History

The Château de Fontainebleau

INSEAD was founded in 1957 by venture capitalist and Harvard professor Georges Doriot, along with Claude Janssen and Olivier Giscard d'Estaing. Original seed money was provided by The Paris Chamber of Commerce.[4] The school was originally based in the Château de Fontainebleau, before moving to its current Europe campus in 1967.[5] The name INSEAD was originally an acronym for the French "Institut Européen d'Administration des Affaires" or European Institute of Business Administration.

Chronology

Campuses

INSEAD's Asia campus in Singapore

The original campus (Europe campus) is located in Fontainebleau, near Paris, France. INSEAD's second campus (Asia campus) is in the Buona Vista district of the city-state of Singapore. The third and newest campus (Middle East campus) is located in Abu Dhabi.

INSEAD has been a pioneer in setting up a multi-campus business school as a way to increase the global presence and nature of its faculty and curriculum.[14][15] A Harvard Business School case study, for instance, explores INSEAD's approach to business education in a global context and how it functions with a multi-campus setting.[16]

Degree programs

MBA Program

INSEAD is unique in presenting its MBA participants with the opportunity to follow the MBA's core courses at either of or both its Europe and Asia campuses[17] (as well as offering an elective MBA module at its Middle East campus).[18] All MBA participants follow the same core courses in parallel regardless of which campus they begin or end at, and there are faculty who teach on both the Europe and Asia campuses as well as permanent faculty at each of the three campuses who live and work in the respective regions.[19]

INSEAD offers two MBA promotions per year: one starting in September which takes ten months to complete, and a 12-month promotion starting in January for students who want the opportunity to complete a summer internship.[20]

The INSEAD MBA curriculum comprises a range of required core courses and electives. The core courses cover traditional management disciplines including finance, economics, organizational behavior, accounting, ethics, marketing, statistics, operations management, international political analysis, supply chain management, leadership and corporate strategy. There are 75 electives on offer[21] in areas such as accounting and control, decision sciences, economics and political science, entrepreneurship and family enterprise, finance, and organizational, strategy, marketing, technology and operations management. INSEAD emphasizes the global nature of its education and student body, and requires students to speak 2 languages upon entry and a 3rd by graduation.

Executive MBA Program

INSEAD's Executive MBA is called the Global Executive MBA (GEMBA),[22] and is a Masters-level degree program that takes place on a part-time, modular basis.

INSEAD offers experienced business executives an intensive 14–17-month modular course which can take three routes depending on the starting campus. To allow participants to continue their work, the program takes place in modular periods (approximately every six to seven weeks). To allow participants to optimize their travel, each period on campus is between one and two weeks' duration. The physical time on campus represents 12 weeks in total with participants going to all three campuses.

INSEAD's EMBA program also includes a program-long schedule of group coaching, 360-degree assessments and team activities designed to develop a leadership style, which is called the Leadership Development Program.[23]

Executive Master in Coaching and Consulting for Change

The Executive Master in Coaching and Consulting for Change is a specialized master's degree. It provides a grounding in basic drivers of human behavior and the hidden dynamics of organizations. Integrating business education with a range of psychological disciplines, the program enables participants to understand themselves and others at a fundamental level, which prepares them to assume significant roles in leading organizations, individual and organizational development and change management.[24][25]

PhD Program

The INSEAD PhD in Management is a doctoral degree in business to prepare students for a career in academia, as professors in management. It requires four to five years of full-time study - the first two years of the program are devoted to coursework, while from the third and fourth (or sometimes fifth) years are dedicated to research and dissertation.[26] Students admitted to the program have the option to start their studies on either the Asia (Singapore) or Europe (France) campus,[27] and do an exchange in North America (USA) through the INSEAD-Wharton Alliance.[28] In it, students are able to specialise in one of eight areas: Accounting, Decision Sciences, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Marketing, Organisational Behavior, Strategy, and Technology and Operations Management.[29] INSEAD offers fellowships, whereby students receive full tuition fee waiver, annual stipend and research support funding.[30]

Master in Finance

INSEAD’s Master in Finance (MFin) teaches participants finance and accounting skills on a par with those taught in an MBA program, and also offers leadership and management perspectives not usually found in a traditional finance degree.

INSEAD's MFin is offered in a modular format over a 20-month period to allow professionals to study while continuing to work. Participants take time off from work for each of the 5 modules (2–3 weeks each) to take classes on campus, and continue working in between.[31]

Executive education

INSEAD holds both company/firm specific and open enrolment executive education programs at its campuses in Europe and Asia and the Middle East, as well as in partnership with corporate universities. Participants usually come from senior or top management, with many years of experience within their company or industry and younger 'high-potentials' identified as being key in succession strategies within their companies. Approximately 12,000 executives from over 125 countries undertake courses or programs at INSEAD each year.[32]

In 2011, INSEAD launched an Executive Certificate in Global Management which is a formal recognition awarded to participants who complete at least three INSEAD global management and leadership programs within a four-year period.[33]
