Location of Radboud University Nijmegen
Our Master's programme in Business Administration - unlike other similar programmes - emphasises the social processes that constitute organisations. How do social processes determine the ways in which organisations and management operate and perform? In addition, in Nijmegen we have chosen an integrated approach. This attention for the whole, including social relationships is what creates a better understanding of the importance of good management and can eventually increase the performance of organisations of all kinds.

Theory and action-based learning
This programme is closely associated with the research carried out within the Institute of Management Research, where the focus is on research into relationship management, institutional dynamics, decision making and innovative management. You will become familiar with both the theoretical and practical aspects of your special subject. The programme combines a thorough training in methodology with action-based learning: you apply the theory you have learned to concrete cases and learn to develop appropriate solutions. And, in our Visa Skills Lab, students use computers to make scenario analyses and simulate decision-making processes within organisations.
Truly international
The education and research training we provide are internationally oriented. We organise International Research Projects and our students have the opportunity to take part in a new Master’s level project on European Human Resource Management, a cooperative venture among six leading European business schools and universities. Here, students work in a multi-cultural team and follow a consultancy in-company project in one of the six countries involved.
Contents
Before the programme starts, you will choose a specialisation:
Business Analysis and Modeling
The Master's track Business Analysis and Modelling focuses on the individual and social ‘biases and heuristics' leading to suboptimal or even low quality decisions and the interventions aiming at improving managerial decision making (group decision support).
International Management
International Management is a unique multi-disciplinary specialisation within Business Administration. The basic tasks of cross-border management are understanding one's host country environment, being sensitive to cross-cultural differences and being able to manage operations separated by the barriers of distance, language, time, and culture.
Marketing
The Marketing programme focuses on the development and maintenance of relations with both existing and new customers in dynamic national and international markets. Such relations are becoming increasingly important for organisations because they can improve long-term organisational results (for example in terms of profitability).
Organisational Design and Development
This Masters specialisation focuses on designing interventions in organisational infrastructures as a central focus of organisation development, seen in the light of the societal role that organisations fulfil. From a design perspective, organisations are analysed and their infrastructure is redesigned. The central question in this process is how organisations can design their infrastructure in such a way that they can realise their intended contribution to societal values as completely as possible.
Strategic Human Resource Management
Organisational developments place strong demands on the structure of personnel management. The strategic importance of this management area is being increasingly acknowledged. The Masters specialisation in Strategic Human Resource Management focuses on new insights into personnel and organisation issues.
Strategy
The Master's specialisation in Strategy focuses on strategy processes and their management in organisations in relationship to their dynamic environment. The curriculum focuses on the various stages in aspects of the process of strategic management and the models and analysis instruments that have been developed with this aim in mind.
