Business School of the aristocracy

As early as 1959, the first batch of 57 students in the MBA program of the European Institute of Business Administration in Fontainebleau, France went into the palace, the emperor who this

palace of luxury place to start a business school works to change fundamentally the course, add a cultural touch to this piece of beautiful scenery and heritage of the land. Thus began, INSEAD

became one-year MBA program pioneers school, with respect to innovation, freedom and international insistence, school links Europe, Asia, the Americas learning network, has become the

world's top business schools one. The difference is that American business schools, INSEAD will never regard themselves as a French school, more than one school in Singapore, but truly

Our most important school culture is characterized by
diversity, students from different countries, double or even
triple nationalities very much. The vast majority of students
have learning experience for many years working
overseas. Many people are born in a country, I went to
college in another country, and then to a third country,
which has almost become the students to introduce
themselves in a template of. So I think, at INSEAD, this
diversity also means that almost every student have been
different cultures. Probably because they come from such
a complex background, so there must be an open and
inclusive approach to integration INSEAD, and make its
own contribution. From work background, we come from
