Business administration crash course - practical knowledge for managers from all areas of the company
Knowledge of business administration is an advantage for executives and managers from all areas of the company. Practical know-how in accounting and business management should not just be reserved for controlling and management. This business administration crash course is ideal for acquiring the relevant knowledge as quickly, practically and thoroughly as possible. In just two days, you will learn all the important basics of business administration in a compact format.
Why business knowledge is important
You don't need to be a car mechanic or engineer to drive a car. But to know how to save fuel with a combustion engine, you need some basic knowledge of engine technology. It is comparable if you acquire business knowledge as a "non-specialist". Nobody is asking you to take on the work of controlling or financial planning. But with a basic knowledge of business administration, it will be easier for you as a manager from another area of the company to understand economic decisions. At the same time, your newly acquired specialist knowledge will enable you to play a greater role in future corporate planning.
Or, as a scientist or engineer, don't you sometimes wish that staff from other areas had more understanding for the content of your work?
Acquire important specialist knowledge now with the business administration crash course! You can find available dates throughout Germany here or take the opportunity to book an in-house course for your entire department.
