“Looking back, my year at MBS
has been one of the most intense,
dynamic and challenging years of
my life. While constantly facingrigorous academic challenges and
deadlines, one of the most in-
spiring aspects was growing to-
gether as a team. In sum, the year
was extremely demanding but
totally balanced with lots of fun,
new experiences, fresh ideas and
a bunch of great people!”

04 Your Challenge
Team Up – Develop New Perspectives
As a part icipant of the Mannheim MBA, you will face
a series of extraordinary challenges. You will become
a part of an elite group of high-achievers from across
the globe and you will find that being surrounded by
peers with impressive goals and ambitions is extreme-
ly inspiring. Mannheim MBA participants have already
graduated in a range of fields with exceptional results,
and are bright and ambitious professionals from all
walks of life. On average, they have gathered 5 years
of professional work experience since obtaining their
first academic degree. Our participants are, without
exception, committed, focused, dedicated and talent-
ed. While knowing how to lead, they are also great
team players.
Our Multi-Competence Team Concept
One essential element of the MBA program is the team
experience. Therefore, the Multi-Competence Team
(MCT) concept is applied in all Mannheim BusinessSchool programs. As the concept hinges on two basic
tenets for an ideal learning experience – diversity and
continuity – participants are assigned to heteroge-
neous teams at the beginning of their MBA experi-
ence. The Multi-Competence Teams stay together for
the duration of the program and work together on
their social as well as their team project. This forms a
major part of the learning process, as project manage-
ment, intercultural competence and leadership skills
are of utmost importance to successfully complete the
joint project.
Your MBA is a time of self-exploration – and your MCT
will help you make the most of this opportunity!

Learning in Practice
We believe that it is of utmost importance
for you to be able to apply the knowledge
you gain in the classroom to real business
issues. During the final term of your MBA
program you will put into practice every-
thing you have learned in class for the
Team Project: Together with your MCT you
will act as consultants for an internation-
al company or develop your own business
plan. Here you will have the chance to
learn how to make decisions in the face of
complex data and tight deadlines – and
defend your choices among your fellow
participants. This in-depth case-method
learning puts you in the role of the deci-
sion maker and will give you the confi-
dence to embark on a truly international
business career.

Social Responsibility at the Core
Doing your MBA at Mannheim Business School involves far more
than taking classes in Financial Accounting, Corporate Finance
or Supply Chain Management. Business ethics and social respon-
sibility have always been core elements of our school’s educa-tional concept. That is why the social project is an integral and
mandatory part of the Mannheim MBA curr iculum.
Innovative Projects
The project should make a positive contribution to society on
some level. However, it is up to your individual team to define
the scope of your project, as it may pursue any number of goals:
educational, promotional, humanitarian or social. The social proj-
ect puts your project management abilities to the test and allows
you to make a difference in the community. Past projects range
from art workshops for children treated at University Hospital
Mannheim over introductory internet classes for senior cit izens
to a blood drive organized on campus.
Beyond Hard Skills –
The Social Project

over the years, supporting student initiatives, such as the technology club,
or by providing challenging projects to the participants. We have always seen
this interaction as a win-win situation, where students gain a deep under-

The Land of Entrepreneurs
and Inventors
Germany is not only the land of poets and philosophers, it is
also the home of a highly efficient and productive economy.
With a population of 82 million, Germany is the largest and most
important market in the European Union (EU) and one of the
four largest economies in the world. Given its high focus on ex-
ports, there is scarcely any other country that is as intertwined
with the world economy and interested in open markets as
Germany. Its share of total world trade is approximately nine
percent.
More than a thousand companies in Germany hold at least a top
three posit ion in the world, which is more than any other com-
parable economy has to offer. It is not only the major corpora-
tions such as Siemens, Volkswagen, Daimler, Adidas, Allianz,
SAP and BASF that shape the German business environment,
but also tens of thousands of small and medium-sized interna-
tionally oriented enterprises.
According to the European Scoreboard, Germany is one of the
global innovation leaders and European champion with by far
the most patent applications of all European countries. ManyGerman inventions, such as printed books, cars, computers, chip
cards and the mp3-format, have changed the world, and Ger-
many’s inventive spirit is as strong as ever: The innovative ca-
pability of German business proved to be the driving force in
recovering from the recent economic cr isis.
Due to this inventive spir it, Germany cont inues to be one of the
leading nations in several promising technologies. These include
biotechnology, nanotechnology, computer science and other
high-tech fields. Furthermore, the leading banking sector in
continental Europe is concentrated in Frankfurt/Main where
the European Central Bank (ECB), the German Central Bank(Bundesbank) and Deutsche Börse, the national stock exchange,
are all headquartered.
In the Heart of German Business
50 % of Germany’s top 500
companies are located within
250 kilometers of Mannheim.

Living in Mannheim
At its core, the Mannheim experience is built around an intense
team experience. There are countless opportunities to get in-
volved in student-led activit ies outside the classroom, such as
sports activities, German language courses, trips to museums
and exhibitions as well as student clubs and social events like ka-
raoke nights, wine-tasting or student parties. They are a chance
to have fun, relax and make friends for life. As our alumni agree:
the MBA program is a bonding experience enabling you to build
a close-knit network of friendships that last a lifetime.
Situated at the confluence of the Rhine and Neckar rivers in one
of the sunniest regions of Germany, Mannheim offers numerous
possibilities to spend your leisure time: having a cup of coffee
in the courtyard of the castle, relaxing in the beautiful Luisen-
park, cycling on the banks of the Neckar river, strolling through
the busy shopping streets with their cafés and bars or attending
cultural highlights on the “culture mile” with its museums,
galleries, concert hall, opera, ballet and theatre. As Mannheim
is situated at the heart of Europe, you can easily reach cultural
centers in Germany and beyond such as Heidelberg, Frankfurt,
Munich, Paris and Strasbourg.
Since its foundation as a city, Mannheim has been a spec ial and
cosmopolitan place to live in. It stands out among other cities
because of the planned chess board arrangement of square blocks
in the city center (“Quadrate”). And the open-minded attitude of
the citizens of Mannheim allows new arrivals to feel at home af-
ter a very short period of time.
