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.
■ Two company consultancy projects: These often involve widespread data
collection, fieldwork, 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
financial 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 brands’ 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).
■ Professionnal mission (internship or direct employment): During the first
semester, students are encouraged to begin their search for a minimum
three-month internship. These important job-seeking skills are developed
withtheprofessionalsupportofSchoolspecialistsintheCareersOfficeand
the Alumni Association. Exposure to real-life business culture challenges
and strengthens the skills and knowledge acquired in the MEB curriculum,
and solidifies the student’s profile 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 finance. The course is organised around one main
concept: the value of assets on competitive markets. The first part of the course
is devoted to a short study of the firm’s financial 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 consumers’ 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 financial decisions.
FINANCIAL STRATEGY
This course is an ideal complement to the Fundamentals of Finance course in
which key concepts in modern financial theory have been covered. To go further
into the understanding of the financial strategy of a firm, the course is organised
around three main parts.
The first is devoted to the analysis of Risk and Return in financial 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 firm should raise funds in order to finance its investments
and the firm’s resulting capital structure, applying especially the Modigliani and
Miller Theorem. The final part provides an overview of financial 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 specifics of
contemporary international business environments wherein firms 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 firms operate across borders.
OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT & SUPPLY CHAIN
Operations Management is concerned with the management of the resources
and processes required for ‘delivering’ a product or service. This module is based
on the understanding that operations not only concern the industry firm, but also
the service firm. 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 specific environment
for businesses. Questions such as the role and influence 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 what’s behind the words and the operational implications of
ethics and CSR integration, but also a critical and innovative look at the ongoing
evolution of companies’ 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 finance, depending on each student’s preference. Students will broaden the
knowledge and skills they developed in the marketing and finance modules, and
begin to think like the marketers and finance 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 efficient 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 beginner’s
proficiency in Italian, Spanish, German or French.

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
diversity allows students to acquire a truly international

globalised economy. As a teacher, I most appreciate our
students’ motivation for personal progress, their openness
and creativity, and their strong team spirit.”
Frank Jacob
Professor in Marketing

“I 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 terrific contributor for companies, NGOs,
and other organizations that take on the challenges of
today’s markets.”

“I 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.”

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 find 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
significant academic and interpersonal skills that will
speed up their ability to deal with multicultural relationships
within any international company.”

“I have always enjoyed teaching our MEB students.
Even though the subject of corporate finance can make
them wary, I am often amazed by the students’ 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.”

From Around the World
A G AT E W A Y T O A N I N T E R N AT I O N A L C A R E E R
“I graduated in Economics at Lund School of Economics
in Sweden, and the MEB has been the perfect transition
between study and professional life. Thanks to the
consultancy projects, the international classmates and
team work projects, I have been able to learn and improve
in many crucial skills. Undoubtedly, the MEB has been a
positive experience to my professional and personal life
and provided greater than expected assets.”Martin Strub Hidalgo
MEB 2008
Senior Analyst at Google,
Netherlands
“The MEB gave me the right kind of exposure
early in my career. It trains you to excel in a fast
moving international corporate environment,
and is a balanced choice to pave the way for
your future career. Moreover, for me it was a
strong learning and definitely a great human
experience over one year in London and
Bangkok.”Michelle Zhu
MEB 2011
APAC Marketing Business Consultant,
Sofrecom - Orange FT Group, Thailand
“After my degree in Political Science and
one year of work experience, I was looking
for a programme which would allow me to
gain an in-depth knowledge of business in an
international environment taught by a ranked
international school. During my time as a
MEB student, my attitude towards working
changed significantly thanks to the hands-on
approach of the programme.”
Alfonso Auriemma
MEB 2012
Business Analyst,
Rentokil-Initial, UK
“I had already worked for a couple of years
when I realised that there was something
missing from my experience: a level of
managerial awareness. The courses were
a good mix of strategy, management and
creativity. The MEB programme definitely
equipped me with the managerial and
business skills I was hoping to acquire.”Sandra Theumann Diaz
MEB 2012
Employer Brand Specialist, E.ON Business
Services Berlin GmbH, Germany
“I actually never thought I had an
entrepreneurial mindset before the MEB!
ESCP Europe has also been really supportive
since the launch of Anaxago in 2012, enabling
me to work with them on different projects
and upcoming contests. Thanks in part to their
support, we raised €3 million in 2013, funding
15 companies. Being backed by ESCP Europe
where I only spent a year really meant the
world to me!”
Caroline Lamaud
MEB 2012
Co-founder,
Anaxago, France
“The MEB is an exciting and unique
programme you can find nowhere else. It is
notonlytheconcreteknowledgethatIlearned
in the classes that have made the programme
so special; it also gave me the opportunity to
create my own “Tale of Two Cities” - London
and Paris - which is definitely a plus and a
milestone in my life and work experience at
L’Oréal.”
Joyce Yuan
MEB 2013

“The MEB allowed me to reach the global career I was
aimingforaftermydegreeinengineering.Theopportunityto
study management both in Europe and Latin America was
a key success factor in securing a position in the Global
Graduate Programme at Bombardier Transportation. At the
end of this fast-track programme, I got offered a position at
their factory in Brazil. At such an early stage of my career,
I have worked in Germany, Thailand, Canada and Brazil, all
thanks to the tools the MEB gave me!”
Florent Lefévère

“My aim was to become an entrepreneur, and I realised
that working with more than 30 different nationalities on the
MEBwouldhelpmetostandoutamongstalltheotherMBA
andbusinessgraduatesaroundtheworld.Aftercompleting
the MEB, I worked in Europe for a couple of years. After, I
moved back to India and joined Bharti Group. A year later
I decided to pursue my original dream and started my own
company, Cafe Buddy’s Foods Pvt. Ltd. A fast food retail
chain with over 120 operational outlets, we currently have
200 employees working for us.”
Sudeep Gupta

“I graduated in Medical Biotechnology. After several years
working in the scientific research field in both Italy and the
USA, I wanted to change my career path without leaving
the international medical environment. With the MEB, I
had the opportunity to study in two different cities, in a
strong international environment, and to meet high-energy,
enthusiastic professionals, both students and professors,
who were eager to learn. The MEB programme is very much
student-centred,goingaboveandbeyondthetheorytofocus
