MBA

I wake up early.I capture a thousand ideas, shake and share them,focus and turn good ones into opportunities.I move forward to make it happen, try, fail, do it again, make it work and improve it with the help of others.

I am morethan an entrepreneur.I am a maker.

Entrepreneurs are makers, we makeentrepreneurs

The digital revolution impacts on all sectors of activity. Professions are changing at unprecedented speeds. It is estimated that 60% of the professions exercised in 2030 do not yet exist. emlyon business school’s mission is to teach you - as managers, executives, directors and entrepreneurs - to live in today’s unstable, unpredictable, constantly changing world and to seize upon as many opportunities as possible.

What are the skills you need to acquire in this context, to evolve swiftly and successfully in tomorrow’s world?

The first skill is definitely your ability to anticipate and adapt to changes in your environment. This expertise falls within the field of emotional intelligence and involves taking account of issues relating to culture, human relations and collaborative work.

A second crucial skill in this digital era is knowing how to adapt to the multiplicity of information out there. Not only learn to manage the information overload and sheer multitude of media and applications, but also learn to be a visible participant in this bustling mass of information.

Another key strength in this new and highly virtual world is the ability to make things a reality. For this, teaching and action need to go hand in hand. The entrepreneur of tomorrow will be a maker; you will need to be a maker. You will need to be one of those who try, experiment, fail, start again and learn as they go along. One of those who manage to do things and do them quickly. Those who know how to anticipate, brainstorm, cultivate ideas, see before others and accomplish faster than others.

Through teaching, you should be made aware of the importance of developing social and collective intelligence in a network. The possibilities for bringing together knowledge, expertise, ideas and resources are infinite… as long as you know how to work with crowdsourcing, crowdfunding and crowdinnovation.

Within this new environment, the finest entrepreneurial adventures will stem from your ability to build a project in a global and digital world, using a collective approach that goes beyond the confines of a company, uniting talented people from different walks of life.

Our transformative goal is about helping you live in a complex, uncertain world, and be capable of leading successful,

principled change, anchored in solid values. A world class MBA needs to take into account these challenges and be

able to manage the transformations that these challenges require.

Being exposed to both virtual and real-life cases ofbusiness creation is an invaluable learning experience. As many of our MBA candidates are current or future entrepreneurs, we decided to go a step further and co-create a start up experience with our incubator(950 companies created, 85% survival rate after 5 years, more than 11,000 jobs created).For our young professionals, we provide a “newventure course” during which they create virtual companies and the best team joins business plan .and business case competitions in North America and Europe.

innovateIn an ever-changing environment, asking the right questions, and not taking everythingfor granted, is key.Our MBA participants start with a Design Thinking seminar + MOOC that enables themto solve complex issues by asking the right questions and experiencing a transdisciplinary creative approach, including arts, sociology & philosophy. Become more than just a problem solver, become a sense maker!

create

“There is no learning without action and no action without learning” that is why all MBA participants join an Entrepreneurial Leadership Project (full time and fast track MBA) or a strategic initiative project (Executive MBA). The objective is to tackle complex issues and apply MBA knowledge either as a part time consultant in an external company or in their own company. Action learning has been the backbone of our MBA for more than 10 years.

act

Contribute to a better world through a responsible, sustainable approach. Putting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at the heart of all our actions is a given; it encompasses the way we interact with others (responsible leadership), the way we manage our organizations and deal with the environment (the whole ecosystem). That is why many courses and business games take into account di�erent aspects (economic and social performance, integrative seminar with a real life case). We also provide a CSR platform and make use of learning trips especially in Finland to experience and applythe approach.

contribute

Self awareness and collective intelligence are the two pillars for successful leadership. Through our leadership and personal development track for the Executive MBA and our organizational behaviour and HR courses for both formats, MBA participants will take time for introspective examination and development of their managerial competencies. Career workshops and coaching will help them enhance their career and all debriefings will create a collective intelligencemindset.

your MBA, why? because you want to go to the next levelBy Fabienne Autier, HR professor and researcher at emlyon business school

Motivation evolves through age.A professional life is structured around 3 main periods each inaugurated by a specific «rendez-vous».The first «rendez-vous» is our first full-time job (1).The second «rendez-vous» is our first motivational crisis (2).The third «rendez-vous» is our second major motivational crisis, commonly refered to as the mid life crisis (3).In between those RDV, 3 dominant levers drive our motivation.

Obligations-Learning professional

behaviors and technical skills

through action, repetition and

mimetism (we are driven by

peer recognition and sense of

belonging).

Aspirations-What was once the source of

our motivation is now source of

de-motivation (we are driven by

a need for self-knowledge and an

urge of making a useful

contribution to the world).

Initiatives-Learning of initiative taking,

whether hierarchical, functional,

project, aside (we are driven by

professional progression, peer

and hierarchical recognition,

compensation).

1Project-based learning with the Entrepreneurial Leadership Project

“Undoubtably, the most exciting experience during my MBA was ELP (Entrepreneurial Leadership Project).

Moreover, the findings of this project are fully applicable to my present job.”-Margarita Bolganova // Russian graduate

I am convinced that this experience will continue to yield benefits to my career for years to come. I definitely recommend taking part in an exchange to new MBA participants!”-Agnes Nagy // Hungarian graduate in 2013 // Country Marketing Manager QIAGEN

After the seminar 100% of the 2015-2016 participants would recommend this transdisciplinary method to generate relevant and efficient innovation. They said:

“I plan to phase the project we have with my executive committee of rethinking our business model following main design thinking steps: broad gathering of information, definition of a position which shows our shared values and identifying and validating our key work hypothesis before entering the problem solving phase. It may help us building a real good strategy.”

“Very interesting, seems a bit strange at first sight but you will have a complete different overview after the course.”

“I found this course very interesting and I discovered that there was a method to generate creativity for companies, to create innovation for products, for organization and for markets! I will try to use this method to create competitive advantage for my company.”

at the heart of the executive MBA, let’s focus on 5 examples of innovative experience

In a complex and changing environment, the ability to ask the

right questions is becoming a competitive advantage, that

is why our MBA participants start the program with a design

thinking seminar that represents a face-to-face course + MOOC

& team presentations.

This seminar enables our participants to solve complex issues by:

• Asking the right questions

• Experiencing a transdisciplinary creative approach, based on

sociology, science, philosophy and arts

• Developing sense making versus problem solving approach

Our credo: sense making, working with others, be a maker,

creating (new businesses, new ideas, new processes).

1Design thinking innovative approach

22

As many of our MBA candidates are current or future entrepreneurs, we decided to co-construct a start up experience with our incubator (Ranked the No. 1 incubator in france, 950 companies created, 85% survival rate after 5 years, more than 11,000 jobs created). Our participants will have an entrepreneur toolkit (value creation, business modeling and business planning, among others).

Executive MBA participants are exposed to entrepreneurship in diverse situations- The emlyon business school incubator will enable participants

to share experience and feedback with stakeholders involved,

including business angels, incubator teams and founders who

will help them understand how the incubator works, apprehend

the model and consider applying it to their own project (current

or future project).

Dedicated courses as “entrepreneurial dynamics” or “corporate entrepreneurship”

- During the course “entrepreneurial dynamics”, participants

will be exposed to the concepts of value creation, business

modeling and business planning, among others. Emphasis

will be placed on learning through shared experiences with

current start-ups from emlyon business school incubator and

experienced entrepreneurs and experts. You will continue to

broaden your international perspectives and emphasis on

entrepreneurship if you choose the elective “Entrepreneurial

European Journeys”.

World Entrepreneurship Forum - The World Entrepreneurship Forum is the world’s leading

think tank devoted to entrepreneurs as key creators of wealth

and social justice. An emlyon business school initiative, it is

a community of 250 members from 70 countries who meet

every year to find entrepreneurial solutions to the world’s most

pressing issues.

2 Strong focus on entrepreneurship

23

3 Learning trips: experience other economic systems

visit foreign and local companies in Shanghai, attend workshops and lectures, interact with local board members and CEOs and reflect on what you have learned. Continue to broaden your international perspectives with your colleagues if you choose to join the entrepreneurial journeys in Europe. You will put into practice your investigative skills. Thinking globally is an inherent part of our EMBA, together with the learning trip to Shanghai as part of the core course “International Strategy”.

The individual strategic project is also a major part of the EMBA. Each participant works directly with an executive project sponsor. The project is divided into multiple phases based on the creative problem solving process.This allows each participant to apply what he or she has learned in the classroom. A faculty member serves as a tutor and provides feedback about appropriate methodologies and models. finally, each participant has to produce a Master’s thesis to be presented in front of a jury.

This project is an outstanding opportunity to make your environment aware of your new skills- Some possible project themes:

• Business plan for setting up/buying a business

• Global strategy focusing on a specific country

• Strategies for diversification

• External growth project

• Change management

“If I had to sum up the emlyon business school EMBA in three words, they would be: innovation, entrepreneurship and self-awareness. This EMBA allowed me to succeed both personally and professionally.”-Otmane Bensaid // graduate in 2011 // Supply Chain Director at Lafarge Maroc

“I was very interested by international strategy, the analysis of foreign market, especially the emerging country, it was really fascinating. Our learning trip in China was very rich of content, I learnt a lot on local economic reality.”-Raffaella GIARDINO // graduated in 2015 // Executive Director Culture Media Franchise bioMérieux

Deepen and customizewith electives

Joining an MBA program means transforming yourself, developing your managerial impact and managing complexity and diversity.Based on positive psychology, team building models and collective intelligence, the leadership and personal development track will start at the very beginning of the program - a good way to “let things go and be yourself” - and will support you throughout your journey.It will help you assess your strengths, lead your team to high collective performance and promote a sustainable leadership posture.

The track is organized into three modules, excellence and self

development, high performing teams and responsible leadership.

These modules are complemented by semi-collective coaching

workshops. This unique resource accompanies you through

the key stages of your personal development track and can be

complemented by electives such as “optimize your personal

impact, based on MBTI” “Think out of the box”, “Improve your

communication skills”…

All these sessions provide an opportunity for valuable face-to-

face communication in small groups, managed by leadership

professors and experienced executive coaches.

“I had a very strong human experience for two years. Initially I did not think this training would also allow me to set back from my professional life and my working methods. I did not imagine I would benefit from such a personal development provided by the team work and sharing of life experiences with the other members of the course.”-Yannick Parent // graduate in 2010 // Plant Manager at Hexcel Corp in Cambridge

“I asked myself many questions, including about the interest for me, who work since six years in a company, to gain experience elsewhere. But the coaching realised by a high-quality professional allowed me to take a step back, to put my project into perspective and to reinforce my wish to make this company grow while consolidating its independence.”-Ségolène Moyrand // graduate in 2013 // Group Communication Manager at Gattefosse

“fast track”

“I was lucky enough to complete a «Fast Track» Executive MBA. I say «lucky» because I think that a «professional sabbatical» in a career is a real luxury and I would recommend it to everyone who gets the chance.I found a position that matched my search criteria shortly after finishing the MBA. This MBA certainly played a major role in my recruitment and today I am experiencing the benefits of this year, mainly in terms of my business understanding and in my ability to challenge and make proposals for strategic decisions within the group.”-Claire Cavallucci // graduate in 2016 // Human Resources Director // Abeo Group

Three clusters of excellence- emlyon business school is furthering its development and

performance strategy by structuring its centers of academic

excellence around three key clusters: Entrepreneurship & Growth, Work and Organizations and Lifestyle and Consumption.

experts and theme-driven research centers, businesses and

partner institutions, alongside dedicated training programs.

They address three essential aspects of the economy:

innovation, work and consumption, examining each of them in

terms of change and transformation.

The scope for investigation is vast and includes a wide range

of factors with which students, managers and businesses are

and will be confronted.

inventing the smarter business school with IBM

Accelerating digital transformation

Faced with the dual challenges of globalisation and an increasingly

digital world, emlyon business school is moving on from traditional

models of education. Its ambition is to offer truly customised,

digitally-based training 24/7, all around the globe.

To create this new, cloud-based, global learning environment,

emlyon business school signed a partnership agreement with

IBM in January 2015. Students, faculty, alumni and partners can

all now access content adapted to their own specific needs using

smartphones, tablets, PCs and collaborative technologies.

The transformation of emlyon business school will unfold over a

five year period from 2015 to 2019. It will be based on the ‘Learning

Management System’ or LMS, a collaborative platform open to

students, graduates, educators and the school’s business partners.

Customised content will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a

week from all mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, as

well as more conventional PCs. The whole system will run in an IBM

cloud environment providing both continuous global accessibility

and high levels of security.

By 2019-2020 emlyon business school will be able to offer its

entire community a learning environment where all participants will

not just learn but will be the initiators of learning. An environment

where Big Data and analytics will optimise the flow of information

and constantly add to all aspects of a student’s knowledge and

skill-set. An environment where digital will allow educators to

exchange the lecture room for small, interactive learning groups.

An environment of genuine added value.

“Being a Smarter Business School means getting data out of its silos and using it to provide students with customised content, both while they are at the school and throughout their working lives. This goal will become a reality thanks to our partnership with IBM.”

DANIEL EvANS // Chief Innovation Officer, emlyon business school

Studying on an emlyon business school campus is a life

experience filled with innovation. emlyon business school campuses have been totally redesigned and are places

of learning which offer state-of-the-art technological

resources. They are also fun, social places to live, work,

connect, eat, enjoy and relax.

Innovative rooms to reinvent future teaching- All emlyon business school campuses have a number of

innovative tools for learning, exchanging and creating:

Creativity & Learning Hub, Learning Lab, interactive

whiteboards, whiteboard walls, Apple TV/tablet, creativity

boards and more… A reflection of innovative teaching,

these facilities augur the teaching of tomorrow where

school is not only a place for learning, but also a place

where we learn to learn, to deconstruct and reconstruct

knowledge.

Development of FabLabs based on the I.D.E.A program

model. The FabLab lets us visibly perceive an innovation

in the form of a tangible or intangible model. In short, it

is a place to discuss projects and make them a reality, to

make “just about everything”. The FabLab is a forum for

learning and training, a platform for social, digital and

economic innovation, a community of resources, skills and

training.

Online living and leisure areas to work everywhere,

differently…

Bright, spacious work areas and specialised food

establishments are available so that each person can eat

how they want, whether standing, seated, alone or in a

group and also work if they want from log-in points. They

can also relax in the quieter areas or even play in furnished

video game zones.

Creativity & Learning Hubs- A clear example of the school’s changing learning methods

in terms of the impact of digital but also changes in use.

• Individual or collaborative work spots (walk-in or

bookable), discussion rooms.

• Restaurant facilities and gaming room / Inspired by the

new workspaces of Silicon Valley startups.

• Brain Bubbles / Transparent bubbles used as meeting

rooms.

• Connected and innovative furniture• Content curation / This technology is used to select, edit

and share the most relevant content for a given subject

to aid theoretical learning.

• Datawiz Wall / This wall shows Learning Hub users

a real-time animated display of e-book reading

and consultation in libraries throughout the world

(Scholarvox database). An intuitive control console

enables visitors to search for a book and project its

content directly onto the wall. The integration of its

theme-based context suggests new titles to consult.
