Presentation
The Executive MBA (EMBA) enables managers to integrate contemporary business issues and anticipate future challenges in their decision-making and management. The acceleration of transformations and changes requires executives and managers to have a greater capacity to analyse the issues at stake and to interpret and act quickly in order to adapt the strategy of their organisations. Participants in this Executive MBA programme develop their analytical and methodological skills. They learn to deploy a systemic approach that incorporates creativity. They develop their design and conception skills to facilitate collective intelligence, broaden the scope of their analysis and bring out innovative strategies and solutions. They learn to work in a collaborative and agile way and to adopt the posture of a responsible, value-driven leader.
