more than an
MBAby Ashok Som, Associate Dean, Global MBA
Business is becoming more and more global each and every day,
transcending cultures and generations and crossing borders that used to
stand between technologies, markets, and jobs. This change in the global
business environment has resulted in both challenges and opportunities:
challenges in terms o managing business, opportunities in terms o
creating growth and value, particularly in the emerging markets o Asia,
Latin America, and Arica. But global opportunities also raise global risks
and complex issues, and ready-made solutions no longer work.
Companies are looking or a new breed o entrepreneurial managers, with
a willingness to take risks and continuously reinvent new ways o doingprotable, responsible, sustainable business. How do we rise to such a
challenge?
The Global MBA sets itsel apart rom other MBA programs through its
unique combination o knowledge-centered courses and seminars with
experiential learning, to continuously challenge, test, and develop
participants critical thinking ability and creativity. The Global MBA is
designed to strengthen the ties between business and policy, theory and
practice. It is designed to oer companies a means to educate their
high-potential managers, as well as invite a diverse mix o individualparticipants who will develop an elite proessional network. Personal
attention, via mentoring, career development, and a range o elective
oerings will enable participants to identiy and build their strengths.
In short, it is much more than an MBA. It is a tool or change.
Because we aim to train the responsible decision-makers o
tomorrow, we designed the Global MBA program to reveal the
potential o young managers. It seeks to develop not only knowledge
but know-how and a heightened consciousness o their role as
business leaders in our society.

#The city-country Singapore impressesme with its ubiquitous cleanliness and
impressive eciency. My Singapore
experience has endowed me with
a more lively knowledge o Asian
countries. Singapore is a mini-Asia:
beautiul, hospitable, energetic, and
ull o potential opportunities. One o
our courses, Geopolitics in Asia, has
acilitated my understanding o Asian
countries.
Yong Wang, China, Global MBAstudent 2011 -2012
SingaporeCommercial Crossroads o the East and WestRich and VibrantSingapore is a dynamic and vibrant Asian
city that continues to attract multinational
corporations and educational institutions. It is
ascinating and ull o opportunity as a businesshub, and its location makes or an ideal starting
point rom which to explore the rich culture and
geography o Southeast Asia: Thailand, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Vietnam It is an ideal locale to study
cross-cultural communication and management
techniques or a modern, interconnected, and
globalized society.
Strategically Located
The beginning o the century saw a conscious
decision on the part o ESSEC to solidiy its
international presence through the establishment
o a campus in Asia. Asia was an obvious choiceto two distinct reasons. First, students would
have the beneit o an enriched educational
experience in one o the global economys most
dynamic regions, and ESSEC too would beneit
rom an opportunity to heighten its educational
competencies and authority in relation to
Asia and business on the continent. In 2003,
Singapore was selected as the best location or
the new campus. The economic vibrancy o the
city-state and its unique role as the geographical,
commercial, inancial, and cultural crossroadsbetween East and West make it the ideal location
or ESSEC.

#My class has students from 12 countries sharing their experiences, beliefs, andknowledge. Also, most of us have studied or worked outside the home country andthese varied experiences add value to the discussions that happen in the class. Be it
an engineer or a lawyer or a consultant or an art gallery manager or a mountaineer
or an army officer, you name a profession I have someone in the class from that
background. Such is the diversity that aids peer to peer learning.
Shriram Venkatasubramanian, India, Global MBA student 2011-2012
#During our stay at Saint-
Cyr, we used physical
situations to explore what
leadership means. What
does it mean to be a
leader and to be ollowed
by individuals who do notthink the same way? What
does it mean to overcome
your ears and be part o
a team? I had an amazing
time at Saint-Cyr. In two
days I learned through
doing what I could
never have learned in a
classroom.
