Why did you choose to undertake the Rotman-SDA Bocconi GEMBA?
Two reasons. First of all, due to the fact I am dispatched from China HQ in Italy. Secondly, I was recommended by my local colleague due to the TOP ranking of SDA Bocconi worldwide. In the meanwhile, I would say that another reason is the cost package vs ROI.
Which personal/professional needs/motivations lie behind your choice?
Enhancing my theoretic knowledge and growing up myself for my future.
How is this choice satisfying your needs?
I have really enjoyed a lot the professionalism and global allocation of all modules.
What is your most important takeaway in attending international modules across the world?
I got the heavy influence from the module in Brazil, related to renewable energy. Therefore, now I changed my job from home appliances to renewable energy business. I do believe this is valuable also environmental protection, and I really enjoyed that.
Describe your GEMBA experience in 3 words/adjectives.
Professional. Influence. Added Value!
SDA Bocconi Global Executive MBA is an outstanding program, which perfectly fits the needs of a modern executive who is willing to reinforce and properly complement his competences.
I am extremely satisfied with the quality of teaching and lecturers as well as the composition of the classroom. A stimulating environment with great possibilities for long lasting networking, extended by initiatives of the Bocconi Alumni Community.
What I find stimulating is the level of challenge in terms of study. This program requires smart and serious efforts and this contributes to raise the bar in terms of the objective to be achieved: a key feature to a modern executive seekings to keep up with his ambition.
I particularly appreciate the feeling of a perfect blend between rigorous academic study of fundamental subjects together with a well-balanced contextualization into the real working life requirements for leading a company in a contest of complexity, change, innovation and people management.
A very satisfactory and constructive experience which is adding a great deal of value to my overall competence to exploit current and future executive responsibilities.
The Rotman-SDA Bocconi GEMBA is a challenge to be taken on with a strong dedication.
