Overview

Chemical Industry Business Management Mini MBA Training Course is a one-week executive-foundation programme for chemical-industry managers, technical professionals, commercial staff, operations leaders, and project coordinators moving into business responsibilities. Participants connect industry value chains, feedstock and energy exposure, strategy, portfolio choices, operations, supply networks, finance, commercial decisions, risk, sustainability, and leadership through an integrated executive case. This is professional development training and does not award, replace, or claim equivalence to an academic MBA degree.
