NEOMA Business School’s Global Executive MBA is designed for experienced professionals seeking leadership skills with a global perspective. This program leverages NEOMA’s historical excellence to prepare leaders for modern business challenges.
NEOMA Business School has a long-standing reputation for excellence and a proven track record of academic achievement. With over 10,000 students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs, NEOMA offers a comprehensive range of opportunities.
Founded in 1871 by entrepreneurs who wanted to educate their employees and go global, it is one of the oldest business schools in France. The school continues to highly value entrepreneurship and the international outlook. Professor Sami Attaoui, Director of the Global Executive MBA, says they are in the school’s DNA. (00:25)
The Global Executive MBA, in particular, attracts a diverse cohort of students, with 50% being international and having an average of 18 years of professional experience. It provides participants with a 360-degree vision of leadership and can be completed part-time in Paris or Shanghai. (01:25)
This diversity is a significant strength of the program. Having individuals from different sectors and backgrounds fosters a vibrant and dynamic classroom experience.
To ensure that the Global Executive MBA enhances the leadership skills of everyone in the diverse cohort, the program maintains a broad focus.
“It’s a general management education program with the focus on sustainability and innovation,” Prof. Attaoui says.
This focus on sustainability and innovation is a necessity in modern business education along with the classics like finance and marketing. Similarly, the curriculum is designed to leverage digitalization and the changes brought by artificial intelligence (AI).
Today, business leaders are increasingly required to integrate sustainable practices into their strategies. NEOMA’s emphasis on sustainability ensures that its graduates are equipped to make responsible and impactful decisions. Additionally, AI prepares students to harness technological advancements for business growth and innovation.
Faculty members who bring a mix of academic and industry experience lead the courses throughout the program. “All have industry experience, so they are very up-to-date in terms of market practices, but also they are engaged in cutting-edge research,” notes Prof. Attaoui. (03:15)
The Global Executive MBA sets itself apart from other EMBA programs by providing “a real immersive global experience,” according to Prof. Attaoui. “We have a China track, and we have a track in France, and we combine these two trucks on multiple opportunities and occasions,” he explains. (02:23)
The different tracts come together in NEOMA’s virtual campus and during international study tours. Global immersion is a critical component of The Global Executive MBA. It gives students the chance to understand and navigate different markets and cultures. The combination of virtual and physical learning environments ensures maximum participation.
Taking time away from work for an MBA, even part-time, can be intimidating. However, employers greatly benefit from the continuous learning and up-to-date knowledge their employees gain.
For example, a CEO who completed the EMBA program at NEOMA valued the training so much that he sent two of his immediate directors the following year. Prof. Attaoui says that they face significant uncertainty due to modern challenges. It’s then crucial for employees to possess current knowledge rather than relying on what they learned five or ten years ago. (04:28)
NEOMA’s Executive MBA program enhances the skills of individual participants and brings significant value to their organizations by fostering innovation, leadership, and a global perspective. This continuous education approach ensures that both students and their employers stay ahead in the competitive and rapidly changing world.
