IEMB - INTERNATIONAL EXECUTIVE MASTER IN BUSINESS

The post COVID-19 scenario will require faster decision-making processes and the ability to rapidly migrate all business
models towards hybrid, physical and virtual solutions, which guarantee greater resilience against unexpected and
devastating phenomena such as the one experienced in past years. Companies therefore need professionals who know
how to combine specialized technical knowledge, distinctive managerial skills, positive leadership skills and medium-long
term vision.

The SDA Bocconi’s International Executive Master in Business makes career and training compatible: thanks to the
flexibility and the combination of face-to-face teaching and live synchronous learning, participants will acquire new skills
and develop managerial skills that can be used immediately.

reimagining your career or reinventing yourself regularly you will
be stuck. It doesn’t matter how good you are or what level you

You are your own CEO.
