MULTIPLYING EXPERIENCES AND COMPETENCIES
The Hybrid MBA aims to support managers in their professional development path thanks to a flexible program that combines online and on-campus participation.
On the one hand, participation to the online teaching sessions allows you to combine your work, study and family life, avoiding significant transport time and costs. It is enough to turn on your PC to be in classroom and turn it off to get back to your private life.
On the other, on-campus events allow you to strengthen the value of personal interaction with your classmates and faculty, thanks to company visits organized at prestigious companies of the Bologna Business School network, to hackathons on innovative topics and challenging final Business Games.
Industry professionals will hold Team building sessions, to go and in hand with a continuous mentoring activity supported by a high-level Executive.
The Hybrid MBA will feature 10 core and 2 cross-cutting courses. It has a digital connotation not just regarding its structure but also its contents, thanks to the digital talks, in-depth sessions, held by faculty and professionals. Their aim is to understand the way in which the new technologies are transforming organizations in all industries: from operations to marketing, from sales to management accounting.
The master features an innovative formula. The teaching sessions take place every Wednesday evening (every week), Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Each session lasts about 4 hours. This allows you to better arrange your agenda, participating to short and therefore more effective online sessions, making room for personal life during most of the weekend. In addition, there are going to be two on-campus smart-weeks lasting 3 days each, halfway through and at the end of the Master.
Participating to the Hybrid MBA means developing your professional career in a flexible and innovative way, combining work and private life.

Grandi AlessandroEvery year our society uses the resources that the planet Earth takes about a year and a half to regenerate. This and other empirical evidence of global significance bring the theme of sustainability to the center of the economic, political and social debate. Recent studies show that a sustainability-oriented management approach adopted by some companies leads to a medium-long term competitive advantage over competitors, a success achieved thanks to the ability to innovate the business model and introduce measurement tools to monitor and better manage the value creation process. The course aims to launch a debate on how to introduce sustainability policies and practices within companies.
