Modern business paradigms are more dynamic than any other time in the human history. To sail a business organization in the ever-changing environment, a manager needs to be equipped with deep functional and integrative perspective in both local and global business settings.
Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) at the Department of Management Studies (DoMS), Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) is a two-year degree program aimed at providing mid- career working professionals with functional and integrative perspective to imbibe contemporary management knowledge to lead a modern business organization.
Learning is most effective and fun when it is immersive! A new addition to the EMBA curriculum is the inclusion of an International Immersion Learning Program that offered the students a 10 day hands-on learning experience in one of the prestigious institutions abroad – IESEG School of Management, Paris.
The core focus of the program was on “Global Leadership and Cultural Intelligence”. This program saw the students cover a plethora of experiences across the region of Northern France and Belgium, namely, Lille and Brussels.
Classroom sessions by Professors of IESEG School were combined with field visits:
Beyond the academic realm, at IESEG, we also immersed ourselves in the vibrant culture of the campus community. The friendships we cultivated and the diverse backgrounds of our peers enriched our understanding of global perspectives even further. Each interaction, each conversation, and each cultural exchange broadened our horizons and helped us appreciate the beauty of our differences.
