This is a clear indication that the success of projects cannot be left to chance. There is, therefore, a need to produce educated individuals who can be able to generate ideas in order to solve problems, plan and control all project activities and resources; communicate and work effectively along with different levels of organizations; evaluate complex situations, draw upon concepts and ideas and act decisively; and make appropriate judgments where data is partial or lacking. Towards this end, this Master’s Program presents a unique opportunity to combine a broad knowledge of business and management principles with specific knowledge of working out and evolving project-based strategies.
