Qualified training that understands the challenges faced by organisations
The pedagogical approach of KEDGE's Global Executive MBA has been revised to train leaders capable of leading transformation projects related to the ecological, energy, societal and digital transition of companies.
In order to understand and manage these transitions, the programme is built around 4 blocks of skills:
- Leading the digital and sustainable transition
- Transforming the value chain to increase efficiency
- Decision-making in times of resilience and rising geopolitical risks
- Managing as an intelligent leader
A change of management
In a context of change, the KEDGE MBA management team is being strengthened with the arrival of Stéphane Ouvrard, Professor of Finance at KEDGE Business School, who will take over the management of the Global Executive MBA taught in France from September 2023. As a chartered accountant, he has spent 15 years of his professional career in auditing, management control and as a partner in a chartered accountancy firm. Stéphane Ouvrard holds a PhD in management science and a post-graduate diploma (HDR). For more than 10 years, he has led executive education sessions in corporate finance in France and abroad on behalf of SMEs and international groups. For the past 2 years, he has specialised in sustainable finance and accounting.
A programme focused on sustainable business management
KEDGE actively participates in the movement to decarbonise corporate business models by aligning all its teaching with the perspective of sustainability. Within the programme, the sustainable dimension is expressed in the educational content offered, the way the programme operates, and the behaviour expected of our trained students.
The EMBA aims to train managers to run sustainable organisations. The programme incorporates the latest requirements of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), which will be implemented in 2025 based on 2024 data by large companies.
A recognised diploma
KEDGE's Global Executive MBA is triple accredited (AMBA/AACSB/EQUIS), ranked 5th in France by the Financial Times 2022, 42nd worldwide and among the top 10 EMBAs in China. It offers a prestigious degree in business administration with a strong international and strategic dimension, in perfect synergy with the current challenges facing organisations. Its AMBA accreditation was renewed in June 2022 for 5 years.
A curriculum perfectly adapted to the schedules of working executives
To enable students to combine their studies with their professional lives, the programme is organised into 8 5-day sessions spread over the entire curriculum and delivered in the form of seminars on our three campuses (Bordeaux, Marseille, Paris). To give professionals greater flexibility, around 30% of the courses are taught online. In addition, 4 immersive seminars are organised at leading companies in terms of ecological and energy transition to provide examples of business models decarbonisation, resilient organisations and customer-centric companies. To facilitate their personal and professional organisation, MBA Participants have full visibility of their schedule in advance (18 to 20 months of training).
A strong international presence
The courses are taught entirely in English by international professionals and professors. The Global EMBA programme includes participation in two 5-day international seminars, at leading partner universities (SDA Bocconi School of Management, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management).
Our partner companies, partner universities, lecturers and international participants give each participant the opportunity to be exposed to different cultures in a professional context, to enhance their adaptation skills.
