world of business was becoming increasingly global in its reach and impact. From its
beginning, Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business has continually
strengthened its innovative approach to executive education. More than a decade ago,
the school introduced international residencies and integrative courses as key compo-
nents of its Executive MBA programs. Today, the McDonough School of Business is

Opening Residency: Intro to Glo-
balization
TheOpeningResidencyaimstointroducetheclass
to the basic challenges and solutions of globaliza-
tion and has three primary goals. The first goal is
to provide the students with an overview of the
program by offering short classes that cover some
of the basic disciplines of business. The knowledge
gained and models studied in these classes will be
applied in the analysis of issues currently facing a
dynamic international industry using a “live case.”
The second goal of the Residency is to give stu-
dents knowledge that they can immediately apply
in their line of work. The goal is to provide useful
insights, recognizing that the student body comes
from diverse backgrounds and possesses different
knowledge and experience.
The third goal is to establish learning teams that
the students will use for the first few months of the
program and build “esprit de corps” within each
team and among all members of the class. The
opening course will help break the ice and create a
community amongst the faculty, staff, and students.
Global Environment of Business
This course examines the political economy of
international business. Today, companies increas-
ingly rely on nonmarket strategies to help shape
the playing field on which they compete. The aim
of this course is to examine how these nonmarket
strategies interact with the market strategies in
a global economy that is strongly influenced by
the “visible hand” of governments and populated
with overlapping international institutions. In par-
ticular, the course starts with nonmarket strategy,
then turns to question how “borderless” the global
economy really is, explores how World Trade Or-
ganization relates to the growing number of pref-
erential trade agreements like the North American
Free Trade Agreement, and concludes by discuss-
ing the tensions between national standards/intel-
lectual property and pressures to harmonize global
standards.
International Business
This course will introduce participants to the most
important topics related to managing successfully
in an international environment. The course will
cover five major topics and introduce managers to
both core concepts and practical insights in deal-
ing with global business. International Trade: What
determines the patterns of exports and imports
among nations. What are the gains and losses from
free trade. Why some industries in a country are
more export competitive than others. Foreign Di-
rect Investment: How firms make the international
expansion decision. The choice among exporting,
licensing, foreign direct investment, and non-equity
strategic alliances. How the firm’s objectives, its
resources and capabilities, and the functioning of
markets determine its choice of expansion. Govern-
ment Policies on Trade and Investment: Why gov-
ernments regulate trade and investment, and how
they do it. Effects of tariffs on businesses, workers,
and consumers. The multilateral regime: what the
World Trade Organization does and how it does it.
The globalization controversy. Economic Integra-
tion: Benefits and costs of economic union and its
effects on companies. Balance of Payments: What
a country’s balance of payments is and what does
the data mean. Problems of adjusting to imbalances
in current and financial accounts; implications for
firms. The arguments about fixed versus flexible ex-
change rates.
Business Government Relations
The purpose of the course is to teach students how
to analyze normative arguments about what go
vernment and corporate policies ought to be, how
to analyze positive arguments regarding claims
made about the effects of government policies on
business, how to understand government policy
making, and how to forecast changes in government
policy. Students have the opportunity to develop
knowledge of political institutions, effects of differ-
ing government policies on national industrial or-
ganisations, and effects of business on government
in the U.S. and abroad. They will be able to reflect
on the appropriate role of corporations in the demo-
cratic political process, and on how civic obligations
should affect students in their roles as managers.
Global Strategy
Though firms know they must compete globally,
few know how. This course, through lectures, case
discussions, the review of scholarly papers, and
projects, helps participants explore the challeng-
es and the solutions to competing globally. The
course offers insights into the creation of competi-
tive advantage for countries and multinationals.
We analyze companies and cross-border competi-
tion in various industries that originate from vari-
ous countries and regions.
The course examines international business from
the point of view of the multinational firm. We ad-
dress issues dealing with the reasons behind FDI,
and the location, mode, and timing of FDI.
We track the paths taken by multinationals from
different industries and regions in their attempt
to internationalize. By highlighting the limitations
of these historical approaches, we zero in on the
concept of a truly global company and identify the
specific and unique advantages of multinationality
available to such a company.
The next section of the course builds an under-
standing of the process of globalization and the
emerging patterns of conducting international
business. The course discusses the tools for
achieving a global competitive advantage -- the
company’s organizational structure, management
systems, culture, leadership, and its strategy. We
also examine crossborder strategic alliances -- an
increasingly important element in a multinational’s
global strategy. Finally, the role of the multinational
corporation in society and the ethical dilemmas
faced by managers are addressed.
Quantitative Research
Methodology
This course will introduce the participant to a se-
ries of research models and paradigms to help or-
ganize, hypothesize, and analyze quantitative data.
Approaches such as quantitative abduction, de-
duction and induction reasoning will be explained
together with tools from data mining, probability,
and statistics. Tools will include survey data collec-
tion and questionnaires, experiments and experi-
mental design, probability and sampling, finding
data, and statistical analysis.
Introduction to Corporate
Finance
This course introduces the main themes of Corpo-
rate Finance: the role of financial markets, valua-
tion, selecting good projects, financing the firm and
risk management.

Marketing
This course provides a managerial orientation to
marketing in complex, rapidly changing, global en-
vironments. The course design provides students
with a working knowledge of activities involved in
developing marketing programs and strategies to
achieve competitive advantage. Consumer beha
vior, competitive analysis, environmental analy-
sis, market segmentation, marketing research,
and other conceptual and analytical tools that fa-
cilitate the management of markets will be intro-
duced. Major marketing decisions will be studied.
The course also examines foreign markets in this
same manner, introducing the tools and concepts
for management of global markets. In the second
part of the course, the major decisions involved in
designing a marketing program will be covered,
including positioning, product development, pric-
ing, distribution, and promotion. The third part of
the course provides an integrated strategic view
of marketing, including the impact of globaliza-
tion, information technology, and implementation
challenges.
Financial Accounting
The course focuses on accounting theory,
generally accepted accounting principles, and
the interpretation of financial statements. The
course covers the basic financial statements,
what information they provide, how they fit
together, how transactions affect them, and
revenue recognition principles. In addition,
students will study accounting for inventory,
property, plant and equipment, liabilities, leas-
es, pensions, taxes, marketable securities, and
stockholders’ equity. The course introduces an-
alytical tools for assessing profitability and risk,
while examining the concepts of quality of earn-
ings and its counterpart, the quality of financial
position. Economic and strategic factors that
affect the interpretation of the rate of return on
assets and rate of return on common equity will
be discussed. The premise of this course is that
students will learn financial statement analysis
most effectively by analyzing actual companies.

Research Methodology
This course aims to prepare students to develop
a research project in business management. The
complete research process is discussed, from the
literature review stage, to hypothesis formulation,
methodological design, and data analysis. Two main
research strategies are studied: case studies and sur-
veys. Statistical tools for quantitative analysis of data
are presented to support questionnaire develop-
ment and hypothesis testing. Case study planning
will be discussed along with tools for analyzing data
from different sources, including interviews and
documents. We will take a practical approach to the
course and focus on providing guidelines for the de-
velopment of students’ own research projects.
Managing People & Organizations
in a Multicultural Environment
This course explores people management and val-
ue creation within business organizations from the
point of view of a multicultural environment. It in-
troduces value management creation, and discusses
the new business environment and its cross-cultural
dilemmas. It also takes a look at value management
and value creation through intangible assets, and
it looks at culture as an intangible corporate asset.
Related topics, aimed at better understanding the
multicultural context, like interpersonal trust, leader-
ship, incentive systems and organizational culture,
are also studied. It then moves on to the importance
of building relationships based on trust and organi-
zational reputation. It uses concrete examples that
demonstrate applicability in multicultural contexts.
The relationship between culture and marketing
is also examined through a brief introduction to
semiotics applied to management studies, in order
to build a bridge between marketing and human re-
source management strategies.
Communication & Brand Manage-
ment in Emerging Economies
The primary goal of this course is to analyze the
marketing environment in emerging economies,
identifying the similarities and differences among
various emerging markets and their implications
in corporate marketing strategy. The second goal
is to understand the different stages of progress
the emerging markets are in, and the applicability
of various communication and brand management
strategies for each market. The final goal is to ana-
lyze how the aforementioned strategies can create
a comprehensive brand architecture that will pro-
vide strategic direction, generate motivating brand
identities and value propositions for the key brands,
develop brand building programs, and result in ef-
fective brand management.
Value Added Finance & Global
Performance
The course covers topics such as shareholder val-
ue; value-based management; value creation and
economic value added; valuation principles; mar-
ket value added and excess return; EVA; working
capital requirement; comparing excess returns,
MVA and EVA; creating value; implementing
EVA; the cost of capital: CAPM, beta and WACC;
arbitrage pricing theory; financial strategy and
value creation; pecking order theory; major ac-
counting adjustments; value drivers; and EVA
versus cash flow return on investment.
Innovation Management in Emerg-
ing Markets
This course will examine the analytical and empiri-
cal basis of the role of technology and innovation
management in firms’ strategies for competitive-
ness in the global market place. These issues will be
examined from the perspective of advanced econo-
mies in association with, and especially from, the
perspective of emerging economies. The course will
combine theoretical perspectives with practical ex-
amplesofsuccessesandfailuresinthemanagement
of technology and innovation at the level of firms,
industries, clusters and also government policy. The
course is centred on three major issues: (i) Techno-
logical capability as a strategic asset for the imple-
mentation of different types of production-based
and innovative activities and for achieving global
competitive performance; (ii) Intra- and inter-firm
learning strategies as sources of technological capa-
bilities; (iii) Impacts of innovation activities on firms’
business performance (technical indicators, produc-
tivity, growth) and environment. These issues will
be addressed from the standpoint of: (i) A compre-
hensive perspective on technology and innovation,
which is concerned not only with the technical as-
pects of technology and innovation, but the organi-
zational, managerial, and institutional dimensions;
(ii) A strategic and critical management perspec-
tive on technology and innovation, without losing a
practical view on implementation mechanisms. The
Module 3

course will be implemented on the basis of interac-
tive lectures, group exercises followed by presenta-
tions, collective discussions of readings (concrete
examples of various experiences of innovation
strategies), interactions with industry/government
experts, technical visits to relevant organizations.

Leading Global Change
Making a difference is the ultimate standard by
which we judge our leaders. But to make a diffe
rence is not easy. To lead, you must have the abil-
ity to inspire by articulating and communicating
an exciting vision of the future. However, an in-
spiring vision is not enough. You must also have
the ability to influence others to work together to
realize that vision. The keys to successful influ-
ence are building a base of power and demon-
strating the political savvy necessary to manage
the politics and conflict associated with leading
change. The primary objective of this course is to
help you understand and master the skills associ-
ated with leadership and power.
Corporate Responsibility &
Sustainable World
The purpose of the course is to enhance student
appreciation for and ability to deal with ethical,
public, and crucial dimensions of problems you
will face as managers. The course emphasizes
the interplay between the economic dimensions
of those problems and their ethical, political, and
social aspects. The course is designed to familiar-
ize students with the recurring ethical problems
faced by managers in their dealings with others
inside and outside their company, and the recur-
ring normative problems of public policy and
regulation concerning business. Students will be
introduced to key concepts, principles, and ap-
proaches to normative analysis, and given prac-
tice in recognizing and evaluating arguments.
Students will have the opportunity to reflect on
their own values as they relate to the job of the
manager.

industry, guided by industry executives and a pro
ven, proprietary industry simulation that identi-
fies drivers of industry change, devises new cor-
porate strategies to improve profitability and gain
long-term competitive advantage and negotiates
mergers and acquisitions, and identifies partner-
ing agreements and alliances. Participants will be
required to apply everything they learn during the
program to succeed.
One of the most important benefits of taking a
Master's Degree program is the opportunity it
offers to consolidate the participant’s expertise
by asking him/her to write and defend a Master's
thesis.
Participants are required to complete and present
a Master’s thesis, which is a research project
completed after obtaining at least 24 credits from
attending lectures offered under the program.
The thesis subject should be related to the
participant’s work expertise and the program's
content, agreed upon between the participant and
his research advisor. The advisor is a professor
who is a specialist on the subject in question.

Leading Yourself, Others, &
Organizations
This course will allow participants to better
understand their strengths and weaknesses re-
lated to the critical capabilities of successful lead-
ership. The aim is to identify the gap between the
actual and required corporate leadership capabili-
ties in order to successfully implement strategy.
During the face-to-face sessions and the one-to-
one executive coaching sessions, the objective is
to reduce this gap as much as possible. Partici-
pants learn to deal more effectively with the fol-
lowing challenges:
· Defining the different roles in a team and how
they can be combined to create high-perfor-
mance teamwork.
· Identifying when teamwork is needed and how
you can deal with different profiles within your
team.
· Understanding team development and manage
ment, as well as key success factors to create
bottom-line impact.
· Understanding how asymmetrical information
and interests can affect team performance.
· Analyzing how teams make high-impact deci-
sions in stressful situations.
Corporate Finance & Performance
The primary aim of the course is to understand
how to make investment and financing decisions.
By the end of the course, you will better unders
tand the time value of money, the functioning of
capital markets, how to evaluate opportunities to
raise debt and equity, and how to perform valu-
ation of stocks, bonds, and companies. You will
also have a greater knowledge of financial data
sources, the use of spreadsheets to build financial
models, capital budgeting analysis for corporate
projects; and portfolio theory. This course empha-
sizes the application of finance principles to busi-
ness cases, including an introduction to the use of
derivatives for risk management. We analyze the
international financial environment and the op-
eration of global financial markets, the economics
of currency markets and foreign exchange risk,
the mechanics and corporate uses of derivative,
strategic business alternatives, and operational
practices to manage risk, the decisions of com-
panies as to when to hedge and not, and how to
hedge using financial instruments. Organizations
need to implement their strategies using key
performance indicators which facilitate choos-
ing the investments and projects that contribute
most to creating a competitive advantage. Flex-
ibility requires integration between performance

Learning Methodologies

ESADE-EBAPE/FGV Corporate Inter-
national Master's program, you will be
challenged and strengthened by both
the faculty and your classmates. We
carefully select seasoned, high-poten-
tial participants whose diverse careers,
skill sets and cultural backgrounds
complement your own.
One of the most vibrant features of the
Georgetown - ESADE - EBAPE/FGV
program is the team approach to learn-
ing. You will work collaboratively on
coursework and projects, drawing upon
the skills, knowledge and backgrounds
of your teammates. This dynamic inter-
play of interests and strengths increases
the value of the experience for every-
one. You will develop friendships and
professional relationships that will last
a lifetime. You will benefit from an ex-
pandedworldview,abroaderknowledge
base and greater confidence in resolv-
ing complex organizational challenges
across functions.
Each module is a “deep immersion”
experience that integrates core MBA
courses, specially designed integrative
courses, and a series of special topics
and briefings. All elements of the mod-
ules are developed to take the greatest
advantage of the residency location.
While the core MBA courses ensure
that you master fundamental business
disciplines and general management
skills, the integrative courses combine
these disciplines and challenge you to
apply your management skills to live
cases.
Every module also gives you time to
extend your personal and professional
network as well as enhance your glob-
al perspective. Networking events will
introduce you to local Georgetown,
ESADE, and EBAPE/FGV alumni as
well as leading local business execu-
tives and government officials.
