It also suits aspiring entrepreneurs with a strong sense of family legacy and a desire to drive innovation and professionalisation.
Unlike general MBA programmes, this degree is uniquely focused on the context of family businesses. It addresses challenges like generational transition, family governance, and legacy-building while nurturing entrepreneurial thinking and ethical leadership. The curriculum is tailored to help students balance tradition and innovation, making it highly relevant to the realities of family-run enterprises.
