>> The Maastricht School of Management is a free-standing, independent business
>> school located in the historic city where the European Union treaty was
>> signed.  MsM is one of the oldest business schools in the Netherlands.
>> Established in 1952 as the Research Instituut Voor Bedrijfswetenschappen
>> (Institute for Management Science) at the Technical University of Delft, MsM
>> moved its campus to Maastricht in 1989.
>>
>> MsM's teaching program has a strong practical orientation, originating in its
>> early task at the University of Delft: Management training for engineers.
>> The School balances management theory with practical experience and applied
>> research in a multicultural and multidisciplinary setting. This approach has
>> resulted in a strong quality ranking for MsM's MBA courses.  MsM is one of
>> the fastest-growing business schools in the Netherlands.
>>
>> MsM's mission is to enhance performance of the private and public sector for
>> economic development in countries in transition.  Complementing the regular
>> management education programs (MBA, DBA and PhD), MsM's technical assistance
>> capability includes organizational and institutional development, training
>> capacity development and research and policy advice.
>>
>> In addition to its sizeable on-site MBA program, MsM is now involved in 31
>> MBA Outreach Programs in 23 different countries (Bangladesh, Brazil, China,
>> Cyprus, Egypt, Indonesia, India, Iran, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait,
>> Malaysia, Malta, Mongolia, Namibia, Peru, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Singapore,
>> Suriname, Tanzania, UAE and Vietnam).  The total enrollment in all MsM MBA
>> programs is two thousand students.
>>
>> In April, the Vietnamese Women's Union gave an award to the Maastricht School
>> of Management for its Training for Women in Micro and Small Enterprises
>> project in Vietnam. In the past three years, more than 10,000 female
>> entrepreneurs took part in the training.
>>
>> Other advisory and consultancy support activities include projects financed
>> by the World Bank, the European Union, the United Nations Development
>> Program, the Dutch government, and the United Nations Industrial Development
>> Organization. Current projects include:
>>
>>     * Chinese Enterprise Management Trainers' Development Project in
>> Changsha, China
>>     * Public Health Management in Egypt
>>     * Development of Small Industry Extension and Promotion in Bangkok,
>> Thailand.
>>     * Capacity Building for Decentralization of Government in Accra, Ghana.
>>
>> These projects focus on small business development, enterprise restructuring,
>> and entrepreneurship. The Expert Centre for Sustainable Business and
>> Development Cooperation is an initiative of four Dutch universities: the
>> Maastricht School of Management (MsM), the Rotterdam School of Management
>> (Erasmus University Rotterdam), the Amsterdam graduate Business School
>> (University of Amsterdam) and EIBE (European Institute for Business Ethics,
>> Universiteit Nyenrode). The Expert Centre combines the skills and expertise
>> of the four institutions for multidisciplinary treatment of sustainable
>> development issues.
>>
>> Conferences hosted by MsM include the International Management Development
>> Association's 13th annual World Business Congress (held July 14-18, 2004 in
>> Maastricht), and the April, 2004 conference on Turkey and the EU, with Koc
>> University.
