Management and leadership is largely about communication and for this communication, IT is becoming an increasingly important resource. A common thread in the education is to connect management, communication and IT. "During this master programme you will learn to identify questions and problems, analyze and choose different solutions. Of course, it is also about putting this into practice. You should be able to act."

In the education, we study and use IT in its economic and communicative context. IT is not just a technology but part of a business. It's about people. How can we lead better by communicating and using IT? How can we communicate better by leading and using IT?
