The IMBA offers an integrative perspective of the organization. It is a unique program featuring a number of guest speakers from around the world who come and share their knowledge and expertise with participants during very interactive sessions, exposing them to best management practices. Because of its exible, part-time format, the program allows participants to pursue their professional occupations while completing the program and therefore minimize any potential disruption for both the student and her/ his employer. The program welcomes carefully selected participants as well as teaching staffs coming from a wide variety of academic and professional backgrounds. These backgrounds are not only diverse; they are also complementary and combined to make the IMBA a unique opportunity to learn from each other. This is not only a year where participants learn a great deal, this is for them a career-changing move, a year where they tremendously grow both from a personal and professional standpoint.

Strong Focus on: Strategic and analytical thinking Decision making Understanding of international socio-economic issues Teamwork and communication Personal adaptability and cultural agility Personal and career development Organizational awareness Global understanding of the complexity of the organization leadership development

WHAT THEY THINK ////////////////////////////////////////////////

It is an exhilarating experience, with successions of presentations full of knowledge and I really enjoy the style of delivery including the content of the courses. The courses complement each other so aspects of one course can be used in another. The professors though from various countries are very approachable and responsive. During my stay in IMBA, I learnt a lot especially around new ways of thinking strategically and working in teams. With a multicultural environment in the class, I have become more familiar with cross-cultural issues and Western perspectives. I would recommend this program to any manager/ student looking to broaden and enhance his/ her leadership and entrepreneurial skills. Syed Gohar (Pakistan) A truly challenging program focused on all aspects of business & entrepreneurship taught by an academic team of an exceptional quality coming from diverse backgrounds and countries. The IMBA program at IAE combines extremely well formal teaching, case studies & open and constructive discussions/exchanges. I would highly recommend this International MBA. Anne (France)
