Objectives

Contribute to enhance the international performance of companies and organizations


The International Business Realities (IBR) program aims to enlighten students on international challenges by providing them with global and cross-cutting insights into various management situations within a multicultural context. Increasing market globalization presents companies with new challenges making it imperative to educate future managers capable of meeting them.

It addresses the situation of both multinational and smaIl and medium enterprises and investigates all dimensions related to their internationalization.

 
The 1st Year of the International Business Realities Program
The 1st Year of the Master’s aims to provide students with a solid background in International Management by teaching them managerial knowledge and skills.

It helps both understand the international environment through its economic, legal, financial and geopolitical components and grasp the realities of companies facing new strategic, organizational and intercultural challenges.


The 2nd Year of the International Business Realities Program
The 2nd Year of the Master’s helps the participants to gain a greater proficiency in International Management.
Students get the opportunity to analyze international management issues from multiple perspectives to be able to develop strategies adapted to the modern business world: a world marked by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity.

A particular emphasis is put on the development of the participants’ ability to draw a link between theoretical knowledge and its application, their openness towards the different cultures and the social corporate responsibility of a manager.

The internship allows students in their 1st and 2nd year of the Master’s in International Business Realities to effectively use the knowledge acquired during their studies. The internship with an international management mission can take place in France or abroad.

 
The IBR program is fully taught in English.
The multicultural mix of the participants and faculty gives the possibility to analyze and discuss business topics and issues from different points of view. The small size of the group (25 to 30 students) guarantees an interactive exchange with fellow students, faculty and practitioners.
