"Over time, we've grown multifold and built programs that marry global curriculum principles with locally relevant practices. Our school is the best of two worlds international scholastic flavors with a strong local corporate ecosystem", observed Alessandro Giuliani, Managing Director, SDA Bocconi Asia Center.

Designed to cater to the requirements of the current world, the IEMB program provides 9+ years of working experience with entrepreneurial entrepreneurs with an enriched learning experience. A 15-month program with a well-balanced combination of monthly three-day weekend modules alternating with a few online sessions provides students with sufficient opportunities to learn from industry practitioners. One of the USPs of the IEMB is its active two-week International Immersion at SDA Bocconi School of Management in Milan, Italy, concluding in a Concentration Week that allows participants to concentrate in one of four advanced streams with global peers.

Highlighting the significance of this 10th edition, IEMB Academic Director Professor Veronica Vecchi described, "Today's fast-changing world requires leaders to think strategically, act nimbly, and lead empathetically. Beyond functional expertise, what separates good leaders is the ability to respond to uncertainty, challenge conventional wisdom, and generate purposeful change. The 10th edition of IEMB still builds these skills, preparing professionals to lead confidently and clearly in a constantly changing global world".

On program completion, the students are conferred an International Executive Master in Business degree by SDA Bocconi School of Management, Italy, and 60 ECTS credits. They also become Bocconi Alumni with a global network of over 140,000 professionals.
