In today's economy, national borders no longer exist and there are hardly any borders between individual continents. There is one huge market worldwide. This globalization means that large, international companies are dependent on well-trained managers. Managers who are familiar with the international business market, who think and act globally, can lead a company to the top worldwide and make it a global leader.

Corresponding management skills can be acquired in numerous different courses of study at universities of applied sciences or universities. One very important continuing education course that deserves special mention is the Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in International and Intercultural Leadership, which is completed at university level. Participants learn all the management tools and techniques for managing international companies, projects or processes. This further education course to become a global leader is usually completed in English to facilitate direct implementation in international practice. Cultural aspects also play an important role in this course. A distinction is made between professional, organizational and personal characteristics, but national and ethnic aspects are also studied.
