In his speech, Prof. Russo outlined the vision of the Master&#8217;s program and the innovations of this new edition, designed to offer an increasingly rich and complete educational experience of exceptional quality. &#8220;<\/span><b>The Global MBA received a five-year accreditation from EFMD<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> last February, a prestigious recognition enjoyed by only a few programs worldwide,&#8221; said the Director. He also highlighted the program&#8217;s strengths: &#8220;<\/span><b>Rigor and academic excellence<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, focus on relevant societal issues like <\/span><b>sustainability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>new technologies<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a rich ecosystem of stakeholders, and strong participation from the industry in all phases of the program&#8217;s design and delivery.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most significant innovations of this edition is the introduction of the &#8220;<\/span><b>alter ego&#8221; project<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Each course will have a primary instructor and their &#8220;alter ego,&#8221; a prominent professional in the relevant field with international experience and engagement on critical societal issues. This approach will offer students <\/span><b>a practical and applied perspective<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on some of the concepts developed in the classroom, allowing them to understand how theories and concepts are applied in the real world, along with their implications and limitations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making the event even more engaging was the <\/span><b>roundtable<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> discussion titled <\/span><b>&#8220;A More Egalitarian Society: Dialogue Between Science and Practice,&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> featuring a panel composed of<\/span><b> Cristina Bowerman<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Michelin-starred Chef and BBS lecturer; <\/span><b>Mikhail Masleniikov<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Researcher and Political Consultant for Oxfam Italy; and <\/span><b>Esther Kim<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Associate Professor at the University of Southern California and expert in learning and inclusion techniques. In the afternoon, students met <\/span><b>Industry Leaders<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from various fields connected to the Global MBA tracks, such as<\/span><b> Design, Fashion and Luxury Goods, Supercars, Superbikes and Motorsports, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><b> Food and Wine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Among the speakers were <\/span><b>Angelo Manaresi<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Alberto Festa<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Design, Fashion and Luxury Goods; <\/span><b>Federico Munari <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for Supercars, Superbikes and Motorsports; and <\/span><b>Ludovica Leone<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Food and Wine. The day concluded with a visit to the <\/span><b>Museum of Modern Art (MAMbo) <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in Bologna, where Director <\/span><b>Lorenzo Balbi<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> led a discussion on the city&#8217;s role in promoting culture and the cultural and artistic opportunities available to Bologna Business School students during their year in this dynamic and opportunity-rich city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the following days, activities such as the <\/span><b>Climate Fresk Challenge,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a tour of Bologna, and a <\/span><b>Lego Serious Play<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> session took place\u2014actions aimed at providing a complete educational experience and a preview of what awaits the students in the coming months. Guided by Prof. Russo&#8217;s words: &#8220;<\/span><b>What does it mean to be a student of the Global MBA at Bologna Business School? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It means understanding one&#8217;s <\/span><b>responsibilities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and immediately realizing the enormous <\/span><b>contribution<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> each student can make to our society to create a world that offers more opportunities and less inequality for all global citizens. It also means <\/span><b>learning to enjoy this unforgettable experience<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and this significant moment that will change your lives in a way you may not always be able to imagine. It will be a positive change.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ad maiora.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 20 marked the
