The ESSEC Global MBA integrates sustainability, digitalization, and innovation across core courses. You also can personalize your journey by “mixing and matching” electives across these three areas:

• Sustainability

• Digital Leadership

• Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Sustainability

Businesses are experiencing a renewed sense of responsibility for both social and ecological challenges. With this shift comes a committed search for business-trained talent with a deep knowledge of these challenges as well as the best tools and practices for increasing sustainability.

• Example courses: Sustainable transformation, Circular Economy in Supply Change, Sustainable Marketing, Sustainable Finance, etc.

• Targeted roles: ESG (Environment, Society, and Governance) Consulting, Leading a Sustainable Supply Chain Function, or Analyzing Impact Investing, etc.

Digital Leadership

Digital is “the” way of doing business now and for the future. Businesses need not only digital skills, but also strategic talent that can lead organizations in aligning digital strategy with digital transformation.

• Example courses: Implementing AI, Fintech, Digital Marketing, and/or How to lead digital transformations, etc.

• Targeted roles: Digital Product Manager, Digital Strategy Consultant, or Business Intelligence Manager, etc.

Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Growth and innovation are inherent aspects of business. Therefore, businesses require talent with the skills to lead innovation and growth at large organizations, as well as leaders who can work with fast-growing startups and scale-ups – while possibly becoming entrepreneurs themselves.

• Example courses: Entrepreneurial Finance, Growing a Brand, Innovation Management, etc.

• Targeted roles: Venture Capital Analyst, Brand Leader, or Innovation Consultant, etc.

Electives

Across these three key topics, you may have a career goal of contributing more specifically in roles aligned in Finance. The ESSEC Global MBA allows you to choose a Finance elective cluster.
