COMPANY SPONSORSHIPA win-win situation |
The Executive MBA program requires a serious commitment from you and your sponsoring organization. Company support will be vital as you balance heavy academic and career loads. You need to be free of job responsibilities during the residential portions of the program. Classes run from Monday to Friday, from 8.30 to 18.30, and Saturday mornings. In addition, you'll need a few hours each evening to prepare for the next day's activities.
Your company's input to your distance learning assignments will ensure that you both reap immediate benefit from the program. Many participants will receive full or partial financial support from their organizations.

Why is company sponsorship mandatory?
The Executive MBA is practice-oriented. The learning comes from the discussions and experiences you have while at IMD, combined with your application of the tools and strategies we discuss in the program in your own organization between modules.
You'll have several distance learning assignments, each one assessing or evaluating some aspect of your company or your industry and determining how best to go forward. The interaction between the classroom and the real world will yield big benefits.
Your company will be the laboratory where you investigate further the possibilities we uncover while you're at IMD. So it's essential that you are working and that your company is behind your Executive MBA participation.
The Mastering Stage of the program is structured as a series of four 'out of the office' modules, with significant time back at the office between each. It's clear you'll be working while you complete the program, and company support will be vital as you balance heavy academic and career loads. You'll need to be free of job responsibilities during the 'out of the office' portions of the program, and you'll need the support of your company for the assignments you're undertaking on its behalf.

“The IMD EMBA has had a long and short term payoff for me. Its long term value is that it has fundamentally changed the way I think. The short term payoff has been the immediate value to my company of the assignments. This is a key difference between IMD and other schools I attended.” Neil Simmonds, New Zealander Counties Power, New Zealand
