Capstone Project
The capstone project is the cornerstone of the Global Executive MBA programme. It accommodates various types of real project developments: existing business, not-for-profit, new ideas. The project aims to provide the participants to put together their expertise and working experiences along with the knowledge and competencies gained throughout the programme, to shape the project’s strategy and its development stages.

The social project promotes ideas that tackle social problems to develop purpose-making technology-based solutions that are economically sustainable.
Industry immersions
Participants will gain insights on how firms in specific industries are strategically dealing with the challenges raised by climate change and spikes in energy prices. The seminars mix company visits, lectures from experts and discussion with top management.
The excellence of our faculty and experts

- Our professors teach in the best institutions: Harvard Business School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Columbia Business School, Stanford University, University of Southern California, Imperial College London, INSEAD, HEC, Surrey Business School, etc.
Two international seminars to offer a global outlook
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 (Accra, Ghana):
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 (Location varies every year):
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.
Capitalising on the synergies of two regions with major economic heritages
Regional anchoring is a central component of NEOMA BS: in the Global EMBA, it is embodied in the seminars devoted to the Champagne-Ardenne and Normandy regions, allowing participants to discover promising sectors of activity (company tours, case studies, etc.).
For example, participants meet with decision makers from the luxury sector (prestigious champagne houses) to discuss circular economics or discover the most successful entrepreneurial stories in Normandy (Ferrero, etc.).
Evaluation
To graduate, the following conditions must be met:
- Successful acquisition of the competencies delivered by the Global Executive MBA programme through individual and group assessments as case studies, reports and simulations
- Completion of the Capstone Project: written report and oral defense before a jury
Middle East and Asia Tracks
The NEOMA Global Executive MBA programme is also available in Asia and the Middle East: in China, in the city of Shanghai, an international financial centre and in Tehran, Iran, renowned for its culture and excellent higher education.
We offer these tracks to executive and middle managers and to local entrepreneurs who want to develop executive manager skills.
