Overview

Global Partners MBA: Four Continents. Two Degrees. One Global Experience.

The Global Partners MBA is a 14-month, full-time program delivering an intensive, true immersion in the practice of global business. Spanning 4 continents, students earn 2 degrees through an integrated curriculum across partner institutions.

Extended Residencies in Atlanta, Rio, and Paris; and Asian Business Field Study
The J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University in Atlanta has teamed with IAE – Paris, the Sorbonne Graduate Business School, and COPPEAD Graduate School of Business, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, to create this unparalleled living classroom experience. Internationally renowned research and top-ranked faculty from the three institutions collaborate to deliver a rigorous and integrated curriculum. The Asian Business Field Study introduces students to the challenges and opportunities of doing business in the dynamic and complex business environment of emerging markets in Asia with a current focus on China. Format includes company visits with senior executives across industry and functional focus, meeting local Chinese students, and cultural activities.

Executive Leadership and Commercial Diplomacy are central themes of the Global Partners MBA program. The themes are integrated throughout the curriculum and across continents. They are designed to provide students with opportunities to apply the theories and concepts in real-world settings.

Executive Leadership
Great management gets things done. Superior leadership makes things possible. To achieve both, global leaders must master the fundamentals: managing change, motivating and inspiring others, creating cross-cultural teams, adapting to diverse national business practices, with an emphasis on the global enterprise managed in ethical & environmentally sustainable ways. At the core of this theme is the formation of adaptive leadership practices to create sustainable value: economic, social, and environmental.

Students discover their respective leadership competencies and effective leadership practices. Face-to-face meetings with CEOs and executives of Fortune 500/Global Fortune companies, well-known and successful entrepreneurs, and high ranking government officials provide students with real world access and offer unique and valuable knowledge and insight.


Commercial Diplomacy
Achieving global success today depends on the skillful interaction of leaders who forge effective and beneficial bilateral commerce relationships. Unique to Global Partners, the Commercial Diplomacy theme allows students to examine the why, when, and how companies, governments, policy makers, and international regulators work together. A particular effort is made to work with organizations that have presence in two or more of the program’s locations. Multi-day trips to Washington, DC and Brussels and company visits in each locale expose students to Commercial Diplomacy in action.


International Internship
Global Partners students apply their classroom knowledge, cross-cultural experiences, and language skills during a sixteen-week international internship – the culmination of classroom and international experiences. It’s a strong value proposition for the student intern and the sponsoring organization.

Two Degrees. Three Alma Maters. An Extensive Alumni Network.
Upon completion of this innovative program, Global Partners students earn an MBA from the Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University and a Master d’Administration des Entreprises from IAE- Paris, Sorbonne Graduate Business School. As an alumnus of all three schools, Global Partners students are part of an extensive worldwide network.

Student Profile
Leslie Brown
Class of 2008
Assistant Brand Manager, Sodexo

I chose the Global Partners MBA program because of its unique curriculum design. No other MBA program offers a four-continent, three schools, two degree experience with such a high degree of immersion in local business and culture. I knew that I wanted to work in an international business environment and the Global Partners MBA program paid off in a big way! Not only did the program help to prepare me for securing my position as an Assistant Brand Manager for Sodexo, but it also introduced me to the amazing culture of Paris where I always dreamed of living and working!
