MBD is an innovative format of MBA, aiming at creating new and intense relations between the world of business and the world of design.
Born in 2003 in Domus Academy, Milan, Italy, MBD represents a laboratory and a border line where designers and creatives, managers and entrepreneurs work in synergy on the creation of both a new strategic language, and new operative codes for the business and the market.
Business Design revolves around the idea that the project is the core and the driver of the business.
The objective of the master is to train the students on how to bring innovation and creativity, quality and effectiveness in the areas of products, services and social organisations.
Starting from this year the MBD Master program has opened a new specialization branch in Fashion Management.
The Master will start on common teaching platform and then divide into two pathways.
The first one will focus on the area of Industrial and Service Design Innovation, the second one on Fashion Management.
The competition addresses both young professionals working in design and fashion, and graduates in economic disciplines.
Candidates are asked to select a company they consider innovative in their own country.
The second step will be to define the context of innovation among the ones here described, or else define other criteria, motivating the choice.
