A Combined Network of Strength and Expertise
In the OneMBA program, participants benefit from
the combined strengths of five different top-ranked
institutions located on four contrasting continents.
This provides a diversity of perspectives and expertise
unequalled by any single institution or program.
Participants in the OneMBA program receive an MBA
degree from their home university and the OneMBA
certificate issued by the five partner schools.
Global Peers, Global Network
There is no global classroom equivalent to the OneMBA
classroom. The OneMBA class is composed of
executives living around the world, from top positions
in companies across multiple industries. Students
work in OneMBA global teams to complete major
global projects, maximizing their experience of
networking and teamwork. With Global Residencies
held in the United States, Europe, Latin America and
Asia, participants gain a network of global contacts
that last a lifetime.
Flexibility for Executives Agendas
The OneMBA program is presented in a modular
format specifically designed for senior executives. Over
21 months, participants attend four week-long global
residencies. Executives attend their home university for
the global and local courses, which are held regularly
at set intervals. Further group work takes place through
virtual communication. This design allows participants
greater flexibility in managing their work agendas.
Globally Relevant Curriculum
The OneMBA curriculum is the only MBA curriculum
designed with equal input from the top faculty of the five
partner schools. This curriculum has been designed to
incorporate the best business practices and diverse
issues pertinent to doing business in each world region.
During the global residencies, participants are taught by
local faculty and visit local companies. In this way,
participants not only learn global business: they
experience it.
The First Truly Global MBA
OneMBA uniquely qualifies executives for successin the emerging global economy.

Four global residencies are completed during the
OneMBA program, beginning with the initial residency
in the United States and followed by residencies in
Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Unlike the usual study
trips offered by other programs. In the OneMBA global
residencies, participants from all five partner schools are
in attendance, providing a truly unique cross-cultural
learning experience.
During the first three residencies, participants meet and
get to know their global teammates, with whom they will
work on projects assigned in the OneMBA global courses:
Leading and Managing the Global Organization, Global
Operations, Global Finance, Global Marketing, and Global
Strategy. In addition to the unique opportunity to work
with their peers – accomplished executives from around
the world – the residencies offer an ideal environ ment for
connecting with an international network of ambitious
and impassioned senior managers who currently hold, or
are entering, leadership positions.
OneMBA global residencies offer unparalleled
opportunities to learn from renowned academics,
executives, policy makers and analysts, and from your
OneMBA classmates based in each location. You will
study local business practices with visits to both local
and multi national companies. This deepens your
understanding of international business, and the ways in
which managers operate and succeed around the world.
Cultural and social events provide first-hand insights into
how the practice of business is influenced by history and
culture in each region.
Residencies are continually updated and refined to
expose OneMBA participants to cutting-edge
developments in the world’s most dynamic business
contexts and markets. Prior residencies have been
structured as follows:
USA
OneMBA begins with the Opening Week in the United
States, where participants are immersed in a framework
for analyzing the structure of the global economy and the
challenges and opportunities that globalization offers.
The differences between developed versus developing
economies are examined, as are the challenges of
remaining competitive in the 21st Century global economy
and beyond. The role the United States has played in the
global economy is evaluated, and current imbalances
facing the world’s largest economy are considered. In
past US residencies, senior executives from companies
such as The Coca-Cola Company, AOL, BB&T
Corporation, and Syngenta have shared the challenges
and opportunities faced in sustainable globalization.
EUROPE
The European residency provides a first-hand opportunity
to explore the challenges and opportunities of doing
business within developed and developing economies in
Europe. The challenges posed by regional political and
economic integration are examined, and the European
approach to business is studied. Prior classes have
traveled to developed economies such as the Netherlands,
and to the developing economies of countries like Poland
and Turkey; to keep these visits fresh and up to the
minute, vital new business regions in Eastern Europe and
the Near East are continually sought out. Past residencies
have afforded opportunities for face-to-face exchanges
with senior executives from companies such as Shell,
Heineken, TNT, Novartis Pharma and Greenpeace.
LATIN AMERICA
The Latin American Residency provides a dynamic and
unique opportunity for participants to gain first-hand
exposure to two important developing regional economies:
Brazil and Mexico. Regionally relevant geo-political
issues, such as the contrast between Latin and South
America, and how the history of the region has impacted
business and society in both Mexico and Brazil, are
considered. Leading senior executives from ALPARGATAS
in Brazil and CEMEX in Mexico have addressed past
residencies, and companies visited included Natura in
Brazil and Whirlpool in Mexico.
ASIA
The OneMBA program concludes with an unforgettable
exposure and insight into the world’s fastest growing and
most dynamic developing economies. In recent years,
participants have traveled to China and India where the
business models and contexts necessary to build a national
Global Residencies*
A. Globally Coordinated Courses
Five core courses, designed collaboratively by faculty
members from each of the partner universities, form the
foundation of the OneMBA program. Participants in
each of the five partner schools attend the courses
concurrently at their home university and use a syllabus
of which the global course content is common.
Participants use distance learning technology to work
on major global team projects with team members
from the partner universities. Class time is focused on
interacting with faculty and other executives to share,
interpret and apply new knowledge.
The core courses incorporate best practices and
perspectives from all four continents. Subjects cover
global leadership, operations, marketing, finance and
strategy, and integrate international perspectives from
the four different regions.
Leading and Managing Global Organizations
Managers with effective communication and leadership
skills across cultural differences hold a key competitive
advantage. This course develops leadership and
managerial skills in a global, diverse environment.
The course challenges participants to reflect on the
impact of culture on personal and organizational
effectiveness.
Global Operations Management
This course focuses on aligning the operations strategy
with the overall business strategy, with an emphasis on
process analysis and supply chain management.
Participants are acquainted with the concepts and
techniques related to designing, planning, driving,
and monitoring service and manufacturing operations
in a global economy.
Global Marketing Management
Effective and successful global marketing balances
global integrated strategies with defined local needs.
This course focuses on understanding competitive
rationality, advantage and complexities in relation to global
marketing communication decisions. Participants analyze
multinational organizations and their aim to create long-
term customer satisfaction across a global market.
Corporate Finance in a Global Environment
Maximizing corporate value in a global environment
requires a clear framework integrated with a range of
international financial concepts. In this course,
participants cover these key elements and develop an
understanding of the interaction of financial policy with
corporate strategy. They develop the ‘financial mindset’
to analyze, plan and make real-world financial decisions
in the context of regional and global team projects.
Strategy in a Global Arena
A key challenge in developing a global business
strategy is being able to effectively align an organization’s
resources with its long-term goals, while considering
converging global forces and local variations.
This course uses global teams to facilitate discussions
and analysis of the strategic challenges and choices faced
by firms in the global environment.
Participants learn to identify, assess and critically evaluate
the strategic behavior of multinational businesses.
B. Regional Courses
One third of the curriculum is built on courses designed
to prepare participants for the business issues and
challenges pertinent to their particular region. Each of
the partner universities selects courses that have proven
valuable success in that region.
Local Classes*
economy are compared and contrasted. Within the current
rebalancing of the global economy and the shift from West
to East, this final residency provides the perfect backdrop
against which to consider the future of global business.
Participants in this residency have enjoyed addresses by
senior executives from major multinationals, as well as a
visit to Jetta Industries in China.
Corporate Return
Participants of the OneMBA can immediately apply the
new skills, knowledge and perspectives gained during
the program in their jobs.
Fellow students, faculty and corporate contacts provide
a network of resources of immediate value for current
company issues or challenges. Multinational corporations
that send a team of executives from around the world
qualify as OneMBA Corporate Partners and can request
that one of the teams consist of their employees.
As a substitute for one of the global team assignments,
this team can address a critical international issue facing
the company and help develop a strong in-company
global team.
6
Global Teamwork
OneMBA participants work as part of both a local team
and as a series of three different global teams. Each
global course involves the completion of an assignment,
requiring team members to integrate local projects from
each of the regions into global perspectives. This entails
managing cultural differences and logistical issues
resulting from working across multiple time zones –
a process that mirrors real-world business relations.
Participants are executives living and working around the
world, who bring a rich diversity of cultures, expectations
and experiences to the program. This creates a unique
and effective environment for developing a global
mindset, as well as cross-cultural leadership skills.
To maximize the experience of networking and global
teamwork, the global teams are reorganized during the
Global Residencies.

For those considering participating in the OneMBA, gaining their company’s support is
vital. Participants are away from work while attending classes and residencies. However,
companies receive immediate benefits from their employee’s renewed focus, knowledge
and networks. Full or partial corporate financial support is recommended, but not required.
Corporate Perspective
For the OneMBA, companies usually consider:
- Mid- to senior-level managers
- Employees with strong potential to advance into senior executive roles
- Employees whose career path reflects increasing responsibilities that require
OneMBA skills and knowledge
Employee Perspective
Employees considering the OneMBA program must be highly motivated to increase
their corporate value. Preparing a formal request for sponsorship will increase the chance of
gaining corporate support. See www.OneMBA.org for examples of personalized requests for
your home region.
Self-sponsored Perspective
Professionals may sponsor themselves. They should consider the time required and how
participation will affect their company.

and compete around the globe. Today, more than 80 percent of OneMBA alumni are part of the LinkedIn network.

THE ONEMBA DIFFERENCE“I was initially attracted to OneMBA’s focus on globalization and training globalexecutive leaders. But beyond that, OneMBA also emphasizes corporate socialresponsibility. During the European residency, we studied the benefits andchallenges of corporate sustainability practices. In Latin America, we saw first-handhow organizations were working to create a stronger local economy by improvingthe welfare of the poor. I don’t think you would find this emphasis in a typicalMBA program. That’s what impressed me most about OneMBA.”Fanny Ching OneMBA Class of 2007, CUHK
