Creative Thinking makes the difference *

Executive mba-

aMBAaCCREDITED

“Investing in an MBA is one of the boldest and most important decisions you will make in your life. The ICN Business School Execu­tive MBA, now a mature

program with more than ten years of experience, has been developed by a high reputation Business School and accredited by the Association of MBAs. It is for you the opportunity to boost your career by developing your potential and acquiring knowledge and know­how.

Through my academic profile as a teacher and researcher but also with my practitioner profile as a consultant in management, I see life­long learning as a factor of performance, success and achieve­ment for you, for your team and for your organization.

Tomorrow’s environment will be global, international and uncertain. Consequently, the more creative and innovative you, your team members and your com­pany are, the more long­term will be the success you achieve. So, take the challenge and expand your horizons!”

AMBA (Association of MBAs) accredits MBA, DBA and MBM programs at over 200 Business Schools in over 80 countries, with rigorous assessment criteria ensuring that only the highest caliber programs, which demonstrate the best standards in teaching, curricu­lum, and student interaction, achieve accreditation. Unlike other business education accreditation bodies, AMBA focuses in detail on individual programs rather than whole institutions. AMBA believes that accredited programs should be of the highest standard and reflect changing trends and innovation in postgraduate mana­gement education.

ASSOCIATED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF LORRAINE

MISSION & VALUESSINCE 1905 THE ICN HAS BEEN THE ‘GRANDE ÉCOLE’ BUSINESS SCHOOL IN THE EAST OF FRANCE AND AT THE HEART OF EUROPE. ITS IDENTITY AND ITS DEVELOPMENT ARE ROOTED IN THE LINKS BETWEEN MANAGEMENT, TECHNOLOGY AND ART. THESE LINKS WILL BE VITAL DETERMINANTS FOR TOMORROW’S ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT.

The mission of ICN Business School is to train stu­dents and executives to manage enterprises efficiently, with a commitment to corporate responsibility, and to contribute to innovation through creative thinking.

Its teaching programs are supported by the specialist knowledge of its academic Faculty who make original intellectual contributions to improving managerial practice and furthering the knowledge which is essential to corporate success.

The ICN community is driven by three fundamen­tal values, which find their true expression in the objectives of the Artem Alliance: open­mindedness, commitment, team spirit.

ALLIANCE ARTEM Artem is a unique alliance between the École nationale supérieure d’art et de design de Nancy, ICN Business School and Mines Nancy. It is a partnership which promotes, in its educational programs, interdiscipli­narity, alternative learning methods, creativity and innovation, all with a view to training a new generation of creators and decision­makers.

If each School has its own specialization and character, together they make a unique alliance! The three Graduate Schools encourage their students to think dif­ferently and take on challenges which are far removed from their initial field of expertise. The objective is to develop in them a new mind­set, a new behavioral approach which is more appropriate to the complex and interdisciplinary nature of contemporary practice and more akin to the agility, mobility and reactivity which today’s society needs.

CORE COURSES

“It is not a question whether companies have to be inno vative or not. It is a question on how managers are able to deal with the management of innovation from a comprehensive perspective. Therefore a program has been put together which addresses managers’ competences to deal with organizations’ sustainable innovation capabili ties. For such, questions of creative idea development, leadership and management in innovation processes, the role of networks and technology transfer, financial issues or policy makers are considered in the MBA program. To provide a maximum learning these issues are discussed in praxis cases, for instance during the Stuttgart days of innovation management, and theoretically reflected.”

ICN executive students display ingenuity and creativity in addressing complex issues and demonstrate their unique talents in offering workable solutions.

“I started the EMBA in 2014, not long after changing career paths from professional sport to business. From day one on the program, I was able to transmit all that I was learning back into my job. Having been a professional athlete before, my leadership skills were transferable, although I was still raw in the world of business. The EMBA helped shape and refine those skills, and the results were immediately noticeable. Working in teams and learning from the other professionals was an invaluable experience – changing your career path can make anyone feel a sense of doubt, no matter at what point they are in their career. With the support of the EMBA, I was able to embrace the uncertainty I was facing, and conquer it with ease. I am now an analyst working for a well­known international firm?”

“Taking­on a part­time MBA at ICN after 15 years professional experience was a real challenge for me and for my family… However, the learnings from a human and academic perspectives were by far beyond my original expectations and that effort really paid off. During the course of my MBA, I have been exposed to real business case studies, I had to deal with loads of management issues and all of that in a multicultural environment during our 3 international seminars.

I feel my MBA prepared me to deal with today and tomorrow’s management issues, and clearly contributed to boost my career development.”
