EMBA Consortium for Global Business Innovation
The EMBA Consortium for Global Business Innovation is the result of a collaboration of eleven business schools located in important cities and regions of the world, with the aim of enriching the educational experience of their respective students. We stressed its philosophy, which is that, by offering a global portfolio of geographically focused programs, students can confront the reality of doing business in different environments, reinforcing their previous learnings and experiences, and providing an important global perspective on business innovation, an essential asset in the globalized world. By experiencing learning from different markets with professors, colleagues, companies, government institutions in different cultures, students who participate in the Consortium will experience a paradigm shift that will be of great importance in their professional trajectory
This week-long program offers to Executive MBA students an in-depth
exposure to the experiences of companies in different parts of the world as they face new challenges from local and global competition. Students can choose their favoured destination destination according to a bidding system coordinated by the consortium.
