Graduate School of Social Sciences

Our program is designed to enable managers and managerial candidates to understand the increasingly volatile economic, political, and environmental parameters of international markets through real-life examples and interdisciplinary modern approaches. In this context, our program offers a case-based education and training process that allows managers and managerial candidates from the private sector, public sector, or non-profit organizations to comprehend the increasingly complex international economic opportunities and risks, grasp national and international challenges from all dimensions, and view decision-making processes from an international, analytical, and strategic perspective. The curriculum of our program not only focuses on business/corporate decision-making processes from a micro perspective but also integrates international public policies and strategic variables with strategic management from a macro perspective in an analytical and effective manner. To deepen corporate management skills, it blends quantitative, qualitative, and theoretical analysis methods in the most appropriate balance.The main objectives of our program are as follows:
