Soft skills

MBA
I'm doing the MBA because I look beyond my own nose. I want to discover new topics, new people and new opportunities. Until now I've had a purely commercial education and now I would like to scientifically investigate things of action. My aim is not just to act according to "gut feeling", but to work and decide with common sense and my own experience.

Business Ethics
For me, business ethics means the willingness to pay more for something in order, for example, to take production factors into account. Sustainability means, for example, avoiding unnecessary waste such as cafe to go cups and plastic bags. It means not throwing away food and learning how to shop. If each individual contributes something to sustainability, then much can already be improved.

Business Ethics
For me, business ethics is not an empty phrase, as it is often used in marketing. Ethics in general is a life-affirming and responsible attitude to all things in life. For me, ethics means respect for all living beings, a careful use of the resources of this planet and to go through life with deep humility, awareness and admiration for everything that is. Business Ethics is the translation of these all-embracing values into business life.

MBA
Learning is experience, you grow with experience. I want to grow out of myself, develop myself further, deepen my knowledge, acquire new insights and put them into practice right away. That's why I decided to take a part-time Master's degree. The International MBA in Management & Communications is designed to give me a further step in my career and to advance my personal development.

Business Ethics
For me, sustainability is not a trend, but a matter of course. I would like to make a positive contribution to environmental protection by consciously dealing with nature, resources and consumption in general. This starts with sustainable shopping and the consideration of whether one has to buy anything at all, and ends with the question of where the product comes from and how it was produced. But the way society deals with things is also an important aspect that should be questioned.
