EMBA Consortium for Global Business Innovation

The EMBA Consortium for Global Business Innovation is the result of a collaboration of eleven business schools located in important cities and regions of the world, with the aim of enriching the educational experience of their respective students. We stressed its philosophy, which is that, by offering a global portfolio of geographically focused programs, students can confront the reality of doing business in different environments, reinforcing their previous learnings and experiences, and providing an important global perspective on business innovation, an essential asset in the globalized world. By experiencing learning from different markets with professors, colleagues, companies, government institutions in different cultures, students who participate in the Consortium will experience a paradigm shift that will be of great importance in their professional trajectory

This week-long program offers to Executive MBA students an in-depth
exposure to the experiences of companies in different parts of the world as they face new challenges from local and global competition. Students can choose their favoured destination destination according to a bidding system coordinated by the consortium.

Projects in Multicultural Teams

The program brings together graduate students from the University of San Diego (USA) and students from the Coppead Full-time MBA, who develop together a consulting project for Brazilian companies during one week. Participants are divided into multicultural teams, supervised by professors from the University of San Diego and Coppead. The teams have the chance to work together and still present the results to the professor and representatives of the company. The course is a discipline of the Full-time MBA Program.

Double Degree for the Part-time Executive MBA

The Executive MBA Dual Certification Program offers 11 places for
graduates of the Executive MBA each year at 2 business schools in
France. Participants must attend around 150 hours of classes during their stay in France, in addition to 160-200 hours of work on a final project that can be done in Brazil with the guidance of a French school teacher. The project must be presented on a date to be scheduled by the student with his French advisor. Students approved in both stages will receive the International MBA certificate from the selected French Business School.

Coppead currently has agreements with the following Business Schools in France:

Audencia-Nantes School of Management
NEOMA Business School.

Details, deadlines and specific requirements are distributed by the
International Affairs Office to Executive MBA students, so that students can participate in the following year.
