1 THE WORLD EXECUTIVE MBA

2 A WAY FORWARD IN A CROSS-BORDER WORLD Whether you are currently operating as a cross-border executive or stepping up into this role, you know that managing complexity in a changing world is critical to the success of your company, your team and your career. You also know that doing business internationally is subject to an increasingly broad range of challenges. Geopolitical tensions, corporate governance issues, highly volatile business and financial markets, local market idiosyncracies; these combined with digital convergence and technological disruption, are changing the landscape in which you need to make important decisions every day. Leading in a cross-border world is about navigating through this uncertainty. And that means being able to create a framework for highly complex problems, simplify solutions and communicate them across your organization. You need a deep understanding of how business is done locally; and to be able to communicate effectively, with cultural sensitivity, and the capacity to inspire. Because underpinning your successful business relationships is your ability to create confidence, trust and commitment. And to engage your clients, your suppliers and your teams to deliver the necessary results. We have designed this program to help prepare you to meet these challenges. Fully global in scope and vision, The World Executive MBA is the result of many years of deep conversations with business leaders from all over the world. So whether your focus is east to west, north to south or both, the program will immerse you in the different ways cross-border business is done now and in the future. When your company looks to you for guidance, you will have the decision-making tools, the deeper insights and the broader global outlook to lead through these times of uncertainty. Today and tomorrow.

On completion of the program, you will graduate with a dual degree from CEIBS and IESE.
