Learn about markets, how organizations can navigate, and how people build identities
This unique education is for those, who aim to educate themselves as globally conscious, culturally sensitive, and socially responsible managers in private and public organizations.
It is taught entirely in English, and a semester abroad is compulsory on Market and Management Anthropology (MMA). MMA is part of University of Southern Denmark Business School.
MMA basically consists of courses in anthropological theory and fieldwork methods, courses that introduce marketing and management as social processes, and courses that provide managerial skills. The aim is to “put anthropology to work” in terms of applying anthropological skills in marketing and management contexts in all parts of the world. See examples of bachelor projects.
MMA teaches you how markets emerge and function, how organizations can navigate the global and local market conditions, and how people use goods and services to build identities in consumer culture.
Understanding cross-cultural encounters, globalization processes, and the ability to conduct fieldwork to generate market insights are among the most central skills that you will get from studying at the MMA programme.
