Leading Change, Organizations, and People

Organisations worldwide must continually evolve to meet the demands of digitalisation, globalisation, and sustainability. They need leaders who can manage people and business processes, interpret data, and guide organisations through transformation. This Leading Change, Organizations, and People program from Jönköping University equips you with those skills.

Offered as one of JIBS’ Master’s in Management (MiM) programs, ranked by the Financial Times, it combines broad training in managerial competencies with specialised expertise in leadership and organisational development. It is designed for ambitious students, whether recent graduates or early-career professionals, who aim for managerial and consulting roles in international companies and organisations.

You can pursue careers in consulting or management, taking on roles such as general manager, project manager, change manager, business developer, people & culture manager, or strategic HR manager, especially in organisations that have an international outlook. The program also provides an excellent foundation for those who wish to continue with doctoral studies.
