The Professional Master’s program in Business Administration began in 2001, with the first theses being defended in 2003. The Professional Master’s program has the following characteristics:
- Its target audience is composed of analysts, managers, executives, and other professionals in the Business Administration field who work or intend to work in private, public, or voluntary sector organizations;
- It emphasizes the practical application of concepts and theories in the field of Business Administration, as well as in related fields;
- It preferably applies resources aimed at practical applications, without sacrificing theoretical quality;
- It uses active teaching methods that engage students in the learning process, simulating situations in businesses, in order to facilitate confrontation between the participants and their points of view;
- It is taught by faculty members who combine solid training with theoretical competence and extensive practical experience.
OBJECTIVES
The Professional Master’s program in Business Administration has the general objective of training executives who are prepared to make complex, ethical, and innovative decisions in dynamic organizations, promoting social impact in an interconnected and globalized world.
To this end, the Program is based on the following pillars:
- Comprehensive knowledge of Business Administration, which allows for a holistic view of the organization.
- Effective integration between theory and practice, stimulating the exchange of experiences between students, enriching their learning experiences by continually contrasting theoretical models with the reality of the business environment.
- Use of analysis instruments appropriate to the Brazilian and international socio-economic and organizational context.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
The general goals involve these specific objectives:
- Prepare students to make efficient and effective decisions in an environment of uncertainty and constant change. Such preparation involves developing the ability to analyze the external environment, both nationally and internationally, in order to be prepared to react to changes that affect the reality in which the business is inserted in order to minimize problems and take advantage of opportunities. To this end, we provide analytical instruments suitable to the Brazilian and international socio-economic context.
- Develop a holistic view of the organization, as a complex and multifaceted organism. This objective is achieved through comprehensive knowledge in Management, in order to understand the interconnections between the various functions and organizational units, allowing for the evaluation of the impact of decisions on other units of the company and on the market.
- Provide effective integration between theory and practice. In order to achieve this objective, it is necessary to stimulate the exchange of experiences between students, enriching learning by continually opposing theoretical models with the reality of the business environment. This is also achieved by having, in the Professional Master’s Program, a large number of teachers who combine solid academic training with practical experience in organizations.
- Develop networking, leadership, and teamwork skills. In an interconnected world, it is essential that students acquire relationship skills and the ability to work in teams, including virtual ones. In this regard, it is also important to develop leadership skills, as these are complemented by the ability to work in a network.
- Raise awareness for the ethical and social issues involved in the business environment. In line with PUC-Rio’s mission, we seek to reinforce the value of ethical, social, and environmental considerations that permeate all experience in public and private organizations.
ALUMNI PROFILE
The Professional Master’s Program alumni have two distinct profiles, depending on their maturity and professional experience:
- Professionals who are already deep in their careers, having complemented the practical experience already acquired in organizations with a solid, comprehensive, application-oriented theoretical background. They are able to ascend to positions that require generalist training, in which they will have several people under their command, over whom they must exercise leadership, in order to achieve the objectives of the organization in which they work. They are also expected to be guided by high ethical principles and concern for society and the impacts of their decisions on the environment.
- They are young people who aspire to managerial careers in organizations of multiple possible sizes, whether they be public, private, or of the voluntary sector. They have comprehensive knowledge of business administration, which can serve as a basis not only to work in specific areas of administration, but also to develop generalist competences, involving the management of organizational units, or even small organizations. They have the ability to lead and work as a team, being guided by ethical principles and concern for society and impact on the environment.
