The director of the Global MBA and Co-Director of the Master in Human Resources and Organization and Director of the Open Program in Digital HR Management is Marcello Russo, PhD and Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management at the University of Bologna. A Visiting Professor at Kedge Business School in France and a member of the International Network on Technology, Work and Family at UQAM Montreal in Canada, he is an expert in work-life balance and in finding unique techniques to improve one’s work-life balance. From 2019 at the head of Bologna Business School‘s Global MBA, Professor Russo never stops inviting reflection on the kind of leader one wants to be and the importance of research in this area. “The literature,” says Marcello Russo, “is also very clear in suggesting what makes a person a good leader: being kind to people, respecting their extra-work life, being a coach, not controlling people and, above all, taking care of their well-being”.
Founded on these pillars, the Global MBA brings to Bologna, in the heart of Italy and Europe, under the aegis of the oldest and among the most prestigious universities, students from all over the world with the aim of training Luxury Managers, experts in Made in Italy and innovation ready to enter the business world as protagonists.
Bologna Business School is EQUIS – EFMD Quality Improvement System accredited, one of the most important international quality assessment and continuous improvement systems for Schools of Management and Business Administration.
