Executive MBA: Программа обучения

The EMBA program begins with a deep immersion in business fundamentals, management functions and strategy. Designed to help you make sound business decisions based on equally sound analysis and judgment, you will learn to identify key drivers and integrate them into a larger vision for your company and industry.

Your Individual Leadership and Development Itinerary begins from day one. You will join other experienced and motivated mid-career professionals working at leading global organizations from over 20 countries. International team-building and virtual teamwork are fostered right away.

Modules 5 to 7

The second EMBA phase prepares you to make a difference by developing your strategic leadership capabilities. The ESMT EMBA will challenge you to shift your focus from the short term to the long term – from the fundamental business toolbox to a broader understanding of your company’s sustainability and impact on society. ESMT EMBA participants find the program’s strong international focus to be as relevant as it is rewarding. You’ll return to your company with a much clearer vision for successfully leading international teams.

You will have the opportunity to sharpen your edge in one of the program’s focus areas: innovation and technology management, international management or business integrity. Committed to the idea that business can do well by doing good, the ESMT EMBA is designed so that students gain knowledge to develop, deploy, and manage technology in the pursuit of sustainability.

Modules 8 and 9

Global in focus, your ESMT EMBA will also expose you to leadership challenges in diverse countries and cultures. The International Field Seminar will challenge you and your fellow participants to experience leading international projects inside the offices of global companies on other continents. Recent seminars took EMBA classes to China, Brazil, Vietnam, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Argentina.

Traveling with the EMBA group allows you to become immersed in a cross-cultural dialogue and appreciate different perspectives in a variety of industries. You receive opportunities for first-hand experience and a range of insights into what it takes to lead in international business situations, while benefiting from insights gained through interpretation from ESMT faculty.

Integrated project from Module 5 to Module 9

During the final part of your EMBA journey, you will apply your newly gained skills and insights to help solve your organization’s ongoing challenges in a project that builds on ESMT’s unique approach to bridging the academic and the applied.

In consultation with their companies and with ESMT faculty, EMBA participants develop a project that addresses a business or management issue of broader relevance. The project draws on empirical field work and academic theories to develop real and immediate value to their organization as a direct result of the EMBA even before graduation. Students present their projects to faculty and sponsors at their company, and submit a final report based on the project to ESMT.

EMBA students can use this opportunity to forge new networks in their organization, display their new skills to internal stakeholders, initiate change within their organization, and gain personal visibility at broader and higher levels.
