International Week in Munich: where strategy takes shape
23 March 2026Four days in Munich, in collaboration with Munich Business School. Lectures, company visits, continuous exchange. The International Week of the Executive MBA English Edition is one of the most intense and transformative moments of the journey, where strategic vision meets practical application.
strategy, finally integrated
In Munich, as in Bologna Business School, Faculty combines academic research with international managerial experience. An approach that puts theory to work within real contexts.
The business strategy module becomes a synthesis point of the entire program. Alice Gigliotti, EMBA participant, describes it as a highly formative moment:
“The business strategy module was a key moment in the program: it allowed me to revisit many of the topics covered during the year in a structured and integrated way. It was like putting together a mosaic: elements I was already familiar with gained new meaning, concretely enriching my perspective on global management.”
What was fragmented comes together; what was theoretical becomes a decision-making tool.
inside industry: BMW and Torqeedo
Company visits provide direct access to leading industrial models, showing how strategy, operations, and innovation translate into execution.
At the BMW plant, automation, digitalization, and production flexibility coexist within a highly integrated system. Alice Gigliotti describes it as an experience difficult to replicate in the classroom:
“Entering such an advanced production system made tangible a level of integration between technology and industrial vision that is hard to grasp from the outside.”
Torqeedo, a pioneer in electric marine mobility, offers a different perspective: sustainable innovation and strategic focus as drivers to build competitive advantage in a niche yet rapidly evolving market.
Two complementary models, one clear insight: today, management requires the ability to understand complex systems.
a class that becomes a community
The international experience reshapes group dynamics, amplifying the value of diversity.
The Executive MBA English Edition class is already a rich ecosystem of different cultural and professional backgrounds. In Munich, this diversity is fully activated: exchange is continuous, inside and outside the classroom, generating mutual learning.
“The International Week helped transform the group into a true community of professionals, united by the willingness to grow and challenge themselves.”
A shift from group to community that reflects a defining element of Bologna Business School: building connections that last over time and continue to generate value.
beyond the experience: a global view of management
The International Week is both a moment of synthesis and expansion. It consolidates competencies while broadening perspectives.
In a context where complexity and speed are the norm, experiences like this develop global leadership—the point where the journey comes together and gains direction.
