Posted on in Business News , Cycles News , Creative News, Outdoor News

The Oxford Summer School Masters programme has been designed to position senior employees for the boardroom.

The structure of the programme encourages delegates to look at things in a different way; to find their own creative solutions to high level strategic issues during the week.

Experts are on hand to advise, including respected industry leaders and retail professionals, to whom delegates have full, unprecedented access.

By looking at threats and opportunities, which they can profit or protect themselves from, the course ultimately helps senior managers to become more effective.
