MBA knowledge transfer in construction

In 2002, at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, with the support of TEMPUS CD-JEP - Curriculum development project the International MBA in Construction programme was launched specially designed and adapted to the construction industry’s specific needs. Specialisation in business management, known as MBA, is today probably the most highly respected qualification in the business world today. It is a form of additional higher education in management, because it provides knowledge and skills that enable students to master business processes more easily, and to adapt to globalisation processes (more) quickly and painlessly. Managers run companies and projects with the purpose of achieving maximum business results through the direct control of labour performance and considerable financial resources. For someone to become a good manager or project manager it is not enough to be “talented” for the job or to have a wish to do it. Those are no more than good motivations for a person to embark on the challenging journey of acquiring the variety of knowledge and skills without which they cannot expect to do the demanding and responsible managerial work successfully. Problems that have emerged during the execution of the programme, as well as suggestions for the further improvements through new teaching methods and a new approach to knowledge transfer adopted to the construction industry’s needs will be discussed in this paper. How to maintain the continuity of good quality while taking into account the reality of the lack of time for education is a problem that faced not by only students and their employers, but primarily by their teachers who are expected to pass on the knowledge as they are supposed to be the bearers of knowledge.
