International MBA:
The Essential MBA
for Entrepreneurial Leaders
Today’s economic conditions require companies to recruit
entrepreneurial leaders that can find and develop opportunities, adapt
quickly to circumstances, marshal necessary resources, and build
effective relationships. Fully in line with this market demand and
continuously evolving management techniques, the International MBA
programme is entirely dedicated to helping a select group of individuals
become entrepreneurial leaders worldwide.
The values upon which EMLYON’s mission statement ‘Educating
Entrepreneurs for the World’ is based are an integral part of the
programme’s curriculum. Being part of the International MBA is about
developing the mind set of an entrepreneur and acquiring the academic
knowledge that will help you successfully navigate the various business
environments you will encounter throughout your entire career.
In addition, this intensive full-time one-year programme is focused
on helping you reach the professional goals you have set for yourself,
and offers a comprehensive and individualised approach to career
management. Your exposure to the programme’s emphasis on
entrepreneurship, the year-long consulting project and the international
diversity in student body and faculty will help you develop the skills you
need to achieve success as you yourself define it.
I look forward to welcoming you to EMLYON Business School.

“I chose the MBA
at EMLYON for one
reason: it was the focus on entrepreneurship
and I really wasn’t disappointed. Two major things stand
out in my mind as to the focus on entrepreneurship for
the MBA Programme. First was the entrepreneurship
seminars we began the year with, focusing on identifying
entrepreneurial opportunities, implementing those
opportunities and financing them. And then, I had the
privilege to take part in a business plan competition in
Austin Texas where we actually represented one of the
start ups in the EMLYON Incubator, at the competition
which was a wonderful experience. We got to meet a lot of
entrepreneurs and financers and I really had a great time.”

our International MBA participants, with an average of 6 years
experience, are familiar with how companies work, how information
flows, reporting relationships and office politics. Internships are
great for exposing younger, less experienced students to these
aspects of work life. The Entrepreneurial Leadership Project, as
an outcome-based experienced, provides a better environment for
International MBAs than a behaviour-based internship. The project
