International MBA 

Jingna Zhu 

Every day, the world of business becomes increasingly global. This means companies ranging from huge corporations to tiny startups can access and connect with people all over the world. This has many advantages, but also new challenges.
Professionals are now expected to not only have technical skills, but also be able to work across cultures, manage diverse teams, and adapt to new environments quickly. 
These skills are something emlyon business school enables its students to harness, catapulting their global careers. 
For Jingna Zhu, emlyon’s International MBA allowed her to take the 10 years of technical skills she had in gaming and tech in China and apply them in an entirely new culture in Malmö, Sweden. 

A Revenue Manager, also known as a Yield manager, is responsible for maximizing a company's income by optimizing pricing strategies, forecasting demand, and managing inventory availability. Operating across industries such as hospitality, airlines, and e-commerce, the Revenue Manager analyzes market trends, competitor pricing, and customer behavior to make data-driven decisions.

Core revenue manager responsibilities include setting dynamic pricing models, monitoring key performance indicators such as RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room, a key hotel performance metric calculated by dividing total room revenue by the number of available rooms) and occupancy rates, collaborating with sales and marketing teams, and producing revenue forecasts.

This role requires strong analytical skills, proficiency with revenue management systems (RMS), and a deep understanding of market dynamics. The Revenue Manager plays a strategic role in ensuring sustainable profitability, acting as a key bridge between operational teams and senior commercial leadership.
