What are the key strengths of this program?
The MBA offers a 500 hour general management program in a triple-accredited International Business School. The Grenoble Graduate School of Business MBA is highly applied in content, delivered by a team that brings together academic specialists together with managers and consultants from a wide range of sectors.
Program Delivery: Full-time Structure
The course modules are taught over one academic year from September to the end of June. The class sessions take place on a regular basis, Monday to Friday. Upon successful completion of these modules participants will begin their Final Management Project, normally working part/full time during this final phase. The choice of location for the project is entirely the student’s own.
Foreign Language classes: the Full-Time delivery includes optional foreign language, especially French.
Phase 1 Core courses
The program is a balanced and challenging one, equipping participants with numerical and analytical skills, communication and interpersonal skills, plus insights into current managerial issues in geopolitics, macroeconomics and governance. Through regular group work on cases and individual assignments on management dilemmas, students will develop their expertise in budgetary and financial management as well as in people management. Strategic analysis and Negotiations skills are developed through face-to-face team negotiations to resolve authentic and complex cases.
Personal Development Week in Grenoble each year
Students from each campus are invited to attend this week together, enabling students from 4 centers to network and to attend seminars and conferences together on key management questions. Topics covered typically include Conflict Resolution, Interview Techniques, Radical Career Change, Salary Negotiations, and Effective Leadership.
GMC
The Global Management Challenge simulation is one of the highlights of the core courses. In small teams MBAs will compete in a complex management simulation against leading business and engineering schools, firstly in France followed by international play-offs in the final rounds. The decision-making is intense and the experience is a roller-coaster ride of changing share price, volatile business environments, and exchanges - often heated! - with fellow team members.
From a menu of up to 9 alternative choices students can personalize their MBA program for 20% of their total class sessions. The content is focused on professional management activity, such as Management Consulting, or management in a range of functional areas. For many participants, the specialization (elective) choice will also determine the focus of the Final Management Project: for example choosing a Finance elective can lead directly to a Final Project in the area of Finance.
Phase 3 Final Management Project
During this phase program participants are free to locate to anywhere in the world and to complete their projects while pursuing professional activity. The Project is an opportunity that different students use in different ways. A Full-Time student may use the project as a means of showing a potential employer what they are capable of. For some students, ideas for entrepreneurial ventures can be assessed before the start-up is launched.
