O On June 30th 2009, Ceram Business School and the ESC Lille School of Management announced their merger declaring their intention to launch an ambitious project unique in France: a business school aimed at training the deciders of tomorrow s world, a more responsible and more ethical world, where interconnected hubs will be working together in the knowledge economy. For the first time in France, two high calibre institutions have decided to achieve this ambition together. Our new institution holds three core ideas in common: - Firstly we know that your future lies more and more in your capacity to understand how to make the most of a multicultural and international world; - Secondly, we are convinced that the combined strength of our respective institutions and their different localities guarantee our continuing international development; - Finally, we know that our sharing these strengths gives us the leading edge in deploying our pioneering international project. To sum up, now is the ideal time for both schools to move on; to create a new identity forged from our respective DNA and our common values. We want to create a school for leadership with campuses worldwide. We want to train future decision makers who understand their environment, who can adapt to it and initiate sustainable action. We want our school to be an international reference among business schools: a reference which is innovative and different with a clear vision of the knowledge economy as the new business environment. All this lies behind the creation of... For each of you, SKEMA will mean more choice, greater opportunities, a larger number of professors, increased learning opportunities and enhanced individual contact with professors and other staff. At SKEMA you will experience ambitious, innovative and original ways of teaching and learning. SKEMA Business School is already the largest French business school in terms of student numbers and second largest for the number of professors. Its budget matches its ambitions, and during the months to come the combined potential of the founding schools will be called into play for the lasting benefit of current and future students. Our project is an opportunity for all of us. I am sure you have understood that your education, your success and your self-fulfilment lie at the very heart of SKEMA s development strategy and I know that all the teams on the different SKEMA campuses share my personal commitment to helping you make the most of this opportunity. Alice GUILHON Dean SKEMA: a name with universal values The word comes from the ancient Greek skhêma signifying a form, a figure or the constitution of an object. This gave the Latin schema, and later the French schéma or scheme. For the school, the name refers to the new mental schemas and methodologies which we must adopt if we are to succeed in the business world of the 21st century. SKEMA, the Management School for the Knowledge Economy. This clear statement of the school s mission ensures worldwide visibility while reinforcing our basis in business education. The atypical and eye-catching letter K conveys the brand s strength and its ambition to construct knowledge through innovative teaching and learning. It shows also our break with tradition, differentiating the brand while recalling what it stands for: Knowledge. Message from the Dean 01 <

Vision - Ambition Knowledge makes the difference A school for leadership with campuses worldwide to train the decision makers of the knowledge economy. These pioneers will understand and adapt to their environment generating sustainable performance. The company environment has changed radically giving rise to new expectations, and needs decision makers with a different profile. This is the world of the knowledge economy. Twenty-first century companies will need to be responsible, intelligent, adaptable and innovative. This is the challenge of the knowledge economy where man is back at the centre of things. This new economy means: - reinforced globalisation; - a need for continuous innovation and a growing share of non-material elements, like brands, services and information, which will make the difference between winning and losing in business; - a greater need for education and training to provide companies with human resources capable of innovating and managing to keep ahead of new challenges. This is why knowledge management and information systems are two essential components of the knowledge economy without them, companies cannot remain competitive. If companies want to activate these factors of competitiveness, they must also master the management of human resources, innovation and the immaterial... and they must not neglect their impact on the environment. Sustainable development is now at the heart of company strategy along with other societal expectations. Companies must manage risk and social and environmental responsibility. This means exploiting their possibilities whilst managing their negative effects. Our students will benefit from learning in a school where developments in the knowledge economy are central to the research carried out by faculty. SKEMA s programmes reflect our vision of tomorrow s world, a world whose opportunities are yours. Multicultural leaders prepared for a world with shifting centres of gravity, where cultures mix and diversify. We live in a global economy where the economic and political centres of gravity have shifted. We must now take account of the total reorganisation of the world economy which is being played out before our eyes today. The future of education lies in breaking down barriers and mixing between cultures. Future leaders must be able to network; they must be mobile and able to work with many different cultures. They must know how to negotiate with each nationality on his or her home territory, adapting to each new experience and learning to adapt to the next. We will continue to develop our international exchanges with partner universities, but we also wish to develop our own campuses across the globe wherever tomorrow s economy is on the march; this is because nothing can replace the direct experience of an internship in another country. We think that this is the best possible way to learn how to be truly international. Since September 2009 SKEMA students have had access to five campuses on several continents. In 2010, a new campus in the United States will enlarge our students choice of destinations abroad. For this we have chosen another highly internationalized school with French campuses and 35 % > 02 Vision Ambition

This will enable our students to live in a complex global environment using English as a common language within a culturally diverse student community. Educating tomorrow s decision makers through a flexible system offering real choice to learners. > Producing ethical decision makers who are aware of their responsibilities and whose actions make a difference. > Being part of SKEMA does not mean only learning the basics of good management. It also means learning about corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. > Decision makers in line with new management practices who have learned through new pedagogical practices. SKEMA also means expertise for the future: innovative project management, information management, knowledge management and the management of client relations, management in a globalized system, mergers and acquisitions, risk management... Another of our basic tenets is that graduates should have dual skills. This has always been a strong feature of the founding schools of SKEMA. We wish to reinforce it to make sure that our graduates arrive on the job market with the best possible prospects for their chosen career. Creating a new business school means creating a new model of teaching and learning. Core to this is the use of multimedia technologies and the Internet to improve the quality of courses and facilitate access to resources and services. It also means working in collaboration, often at a distance, enabling students to develop skills that will help them to continue learning long after their schooldays are over. Students define their own learning path and become masters of their own education. Independence and freedom are SKEMA s watchwords. We want to transform the system, where students learn a pre-configured course syllabus, to an environment where each student chooses his or her own learning path. But students are not left to sink or swim. They are guided to independence by a group of specialists who include managers, career advisors, professors, and alumni. Vision Ambition 03 <

At Home Worldwide Lille Paris La Villette Paris La Défense Skema Business School has five campuses: in France (Lille, Paris La Villette, Paris La Défense, Sophia Antipolis), China (Suzhou) and Morocco (Casablanca). The campuses are located in well-known science parks or business centres and offer students exceptional opportunities and career prospects. Plans for future campuses are under way: the USA (2010), India and Brazil. Lille, the hub of Europe The Nord-Pas de Calais region is the youngest and most highly populated region of France. Lille is the biggest and the most thriving student city outside Paris. Northern France offers a dynamic business environment and hosts the largest number of headquarters of leading companies after Paris. The Nord-Pas de Calais is also the biggest centre for the mail-order industry in Europe; the region attracts the most foreign investment, is the second biggest area for insurance companies, and the third biggest financial market in France. It has a highly developed textile industry and is the third most important in France for exports and the automotive industry. Lille is the cradle of mass retailing and hosts many world famous companies. This 20,000-square-metre modern, functional campus is located in the heart of the city s business centre, a stone s throw from the old town and Lille s Grand Place. It is conveniently situated between two TGV stations with Paris only an hour away, Brussels 38 minutes and London 1 hour 20. Paris, La Villette and La Défense The City of Lights continues to be one of the most stimulating cities in the world as a centre of cultural and economic activity. At the heart of French business, intellectual and cultural life, Paris hosts millions of visitors year-round who come to marvel at the wealth of history, art and entertainment the city has to offer. Competitive industries, business innovations, high-level education, and tourism have turned Paris into the favourite city of business professionals and young graduates. For career-oriented young people, Paris is the place to be and SKEMA s Paris campuses give students the chance to work and learn in a city of unlimited opportunities. Before both campuses are incorporated in one site, SKEMA students can choose between the two Paris campuses. > La Villette Campus The campus occupies two floors in the Tour La Villette. 2,045 square metres equipped with the latest information and communication technologies. The Villette campus is ideally situated with fast access to central Paris and main motorways. Close by, the Parc de La Villette and the Cité des Sciences et de l Industrie make this a high potential, dynamic environment chosen by many companies. SKEMA s Modular Executive MBA is located at the Villette Campus. > 04 At Home Worldwide

Sophia Antipolis Suzhou Casablanca > La Défense Campus The campus is located in the Pôle Léonard de Vinci in the heart of La Défense. This modern area is only a 10-minute metro ride from the Champs-Elysées, or 20 minutes from the Eiffel Tower. La Défense is home to a population of 20,000, with 1,500 companies (15 of which are among the world top 50) employing 150,000 people. Many companies especially banks and insurance companies have left their former neighbourhoods to set up here. Sophia-Antipolis at the heart of the French Riviera The French Riviera is without doubt one of the most attractive areas in France for tourism. It has lovely weather and beautiful varied landscapes, not to mention 120 km of Mediterranean coast. It is no secret that the French Riviera attracts thousands of tourists every summer. 3,900 events are held here every year it s all part of the Côte d Azur. The rolling countryside of the Alpes-Maritimes is an invitation for all outdoor activities from trekking and skiing in the mountains to swimming and sailing in the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. In economic terms, the region is one of the most dynamic in Europe. With over one million inhabitants, the French Riviera has become a strategic location for companies in sectors as varied as high technology, tourism, luxury or international finance. The campus lies at the heart of Europe s best known science park whose success is directly linked to its quality of life and exceptional environment. The area offers not only its natural beauty, but also a high level of cultural and social life enriched by the diversity of its population. Sophia Antipolis is home to several higher education institutes and university departments which have created a vibrant student community of over 5,000. SKEMA s immediate environment also includes over 1,300 companies in sectors such as information and communications technology or biotechnology. Here, 21st century companies have become part of a knowledge community and the SKEMA 30-hectare state-of theart campus fits harmoniously with this environment. Suzhou, China Suzhou has been called the Venice of the East because of its many canals, beautiful natural environment and traditional gardens. However, this ancient city is one of the most advanced centres of technology across the globe; it is home to 118 of the top 500 companies in the world. Suzhou is just one hour from Shanghai, China s second largest centre of industry and top destination for foreign investment. This makes it an ideal recruitment centre for graduates seeking an international career. Casablanca (Maroc) The city is situated on the Atlantic coast about 90 kilometres south of Rabat, the country s administrative capital. While Rabat is Morocco s largest city, Casablanca has rapidly become the kingdom s economic capital, spearheading the development of the whole country. The city and its outlying area now spreads over 873 square kilometres with a 50 kilometre coastline. Casablanca has become a true metropolis apt to take up the challenge of globalisation and the worldwide competition this implies. SKEMA is part of the brand new Mundiapolis Campus run by the SEGEPEC group which manages several private institutes of higher education, each of which is specialised in a particular domain (Finance, Management, Company Law, Human Resources, Languages, Computer Science and Automatics and Electronics.) The Mundiapolis Campus comprises 1,300 students. At Home Worldwide 05 <

Arnauld Ponche French MBA Class of 2008 Senior Project Manager RP Global I chose the SKEMA MBA for its comprehensive curriculum, its balance between hard skills and soft skills, its international dimension and exposure. I was lucky to be studying and working with professors and classmates from every continent: my first experience in cross-cultural management. After graduation, I was quickly recruited by an independent power producer, a young company, in which I am in charge of the French project. Doing an MBA is life-changing: it is a very special moment in one s professional and even personal life. It is a very exciting time of learning, of meeting, of interacting with faculty and professionals from all over the world.

Christine Gauthier French MBA Class of 2009 Information Systems Director With an international background in Project Management, Supply Chain, and IT in the aeronautic industry, I felt the need to take my career to the next level and joined the SKEMA MBA. During one year, I studied with people from very different industries, cultures, ages, and positions. I learned from their differences and backgrounds and I think they learned from my experience too. During that period I was given the opportunity to work for a company in the Healthcare sector. This mission gave me the chance of using the methods learnt from the MBA program to the ground, reporting to the board. The partnership was rich for both of us. Achieving a MBA is a challenge that requires a real involvement but it is really worth it since it brings you the opportunity of operating a deep change in your professional life.
