Students normally work part- or full-time during this phase and can be based anywhere in the world. Program Content* Year 1 - Campus Year The program is a balanced and challenging one, equipping participants with numerical and analytical skills, communication and interpersonal skills, plus insights into current managerial issues in geopolitics, macroeconomics and governance. Through regular group work on cases and individual assignments on management dilemmas, students will develop their expertise in budgetary and financial management as well as in people management.

Phase 2 - Specializations** From a menu of up to 8 alternative choices, students can personalize their MBA program for 20% of their total class sessions. The Full-Time and Part-Time students from different MBA sites join together in international groups from Grenoble, Berlin, Moscow, and Tbilisi. The content is focused on professional management activity or management in a range of functional areas. For many participants, the specialization choice will also determine the focus of the Final Management Project: for example, choosing a Finance elective can lead directly to a project in the area of Finance. Choice of one specialization (elective) composed of 3 intensive one-week sessions: Management Consulting (Grenoble) International Business Development (Grenoble) Entrepreneurship (Grenoble) Smart and Sustainable Business (Grenoble) Finance & Digital Banking (Grenoble) Digital Marketing (Paris) Project Management (Berlin) Luxury Brand Management (Paris) **Specializations require a minimum number of participants. Year 2 - Final Management Project During the second year of the program, students can be based anywhere in the world and must complete a Final Management Project of approximately 15,000 words in length, under the guidance of a tutor. The Project should be business-oriented and coherent with the program objectives. Students are required to address a particular research question or choose a topic grounded in professional activity or an entrepreneurial venture. Foreign Languages The program is taught in English but provides the possibility to learn a foreign language at the same time. No prior knowledge of French is required to attend the program. Learning a foreign language is a recommended program option for all students who are looking to work internationally. Non-French speakers have the option of studying French (beginner to advanced level), a recommended option for students looking to work in France following their studies. French speakers may choose from a number of other languages at a beginner level. Global Management Challenge Students will participate in this team simulation – a high point of the program. Strongly motivated and culturally diverse teams compete for the best results for their company.

Topics and events covered typically include Conflict Resolution, Interview Techniques, Radical Career Change, Salary Negotiations, and Effective Leaderships. Study Trip to Berlin** The full-time program in Grenoble includes a week’s Study Trip organized with our partners in Berlin, normally taking place in June towards the end of the program.  There are corporate & academic speakers, company visits some cultural sight-seeing, and a GEM post-graduate Alumni meet-up.  Assignments for Strategy and HRM modules are related to some of the Study Trip content.  Flights and hotel accommodation are included in the Grenoble program fees. Study trips available for Grenoble students only. ** International Study Trip is contingent on global conditions and travel restrictions Personal and Professional Development Workshops In addition to the core courses, students have the opportunity to attend personal and professional development workshops led by professionals, industry, and subject matter experts. These will strengthen the employability profiles of graduates to help them achieve their career goals. Students will also have access to individual counseling sessions, interaction with corporate partners, and online resources with jobs and internship opportunities as well as access to specific in-house sectorial career-focused communities. Testimonials "Prior to the MBA, I worked in the Indian pharmaceutical industry, handling doctor and patient programs integral to the marketing function. Through this rich experience, I realized how difficult it is to get even the most basic primary healthcare and medication in developing nations at affordable rates. This revelation inspired me to enroll in the GGSB MBA. In order to get the most out of an MBA, beyond the course content, the setting, experience and type of interactions are of utmost importance. This is why I chose France, which has been at the forefront of building policies and structures for global healthcare, education, and human rights. My most important MBA program criterion was a well-balanced, comprehensive curriculum taught by international faculty and offered by an accredited school of management with a good overall ranking. The class profile was another important factor. Experienced, mature individuals from different backgrounds add value by creating a real understanding of the cultural nuances that play an important role in global business today. GGSB scored in all aspects. After my MBA, I intend to work with pharmaceutical companies wanting to establish mutually beneficial relations with developing nations – especially in Africa – to build efficient systems that make quality, affordable healthcare accessible."
