⇑Why choose the Manager specialisation (Master's) at SWPS University?

Dlaczego warto studiować na Uniwersytecie SWPS
Why study it:

Manager is one of two second-year tracks of the Management and Leadership master's at SWPS University. It is designed for people aiming at managerial positions in mid-sized and big companies.

Programme: analytics, quality and deals

The track puts four subjects on your timetable:

  • big data analytics
  • quality management
  • mergers, acquisitions and partnerships
  • internal control and audit

Placements: a consultant's view of real firms

Real business cases are central to the studies. In a consulting assignment you examine an actual company situation and suggest remedies for challenges ranging from market strategy to process optimisation, talent management and digital transformation, learning how consultants think and work. You evaluate the situation first, then match each proposal to the particular difficulty the business faces, whether it concerns markets, procedures, people or technology.

After graduation: leading teams in established firms

A manager's desk is the aim: the track suits people who see themselves leading teams at mid-sized and big firms, where questions of quality, partnerships and internal audit arise. It is the more corporate-minded of the two second-year choices, while the other one is built around launching and running your own company.

⇑Definitions and quotes

Manager
[I]n the humanities and social sciences, and in fields like journalism and economics and so on … people have to be trained to be managers, and controllers, and to accept things, and not to question too much.
Noam Chomsky (2002) Understanding Power
Manager
Everybody has his own theatre, in which he is manager, actor, prompter, playwright, sceneshifter, boxkeeper, doorkeeper, all in one, and audience into the bargain.
J. C. and A. W. Hare, Guesses at Truth, in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 4-6.
Manager
Theory is a dirty word in some managerial quarters. That is rather curious, because all of us, managers especially, can no more get along without theories than libraries can get along without catalogs — and for the same reason: theories help us make sense of incoming information.
Henry Mintzberg (2005) Managers Not MBAs p. 249
