2 international seminars outside Europe
The Global Executive MBA includes two one-week modules held abroad called International Learning Experiences (ILE). Each ILE offers immersion based on the following subjects:
Social Entrepreneurship (Africa)
Ghana presents three salient features: it has a dynamic economy, serious development ambitions and a stable political environment. This study tour emphasises doing business in Ghana. Our participants meet investors and entrepreneurs at both the incubator and the accelerator stages and gain a deeper understanding of the business environment. Additionally, our participants mentor and advise young Ghanaian entrepreneurs at various workshops by applying their knowledge and experience, particularly in digitalisation.
Innovation (America or Asia)
Firms innovate in various ways: products, services, or processes to deal with complexity and thrive. Creativity and technologies shape firms’ ability to innovate. This international Learning Experience (ILE) is structured around corporate culture seminars, visits to research labs and digital hubs, and expert talks. The ILE exposes participants to how industries such as financial services and supply chains leverage digital acceleration and technological advances to drive improvements, cope with increasing competition and new players, and develop growth opportunities.
In partnership with BI Norwegian Business School, participants will attend an Innovation Symposium in France and a Sustainability Forum in Europe.
Immersive Leadership Experience in Crisis Management
NEOMA is the only school offering this unique and innovative experience. It strengthens team cohesion and enriches both the personal and professional journeys of the cohort.
