SGBS: How holistic management is taught

The particular ambition of the St. Gallen seminar providers and in particular the St. Gallen Business School is to convey the latest findings from research and teaching to the top-class participants in a very practical and therefore easy-to-use, implementable form. This is done in the context of seminars through guided teaching discussions, exchange of experiences, training based on real situations and learning concrete management tools and methods. The conscious avoidance of theoretical, student-based training concepts enables a high implementation effect. The lecturers at the St. Gallen Business School are characterized by high practical competence, which is secured by at least one solid foothold as an entrepreneur, executive, “temporary manager” or management consultant, as well as a high level of didactic competence. In this regard, all personalities do not see themselves as “stars” or “gurus”, but rather as experts in their field in the spirit of “marketing on your own behalf is out – result-oriented work in the background is in” to support the needs of the participants. In addition to the seminar activities in open, advertised seminars or customized in-house seminars, this expertise is also cultivated and used in the service of customers as part of the consulting activities organized by the St. Gallen Business School. Due to the close link between seminar activities, consulting and their own business projects, all lecturers at the St. Gallen Business School see themselves as mediators between business research and business practice.

Strong in internationalization, growth, value creation

Originally founded in Boston (Massachusetts, USA), Boston Business School has been part of St. Gallen Business School since 2021. It is responsible for our English-language seminars and programs and brings in-depth know-how in the areas of internationalization, profitable growth and sustainable value creation.

Certificate courses and MBA courses

The St. Gallen Business School is breaking new ground with its “SGBS Certified Expert St. Gallen” degree programs. These are designed as part-time St. Gallen practical studies and are deliberately different from the academic title with an accredited degree. Anyone who wants to acquire an SGBS Certified Expert degree at the St. Gallen Business School only wants to learn what is really useful. They want to develop precisely those competencies and skills that will really be needed for professional challenges in the coming years. They don’t want a title, but rather a practice-based acquisition of important skills.

St.Gallen Management Schools – Learn the profession of management

Management as a profession has not (yet) received sufficient professional training. It is left to time, chance and trial and error to determine whether something works or not: a very unsatisfactory situation considering the importance of the profession.

We at St. Gallen Business School have been in close contact with a large number of people and organizations for decades. We examine what it takes to practice this profession in a values-based and sustainably successful manner. We see the need to understand management as a profession and to learn this profession in the best possible way, with a clear focus on practice and application.

The format is called: St. Gallen Management Schools. We answer the question posed above, “Where can you learn management?” with a unique offer: a mixture of the best management seminars, in-depth workshops, accompanying coaching. With a clear focus on the job you already have or would like to do. With training and further education that is really useful.
