technology MBA programme special is not only the way it brings together sectoral specialisation and the core business competencies but also the way it challenges sectoral orthodoxy and focuses on management and not just on business analysis. For example, the management accounting course not only teaches the basic analytical skills but continually challenges participants to evolve and justify management decisions in their specialisation and then goes the extra step of teaching the most effective way to communicate the decisions and analysis in business reports and presentations. It is this continued placing of the analytical in the perspective of management practice that makes for successful management education, especially when the participants are themselves successful practitioners in their own sectors.
