Objective & purpose

The need of lifelong learning has become more essential in these days. The global business world is calling for well-prepared business leaders. Leaders who possess knowledge and solid business skills , who are able to see the `bigger picture` and also have the desire to make positive impact in society.  How will our EMBA programme contribute to achieve this? It encompasses academic, personal and societal development brought together in the specific context of Food & Agribusiness. The programme offers state-of-the-art academic insights and combines with best practises from renowned business leaders.

Academic development

The combination of work and study offers an intense yet very productive learning environment. You will be given new theory, best practises, insights and overall perspectives on how your specific product is part of the global supply chain, business models and markets. There are three learning blocks.

- Block 1. The role of business in a complex world
- Block 2. Positioning for long term sustainable value
- Block 3. Making it happen / Change for impact

Each block closes with high level integration modules on key issues and challenges specific to Food & Agribusiness. A final Management project, the so called Capstone project, which is your final proof of EMBA-level integral management skills, will be specific to a Food & Agribusiness case, supervised by scholars from Wageningen University & Research.

Personal development

You will be brought out of your comfort zone and will be challenged in discovering what your personality is, how you deal with challenges, what your qualities are and how to stay true to your own style. You will grow your self-confidence and improve your strategic-skills.  Being able to consider new and often confronting strategies, exercising judgement to make decisions and motivating people are key skills of good leaders which we will help you to develop.
