What makes FBS Unique
Flanders Business School, formerly known as Antwerp Business School, is one of the most important Executive MBA Schools in Flanders (Belgium). The duration of the residential Executive MBA program is two years. What's the difference between a Traditional Executive MBA and the
FBS Entrepreneurial MBA Program? The fundamental difference is the philosophical background on which the Entrepreneurial MBA is based. All the key components one can find in a traditional MBA curriculum are also taught at Flanders Business School. However, there are three essential differences: the participants, the Professors and the environment. All of these are focussed on the creation, development and realization of Entrepreneurship. As a consequence every participant has to introduce an idea for a new venture to his or her fellow entrepreneurial colleagues at the beginning of the second year. - What are New Ventures?
- Who needs an MBA to start a New Venture?
- A Masters Degree to become an Entrepreneur: Isn't that a Contradiction?
- There is more
What are New Ventures? - Change projects within existing organizations
- Start-up of new organizations
- Making family businesses grow
- Spin-offs from existing companies
- Buy-outs of existing companies
- Becoming a franchisee
- The development of new products and services in an existing company (Intrapreneurship)
- The expansion of companies abroad
Who needs an MBA to start a New Venture? Entrepreneurship is about much more than start-ups or fast growing businesses. Large corporations are looking for people with an entrepreneurial attitude. The focus on Entrepreneurship does not mean that all FBS Graduates will end up working in new or fast growing companies: FBS has participants employed in large corporations such as Alcatel Bell Telephone, Gevaert, KBC, Atlas Copco and Sidmar. They send us their most talented employees to learn how to lead ventures and defend or launch brands as if they were start-ups of their own companies. A Masters Degree to become an Entrepreneur : Isn't that a contradiction? No, an Entrepreneurial MBA doesn't make entrepreneurs: The eMBA at the Flanders Business School helps entrepreneurial participants acquire the skills that they need to help their ventures succeed. Most entrepreneurs fail four to five times before being successful. If we can teach our entrepreneurial candidates the necessary techniques, skills and concepts to help them identify opportunities in the global environment, to start new ventures, to write Business Plans, show them alternative ways to find capital, and how to make their business profitable from the start, then the investment is worth it.
