This gives CEMS MIM graduates a high level of maturity to successfully adapt to the globalised workplace.”

Roland SiegersCEMS Executive Director

CEMS is seeking students who are not only successful academically, but also display a high standard of ethical conduct, who are able to draw upon cultural diversity with respect and

THE CEMS MIMPREPARING RESPONSIBLE LEADERS

CEMS is an association committed not just to producing future management talent but also responsible international business leaders, mindful of the social impact their work will have.

“Our institutions must train leaders capable of embracing globalisation, understanding the social impact of business, cultivating the entrepre-neurial spirit and fostering the creation of more sustainable business models. The CEMS Alliance is a clear example of all this – the best way to build a better future for all of us.”

Drà Eugenio BietoDirector GeneralESADE Business School

Andrea SironiCEMS Chairman Rector of Bocconi University

“Responsibility gives depth and width to leadership. It gives depth because it allows a leader to better understand all the facets of any management issue in a global context, and it gives width because a responsible leader is better equipped to meet the expec-tations of a wider range of stakeholders. That’s what we want CEMS graduates to be: responsible leaders of a globalized world.”

“The large number of CEMS Alumni we have working at Google denotes a great link between our organisation’s set of core values and those of CEMS. We are delighted to be a long serving corporate partner of CEMS.”

Cassiano Mecchi,University Programs TeamGoogle

Robin HodessGroup Director, Advocacy and Research

“At A.T. Kearney we are constantly looking for ambitious graduates who are eager to take on the toughest challenges of corporate agendas. Being part of the CEMS community allows us to engage with students from a wide variety of backgrounds who show a great fit for our company culture as well as our recruiting requirements.
