Presentation
The MIB is a general programme of educational training in international business management, which focuses on all aspects of corporate administration. The programme integrates studies in all the areas of business activity in an effort to develop the most reliable policies and strategies that successfully achieve the objectives of a company in an international environment. The world of business requires experienced professionals with advanced knowledge in various fields of effective management, while at the same time demands personal skills such as flexibility, adaptability, reflection, resolution and creativity.

The MIB is based around the four fundamental elements of a successful international business education: functional methods and techniques, personal development, the importance of strategic information decision-making, and aspects corresponding to creativity and innovation. They are all crucial to establish roles in today\'s multinational and multicultural firms engaged in the constantly evolving world of global business.

The main objectives of the MIB are:

• Train leaders able to evolve within the heart of complex international markets, and capable of inducing and managing flexibility and changes in reaction to new technologies, the appearance of new markets and social evolution.
