European MBA - global/international management

[pigalette]

Hi,

I would like to pursue an MBA degree in Global/International Management.

My main goal is to get more managerial skills to create/manage a group of sustainable business/companies, and I will be working in Asia.

I'm checking out EU schools because of these reasons below:
* I'd like to get the experience of studying in Europe with more international classmates.
* Our company have some business with some European companies (they're mostly in Germany).
* I received my bachelor degree from a university in the US, so I'm also looking for a new environment and experience.

Below is the list of schools I'm considering to apply (with their accreditation):
HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management - AACSB
SDA Bocconi School of Management - AACSB, EQUIS
WHU - Otto Beisheim Graduate School of Management - AACSB, EQUIS
INSEAD - AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA
HSG (Strategy and International Management program) - AACSB, EQUIS

Please comment or advice on whether or not these schools would have the right program. Or if anyone has any recommendation of other schools I haven't mentioned, please do.

Thank you in advance

You have a very interesting list there. I'm curious how you came up with it. INSEAD given your goals is an obvious choice. The others may be as well. There are higher ranked European programs (lots of them actually which might fit your goals too), like IE, HEC Paris... etc. The most reliable rankings for International programs is the financial times. Since you mentioned Germany, although the schools don't necessarily have the highest rankings, the two most famous German programs are Mannheim and Leipzig, so they might be worth while looking into.

So here's the link:

HSG is pretty good for getting work in Germany or other European countries. A recent article I read on their MBA gradate employment showed that four core areas recur in postgraduate employment: consulting jobs, both at top-name consulting companies, but also increasingly as internal consultants in finance or industrial companies; finance jobs, at some of the world's most recognizable banks in Switzerland's strong banking sector, but also many in corporate finance; industrial jobs in business development, strategy or process management; and lastly pharma jobs primarily in companies such as Roche and Novartis both in business development or corporate finance but also in product management where an existing background exists. So if any of these sound exciting to you then HSG could be the place for you. They also offer complementary German lessons:D!
