Curriculum
With the MBA programme specialising in Salesforce, you’ll first develop a strong business administration knowledge. Building on that, you’ll learn practice-oriented concepts such as operations and information management, strategic management, leadership and corporate finance, to prepare for the various challenges facing modern managers around the world. Then, in your second semester, you’ll have the chance to specialise in Salesforce sales and consulting, developing software-specific skills for maximum practical orientation.
In your specialisation modules, you’ll familiarise yourself with the Salesforce software platform and the principles of customer relationship management. Afterwards, you’ll develop hands-on experience by working on the software, exploring its features and potential uses for various business cases. By the end of your studies, you’ll be well equipped to successfully lead Salesforce projects.
In addition to your education on the technical aspects of CMS, you’ll also acquire sales management skills, get to know the core ideas behind customer-driven organisations and learn how to identify the specific solutions needed for different sales channel challenges. By the end of your studies, you’ll have a well-rounded understanding of how to use Salesforce in order to enhance and optimise the sales and customer retention processes for any business you’ll work for in the future.
