Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) comprise over 95% of businesses in many countries. SMEs are renowned for their entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial activities allow firms to remain competitive, they can create economic growth and innovation, and they can solve societal problems.
You learn to understand the role SMEs and entrepreneurial firms are playing in the modern entrepreneurial economy, more importantly, the strategic and managerial challenges small business owners and entrepreneurs face. Many management programmes focus on large businesses, whereas SMEs and entrepreneurial firms have specific characteristics. You will learn about them and how small business owners and entrepreneurs can effectively manage their businesses in an increasingly complex business environment.
You will link the specific theories on SMEs and entrepreneurship to practice by means of assignments and guest lectures. The programme has an international group of enthusiastic, highly-reputed lecturers with research experience and contacts in the professional field. Besides, the relatively small group of students (about 50-60 each year) results in a personal approach with possibilities for customization.


					

Waarom aan de RUG?

More than 95% of the business community consists of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Yet most management programmes focus on large businesses. In the MSc SB&E, you learn more about the management of SMEs, about the entrepreneurial economy and the challenges entrepreneurs are facing.

The programme has been internationally accredited by the AACSB and EQUIS, ensuring a high-quality education, which only 1% of universities reach worldwide.

The specific organisational characteristics of smaller firms are discussed, so basically all subdisciplines of management and organisation. Moreover, questions such as 'what factors affect the successful launching of new ventures and the management of entrepreneurial firms?', 'how can established small and large firms keep their entrepreneurial orientation?' and issues of consultancy are addressed.
