Aalto MBA to offer an extensive module in entrepreneurship
07.09.2012
The international Aalto Part-Time MBA program will offer a new elective module focusing extensively on entrepreneurship. The module covers the needs of small start-ups and global corporations alike. The program is offered by Aalto University Executive Education (Aalto EE).
− Finland desperately needs new growth companies. This means that we also need highly competent and widely experienced managers that are also trained in the unique challenges that face entrepreneurial initiatives in various environments, says William Cardwell, head of the Aalto University Center for Entrepreneurship (ACE), who will lecture on his area of specialty in the program.
− Entrepreneurship is not only about private enterprise, but also about each employee's inner entrepreneurship: a creative approach, enthusiasm and inspiration. It is a topical key issue in the global economy, and we want to offer students an opportunity to familiarize themselves profoundly with all aspects of entrepreneurship, says Associate Dean Minna Hiillos.
