HEC Paris Executive Link®
Press Release
Joint seminar HEC-WUT in Paris on “Corporate Transformation”
Jouy-en-Josas, 23rd June 2006
HEC EMBA has a strong established tradition of exchanging with partner schools
abroad. The open platform for international exchange HEC Executive Link® was created
in this spirit and can be used in three different ways:
- one module abroad within a partner school
- exchanging individual participants who may take modules in partner school
- special common international events where different business schools join
efforts for a common pedagogy
As part of these HEC Executive Link® events, HEC is organizing a roundtable on
“Corporate Transformation” and a strategy business game aimed at HEC EMBA
participants and their counterparts in Poland from the Warsaw University of Technology
Business School EMBA.
This joint seminar HEC-WUT in Paris is a great experience bringing together the two
cohorts of students.
France is today number one investor in Poland which is one of the fastest growing
economies of Central Europe.
WUT BS has been created in 1991 by HEC, LBS and NHH and focuses on MBA, EMBA
and Executive Education. The Executive MBA of WUT Business School is a two-year
part-time postgraduate programme. Since its creation WUT Business School has
graduated more 1,200 MBAs (Full Time and Executive). WUT is number one University
of Technology in Poland.
Now that the enlarged Europe is no longer a mere intellectual construction, we wish to
invite you to share our mutual experience in the fields of acquisition and transformation:
a complex and multidimensional issue.
