The MEB provides an excellent connection to the world of business, and a solid
foundation for an international management career across a wide range of
sectors, organisations and positions.
At the heart of the programme are both live company consultancy projects and
professionnal mission (internship or direct employment) requirements. In their
company consultancy projects, multinational teams of students are hired by a
client company to provide solutions to some of the real issues they face. During
their company internship, students work in a management training role within
a client company.
â Two company consultancy projects: These often involve widespread data
collection, ïŹeldwork, research and analysis, and strategic recommendations.
They offer groups of students the experience of working together as a
mullticulturalteam,underthesupervisionofacompanymanagerandanESCP
Europe tutor, to meet the needs of their client. Recent projects have included
an analysis of the future of global media brands, research on leveraged
ïŹnancial markets, and an investigation of Internet usage within European
companies.
Examples of company consultancy projects:
(Technicolor) brand.
Operators (EY).
in Spain and improving P&G brandsâ value equation and FMOT (Procter &
Gamble).
of a tool to predict the impact of change of facilities on service provision
(Papworth NHS Hospital).
Optimising contract management (Thales).
â Professionnal mission (internship or direct employment): During the ïŹrst
semester, students are encouraged to begin their search for a minimum
three-month internship. These important job-seeking skills are developed
withtheprofessionalsupportofSchoolspecialistsintheCareersOfïŹceand
the Alumni Association. Exposure to real-life business culture challenges
and strengthens the skills and knowledge acquired in the MEB curriculum,
and solidiïŹes the studentâs proïŹle as a successful international manager.
Private and group study (including further reading, case study preparation, coursework, development of
presentations, and group projects) are likely to require at least 30 hours a week, in addition to excellent work
habits and a high level of commitment.

FINANCE
This course is designed to provide students with the fundamental theoretical
knowledge and tools of ïŹnance. The course is organised around one main
concept: the value of assets on competitive markets. The ïŹrst part of the course
is devoted to a short study of the ïŹrmâs ïŹnancial statements as a tool for decision
making. The rest of the course covers the different applications of the NPV
principle. After studying time value of money and interest calculations, NPV will
be applied to asset valuations and investment projects selection. The opportunity
cost of capital will be introduced as well as the link between risk and return.
CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR & NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
This course addresses a fundamental aspect of marketing management, that
of consumption, consumers, and buying decisions in Business-to-Consumer
contexts. As such, it covers the main stages creating the consumption cycle:
need emergence, information seeking and use, decision-making, buying
behaviour, consumption experience, post-consumption judgement, and disposal.
Participants are asked to acquire not only theoretical wisdom on consumption-
related marketing decisions but also sensitivity to consumersâ experience in
order to gain better interpretive power across market contexts. This course
also addresses innovation from a consumer-centred perspective and starts with
a thorough understanding of consumers and their experiences. Participants
will closely follow the process of new product development, and thus develop
practical skills through case studies and/or projects.
MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING & CONTROL
Management Accounting deals with the main approaches to cost accounting
and cost allocation systems, enabling students to gain a good understanding of
budgeting, responsibility accounting, standard costing and variance analysis.
Students also acquire the skills needed to assess the managerial and strategic
implications of ïŹnancial decisions.
FINANCIAL STRATEGY
This course is an ideal complement to the Fundamentals of Finance course in
which key concepts in modern ïŹnancial theory have been covered. To go further
into the understanding of the ïŹnancial strategy of a ïŹrm, the course is organised
around three main parts.
The ïŹrst is devoted to the analysis of Risk and Return in ïŹnancial markets, looking
closely at the Optimal Portfolio choice, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
and their application to estimating the Cost of Capital for corporations. The second
part addresses how a ïŹrm should raise funds in order to ïŹnance its investments
and the ïŹrmâs resulting capital structure, applying especially the Modigliani and
Miller Theorem. The ïŹnal part provides an overview of ïŹnancial derivatives to
manage risk.

TEAMBUILDING SEMINAR
At the beginning of the 2nd semester, a teambuilding seminar will take place
on each campus, as streams of participants coming from various tracks are
coming together. The purpose of this seminar is to rapidly foster connections,
helping participants to know each other, leveraging diversity in a culturally and
emotionally intelligent way.
INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT
The International Management course involves considering strategic,
organisational and cultural aspects by which decisions of expansion abroad
are taken and implemented. This course will particularly explore the speciïŹcs of
contemporary international business environments wherein ïŹrms operate, the
founding concepts and dimensions of corporate internationalisation strategy,
and a selection of transversal international business issues (human resources
issues in an international business context, international management of ethics,
and international business negotiation). Upon completion of this course, students
will understand how ïŹrms operate across borders.
OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT & SUPPLY CHAIN
Operations Management is concerned with the management of the resources
and processes required for âdeliveringâ a product or service. This module is based
on the understanding that operations not only concern the industry ïŹrm, but also
the service ïŹrm. Sourcing, logistics, production and Total Quality Management
are the key topics covered.
ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR ACROSS CULTURES
This module gives students a set of concepts and tools that help them understand
1) organisations as a context for managerial action and 2) behaviour as a result
of this context coupled with cognitive and personal factors. It enables them to
apply those concepts to motivational and team building issues, especially in an
intercultural context.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS (MIS)
In an economy where information is more and more accessible and valued, this
course provides the key elements to understanding what an information system
is, the roles it can play in a company, and how to maximise it as a management
tool as well as a source of new business opportunities.
EUROPEAN BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
This module aims at helping students understand the institutional and regulatory
framework in the E.U. and how to measure its impact on businesses operating
therein. It is based on a series of concrete cases that help students see the links
between the E.U. political framework and the emergence of a speciïŹc environment
for businesses. Questions such as the role and inïŹuence of lobbies, the free
circulation principle, the issues of standards and harmonisation, innovation and
competitiveness are raised, through lectures, cases, interactive discussions and
group work.
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS LAW
Companies of all sizes, and across all sectors, are doing business in various forms
beyond their domestic borders. This course is designed to increase your knowledge
ofthelegalframeworkofinternationalbusinesstransactions,publicpolicyandethical
issues implicated when doing business in different legal and business cultures.
LEADERSHIP & CHANGEMENT MANAGEMENT
This module gives students the concepts and tools for diagnosing problems within
and improving any leadership situation they could face, especially in a changing
context. It also provides them with the basic skills of visioning, trust-building and
engagement creation in a managerial context.
ETHICS & CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
This module will help grasp the real impact of ethics and CSR beyond the
buzzwords. Both ethics and CSR question the current strategies of companies
by pushing them to look ahead and imagine concrete ways of integrating
these externalities. As such, this course not only provides students with an
understanding of whatâs behind the words and the operational implications of
ethics and CSR integration, but also a critical and innovative look at the ongoing
evolution of companiesâ positioning within society.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP & INNOVATION
We will explore entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial process through an
integrallensandlearnframeworksandapproachesthatfacilitatebusinesscreation
and development, ensuring that your venture is creating value and achieving its
purpose with environmental, social, cultural, and economic sustainability.
HUMAN RESOURCES FOR MANAGERS
This module prepares future managers to understand their responsibilities
regarding HR: selection, compensation, performance and career management
decisions from a systematic, strategic perspective.
FINANCE OR MARKETING ELECTIVE
An elective has been created to allow further in-depth study of either marketing
or ïŹnance, depending on each studentâs preference. Students will broaden the
knowledge and skills they developed in the marketing and ïŹnance modules, and
begin to think like the marketers and ïŹnance managers they will soon join. Since
many MEB graduates enter into these sectors, this elective is an effective way
to get a head start on their career.
COMPUTER SKILLS
This module will provide assistance in using relevant software in a successful
and efïŹcient way. Students will be given support in the writing of professional
reports, analysing quantitative data using spreadsheets, using PowerPoint slides
effectively in oral presentations, and in constructing databases.
FUNDAMENTALS OF MATHEMATICS
This module helps to revise basic knowledge in mathematics, especially in
analysis and linear algebra, for use in business and management applications.
Students will be taught the pre-requisites they need for subsequent courses,
such as Quantitative Methods, Fundamentals of Finance, Operations
Management or Economics for Managers.
LANGUAGES
During Semester 1: Semester 2 language-of-study courses (English or German)
are compulsory for students who have not reached the minimum required level
of 12/20 on their language admission tests. Students who will study Semester 2
in English may also take local language courses in order to reach a beginnerâs
proïŹciency in Italian, Spanish, German or French.

âThe ESCP Europe MEB programme perfectly matches
the requirements for a modern career in management.
Postgraduatesfromvariousdisciplinescancomplementtheir
education with profound management know-how, boosting
their employability after graduation. By studying in mixed
groups at two different campuses, their exposure to cultural

globalised economy. As a teacher, I most appreciate our
studentsâ motivation for personal progress, their openness

âI believe our MEB programme perfectly embodies the
very values of ESCP Europe: international environment,
European vision, multidisciplinary confrontation, and
boundary-less approach to society and markets. To me,
MEB students represent the forthcoming generation of
individuals and professionals who will contribute to the
making of a new, and hopefully better, world. Being a
MEB student implies strong motivation, dedication, and
sharing of its core values with a group of like-minded
participants and professors. Being a MEB graduate
makes you a terriïŹc contributor for companies, NGOs,
and other organizations that take on the challenges of
todayâs markets.â

âThe MEB is one of the most valuable experiences a
student can have, both personally and professionally. Its

Juan Carlos Higueras
Professor in Business Strategy
Madrid campus
âI appreciate the diversity of our MEB students. Their
different cultures and backgrounds mean that they
interact with me not only with greater maturity, but
also by often posing very challenging and insightful
questions. Nothing surprising! The intensive pace of the
programme, which enables them to get a rich overview
of management issues and tools in a year, makes them
eager to grab as much knowledge and skills as they can
before entering their professional lives. The organisation
of studies, based heavily on teamwork at two different
campuses, using foreign languages and adapting to the
various personalities and cultural contexts, helps them
develop their skills and adaptability at a fast pace. These
are qualities much appreciated in the international job
market. Importantly, MEB students also fashion their
own rich professional network.â
Emmanuel Zilberberg
Professor in Audit & Accounting
Paris campus
âEvery time I teach MEB students, I learn something
new. Their varied backgrounds, cultures and experiences
allow discussions to cover many different points of view
and deeply explore the content. The mix of competences
you can ïŹnd in class is also of great added value to the
programme, fostering dialogue amongst students and
enhancing true comparison among them. I consider
the MEB programme to be great practise for the global
professional world. The workforce of the knowledge
society, as Jeremy Rifkin suggests, needs to be equipped
with technical competences as well as sophisticated
soft skills. Our MEB students leave the programme with
signiïŹcant academic and interpersonal skills that will
speed up their ability to deal with multicultural relationships
within any international company.â
Chiara Succi

âI have always enjoyed teaching our MEB students.
Even though the subject of corporate ïŹnance can make
them wary, I am often amazed by the studentsâ abilities
to grasp and apply the concepts, tools and techniques
the courses offer them. Combining this with the maturity
of the students, as well as their diverse cultural and
business backgrounds, the grand result is a recipe that
guarantees wonderful class discussions and a superb
preparation for their future careers.â
