Global EMBA Programme

02 Global EMBA Programme

INSEAD is the only school that offers a modular Global Executive MBA programme (GEMBA) in fully integrated campuses across three regions: Europe (France), Asia (Singapore) and the Middle East (Abu Dhabi). GEMBA offers experienced executives an intensive 14 to 17-month fast-track to the top via one of the worlds most prestigious and multicultural business schools.

Each class has an unparalleled diversity of nationalities, enabling participants to learn from each other and build a close-knit yet globally distributed network. Another unique feature is the Leadership Development Programme (LDP) which includes a programme-long schedule of group coaching, 360-degree assessments and team activities, designed to develop a leadership style that is authentic to you thus accelerating your career progress even further.

Programme Overview

The programme takes place on the INSEAD campuses in Europe, Asia and the Middle East with initial regional focus depending on the section you choose. You will also have opportunities to network with the other sections when they all come together mid-way through the programme for the electives and Key Management Challenge courses.

Independent Study Time

In addition to the time spent on campus, equivalent to 12 working weeks, you will also need to allow at least 5 weeks in total for independent study: preparation for classes, writing 6 essays, your final project and peer work- shadowing. This adds up to about 10 to 12 hours of homework a week.

The GEMBA curriculum combines theory and practice, hard skills and soft skills. The idea is to make an impact on your work from the Monday after the first module to the day you retire. However, the GEMBA is not simply an intensive business programme. It is an intense all-round experience and you are required to attend and prepare for all modules without exception, as well as complete a substantial volume of work between modules.

Core Courses

The first half of the programme comprises 11 core courses which cover the fundamentals of business disciplines that all leaders need:

CorporateFinance FinancialAccounting InternationalPoliticalAnalysis LeadingTeamsandOrganisations Macroeconomics ManagerialAccounting Marketing PricesandMarkets ProcessandOperationsManagement Strategy Uncertainty,DataandJudgement

Curriculum

Elective Courses

Elective courses take place on INSEADs Fontainebleau campus over two weeks in July. The electives allow you to go deeper into some of the disciplines covered in the core courses and to explore a few new areas, depending on your personal interests.

Sample elective courses: AdvancedCorporateFinance BrandManagement CorporateEntrepreneurship Power&PoliticsinOrganisations PsychologyofLeadership Strategy,StructureandIncentives

Key Management Challenges

We recognise that real-life management does not always fall neatly into business school subject departments. This is why we devised the Key Management Challenges (KMC) as innovativecourses to cover broader, multi-disciplinary, company-wide issues.

Leadership Development Programme

Academic Content

INSEAD offers a comprehensive programme-within-a-programme that follows and shapes your personal and professional development and runs throughout your time as an EMBA participant and beyond. The Leadership Development Programme (LDP) is founded on the belief that leadership is much more than management. Todays leaders must strike a balance between reflection and action to help their organisations adapt to the unknown.

They must be flexible, aware of the context and able to adjust their leadership style to the situation. Just as importantly, they must know themselves and understand their impact on others. Delivered by the INSEAD Global Leadership Centre, the LDP combines a wide range of innovative learning methods designed to further cultivate your leadership style.

LDP Elements

Career Development

GEMBA participants have diverse needs for career support. You may be part of an organisation where you are already on your way to building a successful career, or you may be looking to advance your career in a new organisation or a new field. In other words, you require a customised approach to professional development.

We address both your internal-career needs (making the most of your career within your present organisation) and your external-career needs (making a change outside your organisation). In both cases, INSEAD is recognised by companies worldwide as a key source of talent and career development.

Our rigorous admissions process is designed to ensure the best possible fit between you and the INSEAD GEMBA. Throughout the process, we will be looking for qualities and criteria that we know make the best participants.

Admissions Criteria

Academic CapacityYou must have a sound academic foundation (preferably a bachelors degree or equivalent from a recognised college or university) and a demonstrated aptitude for business studiessupported by the GMAT or the INSEAD EMBA Admissions Test. The INSEAD EMBA Admissions Test is held monthly across our three campuses.

Strong Leadership Potential We look for applicants who can demonstrate their potential as leaders. Therefore, your professional experience and past performance will be considered when assessing your application. Participants in our current class have an average of 13 years of work experience, with at least three years in a management role in charge of teams and/or projects. More important than the length of your experience, however, is the quality of your accomplishments and motivation through career evolution.

International OutlookWe attract applicants with cross-cultural sensitivity and those who have lived, worked or studied abroad or who are working for international companies or have global responsibilities for clients, suppliers, etc.

Ability to Contribute to the INSEAD ExperienceWe look for participants who will contribute proactively and share the insights they have gained throughout their professional and personalexperience. It is our belief that a substantial part of your learning will be shaped by your interaction with your fellow classmates and your active participation both inside and outside the classroom.
