The specialisation in Management Control gives a detailed introduction to how accounting, financial instruments, strategic analyses and other tools, including technology and digitisation, can be used to increase value creation in businesses. The core EMBA topics are combined with a specific focus on accounting and analytical skills, to enable students to make the best possible value creation decisions for their organisations.

Throughout your studies, you will also work with specific problems related to your own business.

The specialisation intends to

  • give the students research-based knowledge of financial management, leadership, organisation, finance, accounting, marketing, strategy, international economy, innovation, digitalisation, ethics etc.
  • give the students good analytical skills within fields such as strategic analysis, profitability analysis, financial statement analysis, investment analysis, valuation etc.
  • give the candidates up-to-date knowledge of how different management tools can be used strategically to increase value creation in an enterprise in light of new technological possibilities and challenges
  • give the students skills in how to apply theories and tools through work on real company cases
  • provide opportunities for networking through learning and development both in and outside the classroom.

Target group

The specialisation targets both people with management experience and people with ambitions to become managers. The specialisation attracts participants from a wide range of industries both in the private and the public sector.

Build a network

In the specialization, you will meet some of NHH's foremost researchers and guest lecturers from business and society. You and your fellow students represent a wide range of Norwegian business and administration. A diverse group of participants with complementary skills and backgrounds provides a unique learning environment and helps to promote different perspectives on business problems. The synergy effect between theoretical knowledge and the participants' practical experience creates an intensive, effective and engaging learning process.

Close and personal guidance

To ensure consistency and quality of the specialisation, and a close and personal guidance of all participants, a dedicated academic director will follow the participants from the very beginning until the end. The academic director maintains a high academic level, has a strong commitment and a large degree of involvement in you and your learning.
