International residencies for executives

Grenoble Ecole de Management is known for its international scope and expertise in Technology Management. Since 1991, Grenoble Ecole de Management has been a privileged partner in the organization of international residencies for executives. We design tailor-made programs in close cooperation with our partners.

Turnkey Operation

We help program directors to select their itinerary from a wide range of destinations in Europe and
China.

Company visits & Meetings with Local Executives

We organize visits to local and multinational firms in each city. Company presentations are delivered by directors and top managers. The companies we visit are often selected according to the participants’ background. Dinners with local managers, executive receptions and panel discussions can also be organized. These informal events are the perfect opportunity for participants to meet local executives. Frequent company visits include:

Siemens

France Telecom

Hewlett Packard

Caterpillar

Lectures & Presentations by Practitioners & International Faculty

Lectures provide an excellent complement to field visits. Topics include:

an introduction to the business environment of each country visited during the trip,

an update on the European Union, managing cultural differences, the entry of China into the WTO, and others.

In their Words..

"The capstone of the Terry Executive MBA Program is our International Residency. The Grenoble International Executive Education team created a truly memorable experience for us. They provided an ideal mix of lectures, guest speakers, site visits, and cultural excursions. That in total allowed our students to really appreciate the impact that economic, social, regulatory, and cultural factors can have on business practice. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is absolute.”
