Q Upgrade your professional skills through case studyanalysis and live consultancy in multinationals. The international seminars are used to challenge students in their capacity to analyze organizational based business cases and convince senior executives of their solution.
Q Acquire a global perspective to do business and improve your proficiency in English with a program fully taught in English and through international experiences.
Q Deepen your knowledge in business fundamentals in areas you were not familiar with. The “grands oraux” (finance, marketing and CSR and final grand oral) are three flagship events in the executive MBA program, putting the students in a situation where they defend their analysis of a detailed case study before a panel of academic and professional executives.

Faculty members of ICN Business School and EM Strasbourg hold doctorates in their field and pursue their research interests and consulting missions in companies. Participants will all be individually tutored by a faculty member to be able to develop their individual dissertation. The availability of the faculty to answer participants’ questions and to complement classes has been very appreciated by alumni.
Q Be able to adopt new perspectives in problem solving, in management and personal challenges though creativity and your capacity to capitalize on your personal strengths. A special partnership with ICN’s School of
Coaching provides a valuable opportunity for participants to work on personal and professional competency development themes.
Q Join an international alumni network of more than 9,000 people in ICN Business School and 13,000 people in EM Strasbourg and never forget your EMBA lively experience.
As represented on the program schedule, leaving the comfort zone is an integral part of the learning experience for Executive MBA students. A core aspect of Faculty’s role and of innovative learning approaches through live case studies
is to bring students in analytical situations where they need more than their prior experience to solve problems. This learning experience makes you expect to:
The learning experience is enriched by case study analysis, group dynamics, role-playing, company visits, live case studies, conferences by visiting foreign professors and guest lecturers with professorial experience. In addition, an online platform provides access to 300 courses in English and French to deepen students’ knowledge on course topics.
At level three, participants face their highest level of stress and need to prove to academics and professionals that they nonetheless understand the concept (level 1), but are also able to explain (level 2) and to apply it successfully (level 3).

« As an Officer fighter pilot in his late 30s, I wanted to change my professional life with a 90 degree turn in a brand new environment. Uncertainty was difficult to face but brought me opportunities that I have been able to catch. The Executive MBA was more than helpful to make up my mind in this personal and professional transformation. Let’s face it: during 18 months you don’t have 1 teacher per class but the whole student group. As in the Air Force, a group is stronger, go higher, multiplying interactions, enriching more than ever this fantastic period of my life. »

AN INTENSIVE WEEK OF LECTURES, VISITS, LIVE CASE STUDY AND CULTURAL EXCHANGES…
AN INCOMPARABLE EXPERIENCE!
BUCHAREST (ROMANIA): FINANCE SEMINAR
A choice location for a seminar is fast growing Romania. A multinational corporate partner provides a live case study allowing participants a hands-on experience in problem analysis and solution finding. Students will be faced with a foreign GAAP and IFRS analysis they have to solve in one week and defend in front of financial experts.
ATLANTA (USA): STRATEGY SEMINAR
No one forgets the intensive work and stressful week in Atlanta! In addition to lectures in Strategy which take place at the college of management at the Georgia Institute of Technology, participants spend half a day in the headquarters of a multinational to present the findings of their 3 month research of a global live case study question
given by managers. With five to ten senior executives being present, the quality of the work must meet board level standards.
SHANGHAI (CHINA): MULTICULTURAL SEMINAR
The Intercultural Management Seminar wraps up the 18-month program. It invites the students to adopt a new perspective on developing business with China. The students participate in lectures led by professors at ECUST University and carry out exercises in local companies on the challenges of
globalization – myth and reality.

A research methodology appropriate to the chosen project needs to be designed subsequently. The student must demonstrate an ability to raise relevant questions and conduct theoretical and empirical research. The “grands oraux” are the occasion for participants to show their ability to solve problem solving projects in business areas where graduates are not professionally experienced. One is especially dedicated to finance and another one focuses on marketing and corporate social responsibility.

« Never before working on live case studies had I experienced such a creative teamwork process where everybody was bringing their own perspective and combining it in a way that was enhancing the final result. I was totally amazed at the results we could obtain, and I now prolong this experience in my daily work. »
