Executive MBA

Executive MBA is to be considered before taking a very high function combining management and strategy. It goes further than the general MBA.

Executive MBA: between excellence and demand

Executive MBA is a degree that, like the MBA, is for executives who want to have more knowledge and managerial and strategic abilities.

The international dimension is more pronounced. The Executive MBA represents excellence and is aimed to executives with high potential.

Who is the Executive MBA for?

Executive MBA is a part-time training with schedules. Managers can choose between Fridays and Saturdays, evenings or weekends.

This training is intended for executives who:

* have a first professional experience of 5 to 10 years;

* already have responsibilities and are identified as high potential;

* have a real professional project and an international future;

* speak English already;

* have a logical and scientific mind;

* already have strategic or international missions.

Executive MBA is only to be considered if the candidate is available both physically and intellectually. An Executive MBA must be undertaken in an establishment close to the company and the home.

Note: Executive MBA is useful for access to senior management positions in major international companies, strategy consulting firms or investment banks. It is not suitable for the management of small and medium-sized enterprises.

How is the training of this MBA organized?

Training at the Executive MBA is not a continuation of courses. Five main themes are tackled and worked according to a specific pedagogical method.

The human dimension

This includes decision-making, organization, accountability and ethics.

It allows the candidate to learn how to play his role within a team or a service while getting the most from each member of that team.

The market

This module brings together finance and marketing:

* Finance is essential in order to carry out a strategic mission, it makes the accounting information understandable.

* Through marketing, the candidate will know his market, his clientele, the demands and needs.

Available resources

To advance a company, one must know his potential.

An analysis of the management of operations, information and distribution networks or human resources must be done. This is what the candidate will learn from this module.

Innovation in working methods

This theme was created to teach future executives to be proactive and therefore always have a head start. They will be sensitized to the strategies of companies but also to those of the competition and to the innovation.

All these lessons take into account the local and global economic environment.

The international dimension

In this module, candidates will be trained on international commerce and marketing, on comparative management and finally on international finance.

Pedagogical methods of the Executive MBA

The courses in the Executive MBA are adapted to the candidates and to the role of the latter when they graduate. They involve:

* fundamental lessons;

* methodological inputs obtained through the sharing of knowledge: professional experience of stakeholders and candidates;

* project team work;

* real field work in companies;

* simulations, scenarios and case studies.

To meet the expectations of candidates and companies, institutions offering the 

Executive MBA focus on:

* the selection of high-level candidates;

* the follow-up of students by the teaching team;

* the availability of information via online courses on the Intranet;

* the systematic evaluation of teachers by the students after each module.

Each institution analyzes the evolution of graduates, the evolution of market and the needs of companies. According to the results of these analyzes, it enriches or modifies the program.

This is why from one year to the other, the courses of Executive MBA are different.

Executive MBA prices

Executive MBA is a very expensive training. It is on average 30% more expensive than a conventional MBA.

Executive MBA is often financed by the company that has recognized the potential of one of these executives and wants to see him evolve into another function.
