Grenoble Ecole de Management is one of the few management schools worldwide being awarded the prestigious "Triple Crown" (accreditations by EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA) which distinguishes leading international institutions in business education[2]. The school's DBA program is one of eight Doctoral programs in the world to be accredited by AMBA[3].
Grenoble Ecole de Management offers the traditional French Grande École program taught in the ESC, a Bachelor of International Business (BIB) and various undergraduate certificates. Including the renowned MBA, EMBA, and MIB, the 13 Master's level programs - delivered in English or French - emphasize innovation, technology and intercultural management.[4]
The Doctoral programs have been up and running since 1989 and are delivered in Europe/France (Grenoble), USA, China, Switzerland, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Abu Dhabi. The PhD program has been launched in 2009 and is offered in four majors (marketing, finance, strategy and innovation management, and organizational theory).[5]
