ENPC School of international Management, Paris

[rahul_parab2006]

Founded in 1747, the Ecole nationale des ponts et chaussées (ENPC) was the original Grandes Ecole d´Ingenieurs. Regarded as the most elite schools in France, the Grandes Ecoles d´Ingenieurs were established to train the country´s foremost engineers. These schools have evolved over the years, retaining nevertheless their position as the leading educational institutions in France.

Increasing emphasis on internationalisation and the importance of management training led the Ecole nationale des ponts et chaussées to establish The ENPC School of International Management in 1987. Since its inception, The ENPC School of International Management has received significant support from the mother school and been given the opportunity to duplicate its winning model overseas in Morocco and China, where the School´s Shanghai-based program has become the official ParisTech MBA in China.

In 2004, the The ENPC School of International Management reinforced further its ties to the ENPC engineering tradition by launching an MBA with a specialisation in Technology & Entrepreneurship. Not only was this initiative inspired by the school´s rich engineering heritage, but it also reflected an increasing emphasis within ENPC on the study of technology and innovation.

Today the School of International Management offers an MBA in International Management, an MBA in Technology and Entrepreneurship, a Tri-Continent MBA and an Executive MBA, plus a range of undergraduate and postgraduate level teaching and executive programs. All courses are delivered from the downtown Paris campus in the vibrant Saint-Germain des Prés quarter.

The School of International Management shares a mission with the ENPC, which is:

To develop managers and leaders who thrive in multicultural and multidisciplinary environments and who have the potential to become ‘engineers of society’.

The School´s unique pedagogical approach stems from the firm belief that in today´s world effective business leadership cannot be achieved without a strong commitment to ethical values and a comprehensive understanding of cultural diversity. All the MBA courses are therefore guided by two common teaching principles: value-based global leadership and enrichment through diversity and integration.

Center for Excellence on Technology & Entrepreneurship

The Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (ENPC) was established in 1747 as the world’s first civil engineering school, committed to the creation of an elite French corps of engineers. The ENPC is celebrated for having produced inventors such as Louis Vicat, the creator of ‘Grey Gold’, or cement, and Philippe Lebon, the first person to successfully use 'artificial' gas as a means of illumination on a large scale.

In continuing with this tradition, in January 2004, the ENPC School of International Management launched the Center for Excellence on Technology & Entrepreneurship. The T&E Center builds a bridge between industry and education by offering a diverse portfolio of courses, activities and events in a dynamic and supportive environment where participants feel creative.

The cornerstone of activity at the T&E Center is the MBA in Technology & Entrepreneurship which offers participants a rich selection of courses including Innovation Management, IT and e-Business, Strategic Creativity, Competitive Intelligence and Technology Transfer, Marketing of High-Tech Products, Venture Capital/Entrepreneurial Finance, Technology Management, Business Planning, Entrepreneurial Leadership, and Performance Assessment and valuation of Innovative Enterprises. The ENPC MBA is today the only international MBA program in France offering a specialization in Technology & Entrepreneurship.
