Target audience

Our MBA programmes in particular generate a cooperative atmosphere, and participants all contribute with their personality and their experience to enrich the group as a whole. With on average almost nine years experience, participants on ESADE Executive MBAs are successful professionals who bring in knowledge and skills from many different spheres, industry, technology, finance, telecommunications, energy, the public sector etc.

Programme

The program comprises five stages, avoiding the traditional approach based on "courses" and "management functions". Instead, an integrated approach is used to tackle problems and the most suitable choices made in the light of the company's circumstances.

The business world is a complex one, hence the need for various perspectives when seeking solutions. We strike the right balance between techniques and disciplines, and the practical application of concepts. Each stage of the program includes intensive week to cover a key management and personal development theme. Three of these are held outside ESADE. Two of them are study tours at top business schools in the USA and UK. The third week is dedicated to Outdoor Training activities.

1: General Management
2: Integrating Resources
3: Designing the Strategy
4: The Global Company
5: Leading the Future

In the EMBA programme, interaction with classmates is a fundamental part of the learning process. The programme’s method uses the experience and knowledge of the various students as a catalyst for joint learning. I believe that basic concepts such as dialogue, effort, serenity, competence, attitude and the capacity for self-criticism should govern the leadership style that today’s companies need. ESADE’s educational practices transmit and promote these concepts in particular.
