Innovation, Leadership & Responsibility
You are a manager and you want to go further, motivate your teams along and have a positive impact on your environment. Our program has been designed to support, inspire and transform you. We want to help you see and discover the best opportunities that come your way. And allow you to consider your world from a new perspective in order to give you the means to use your full potential to shape your environment to your image.
This program is unique, as it is the only Executive Master in Business Administration in Switzerland held in three languages, namely French, English and optionnally in German. We are of the belief that the three major challenges facing the leaders of today are knowing how to anticipate and control change, ensuring continuous innovation within the heart of the company and managing in an increasingly multicultural environment. This multicultural approach extends beyond the three teaching languages with a study trip abroad.
