ABOUT THE STEINBEIS UNIVERSITY School of International Business and Entrepreneurship (SIBE) The SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (SIBE) is the Graduate School for Leadership & Management at Steinbeis University, located in Herrenberg, Germany, and is headed by Prof. Dr. h. c. Werner G. Faix and Prof. Dr. Stefanie Kisgen.

SIBE stands for successful knowledge transfer and systematic competence building between science and business.
It is focused on companies and organizations as well as on competent, entrepreneurially global thinking and acting high potentials.

“With our innovation projects and our high potentials, we ensure growth and globalization at our partner companies - and competent management and junior (management) staff.

We are committed to the success of our partner companies and thus to the success of our participants.
Their success is our success!” An SIBE Master's is not solely an investment in an employee's future, but rather an investment in your own company's success!

And best of all: overall, a master's student usually costs less than a regular bachelor's annual salary.

Rather, students are expected to make knowledge a reality during an SIBE study program - not under laboratory conditions, but out in the "real world", in projects in the company.
Knowledge thus becomes a real experience, becomes tangible and thus "graspable" in the truest sense of the word.

MASTER OF ARTS IN GENERAL MANAGEMENT THE “MASTER OF ARTS IN GENERAL MANAGEMENT” IS DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED BY STEFANIE KISGEN, THE CURRENT MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE SIBE.
