EDHEC MBA
Chuan SUN - 2007/08
Chuan SUN"As I expected before entering the MBA programme, our courses are highly interactive with lots of group work and practical case studies. We confront different issues from Accounting to Human Resource Management both in class and outside in group projects. It is common for my class mates and me to work together well after office hours to find the solutions. That is real business life!"


EDHEC MBA
Norifumi OTANI - 2005/06

Norifumi OTANI"I appreciated the possibility to participate in the courses offered by core faculty as well as by many visiting faculty from academic and professional fields from all over the world. Thanks to the relatively small intake, relationships with professors are highly personalized and sharing classes with competitive yet friendly students really helped my self-development."


Asia Regional Director, Ipas
Wendy DARBY - 1999/2000

 mba business"The intensive exposure to crosscultural approaches to work provided ample opportunities to build on my experiences. The EDHEC MBA provided the stepping stone to obtaining a Senior Management position within an international organization."


Director  Asia Pacific Gartner (France)
Bertrand BIDAUD - 1996/1997

mba business  "The things I most appreciated about the EDHEC MBA were the resolutely international focus, the opportunity to get a solid grounding in business administration... and the high calibre of the other participants."


President, LAT Venture Management (Switzerland)
Leandro TESTA - 1995/1996


mba business
"Prior to coming to EDHEC, I was focusing on a rather narrow career in finance. The MBA experience gave me a much broader view of entrepreneurship, enabling me to see the big picture. In essence, The MBA has provided me with the fundamentals to master my craft. EDHEC lit the entrepreneurial fire in me, enabling me to become what I am today. Last, but not least, the year I spent on the MBA was a lot of fun and was a time when I built some long-lasting friendships."


Manager Special Projects, Canadian Tire Corporation (Canada)
Derek WISHART - 1992/1993

                                                             

"The two most important things that EDHEC helped me with were breaking out of the engineering mind-set and learning about people (organizational change management, team building, leadership). Prior to this I was a software engineer and software project manager. At that time my roles and my perception of them were narrowly defined and focused on technology. The MBA helped me to see the broader business context."

Global Leadership Fellow in Telecommunications Industry, World Economic Forum USA
Justin Rico OYOLA - 2007/08
Justin Rico OYOLA

"My background was in building non-profit advocacy coalitions in California. I needed to learn how to better influence the private sector toward increasing their corporate social responsibility commitments.The EDHEC MBA exposed me to the latest perspectives on organizational management and leadership. The Dean and faculty supported my personal goals to study private-public partnerships that advanced social innovation."




CEO PlayAdz
Jaime PINTO - 2006/2007

Jaime PINTO"The discussions are really rich in the classrooms, not just because of the diverse cultural mix and the fact that we have all had professional experience but because all the classes are interactive. They encourage participation and even those who were slightly reserved at the beginning are making themselves heard in every activity, we all just feel so comfortable."


Senior Professional, New Product Planning, Eli Lilly KK (Japan)
Takako Kawasaki - 2000/2001

         
"I did not have any IT background but I greatly enjoyed the course. I personally appreciated the diversity of the class: there were 20 nationalities and the average age was 32. It was a pleasure working with interesting, mature people and having the opportunity to exchange our knowledge and experience."


Director, NextPage (U.S.A.)
Rob WUEBKER - 1996/1997

         
"Sure, you're going to learn how to read a balance sheet, try your hand at a merger simulation, and present research and analysis on company X. But at EDHEC, all that is just the backdrop to something more, something deeper, and something ultimately way more life-altering. The EDHEC MBA is wild and often disconcerting.It's as much a business event as an MBA."


C.E.O., Verve! (U.K.)
Ziv NAVOTH - 1996/1997

        
"TheMBA degree that EDHEC offers will not turn you into a technologist. It will turn you into someone who feels comfortable managing in an increasingly technology-driven world. As such, you will be prepared to tackle any job that other schools would prepare you for... and much better."


Director, ISE Research Lab France Telecom R&D
Laurent LONDEIX - 1992/1993


mba business
"I really appreciated the mix of sharp technology and business vision brought by the institute, the value of inter-cultural and inter-professional exchanges between the students and the quality and level of the visiting professors. I believe it allowed me to look at business issues with a broader view taking into account not only the basic financial and technical components but also the ones related to strategy, organizations and market changes. It was the required complement to my initial Telecommunication Engineering education to be able to move to management positions in companies where innovation and change management in both technology and processes are keys to success."
