TDE
As we approach the end of 2010, I am delighted to
confirm that our activities throughout this past year have
been rewarded with success – our programmes which are
achieving ever better rankings in the international
evaluations published by the Financial Times and the
Economist (detailed later in this Newsletter); the
expansion of our international operations, particularly in
the Middle East, and the increasing number of enrolments
– we now host a total of 1 507 students in France and off-
site. This is the highest number we have welcomed since
the creation of GGSB back in 1995, and is a further
testimony to the world-wide recognition of the quality of
our training.
The response to the recent introduction of our latest product, the MSc in
Management Consulting, is very encouraging – the small group of excellent
students enrolled for the first year of this course is already expressing its pleasure
that this specialisation is now available at GGSB. We are expecting this new Master
to attract a considerable number of applicants next year.
Overseas activities also continue to occupy much of our time. Our presence in
Dubai will be highlighted by a meeting of local Alumni with the GGSB management
team; we will also be in Cairo for the inauguration of our new office there. These
Middle Eastern activities are a key part of the strategy that we developing for this
region of the world which we see as an important player for our future expansion.
As we prepare to enjoy the Christmas and New Year break, I send you all my very
best wishes for a Happy Christmas and prosperous New Year. I look forward to
being in touch with you early in 2011 to share our latest news with you again then.
Sincerely,
Judith Bouvard

ALUMNI NEWS
Congratulations go to Laurent Scaringella who successfully defended his
DBA thesis in July 2010! ALNEWS
Dr. Laurent SCARINGELLA holds a Master in International Business - MIB 21 2008!
He defended DBA thesis on July 27, 2010. His expertise concerns the paradigm change toward the
knowledge based economy with a focus on the ICT sector and more specifically, nanotechnologies.
He has been involved in several European Commission–funded projects to develop new theoretical
outputs related to technology and innovation management. His knowledge in territorial innovation
models earned him a role in orienting the best network practices for Grenoble‟s micro-
nanotechnology cluster. He also teaches advanced strategy to graduate students. In January 2011,
Laurent Scaringella will be visiting scholar at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley.
Thesis abstract:
This thesis makes a statement about the emergence of the knowledge-based economy (KBE) and variables that
influence the change processes and innovation in Grenoble. A KBE is a new social and economic paradigm that
replaces the industrial economy with a world of intangible assets, driven by knowledge. This uncertain paradigm shift
represents a significant interest for economists and sociologists. The literature review suggests a broad range of 26
variables that might influence knowledge dynamics in an economy, also known as the KBE Alphabet. Those variables
are analytically presented to define the dimensions required. All the variables are highly related and lead to a
relationships model composed of 195 theoretical relationships.
The empirical study is based on narrative biographies, and three case studies with firms of different sizes rely on
semi-structured interviews and tests of theoretical tools, variables, and dimensions identified in the literature review.
The knowledge interactions create a global picture of change and time-space illustrations of knowledge map. A new
developed research procedure increases the reliability of each case study.
The empirical part also uses a quantitative approach. A questionnaire measures the influence of each variable on
knowledge dynamics and territorial features. Multivariate regression measures provide feedback about the 195
theoretical relationships. This thesis also implements new knowledge governance tools, such as the knowledge
balanced scorecard.
This thesis represents the first step of research into the information and communication technology sector as a
worldwide playground.
MBA NEWSLETTER
MBA news
Dear MBA Alumni and Students,
I am very pleased to send you your first MBA newsletter on behalf of Phil Eyre, our MBA
Program Director:
„Hello Everyone,
I have many positive points to give you regarding the MBA program so I‟ll focus on the
essentials.
Student Numbers:
In Grenoble September 2010 saw the arrival of 42 FT and 10 PT MBAs, as well as 23 returning for the second year of
the PT program. These joined the latest groups already enrolled in PT Moscow (27) and in PT Tbilisi, Georgia (20).
In October we welcomed 30 students to the third intake of the London Full Time program.
In cooperation with Schneider Electric we are preparing a corporate version of the MBA to be delivered in Riyadh for
Schneider Saudi Arabia and their partners to be launched December 2010.
The Economist 2010 MBA Rankings
In the latest rankings we have moved into 23rd position (Europe) and 62nd position in the world, from 31st and 81st last
year. The Financial Times ranked GGSB at 19th in Europe last December.
MBA Program Review for 2011 implementation
With the support of colleagues we completed a review of the program content, which is a standard procedure now for
all programs. As a result we will have 30 hour and 15 hour modules in place of the current 36/18/12 format. This
allows us to bring in new core modules that accreditors, companies and students have indicated a need for. They will
be:
Sustainability
Risk Management
Macroeconomics
Geopolitics
Governance
Contract Law
There will also be further time devoted to Finance and to Accounting.
Specialisations Choice
This has evolved to 9 possible alternatives
Management Consulting
Finance
Marketing
Global Management
Business Intelligence
Entrepreneurship
Innovation Management
Biotechnology
Project Management (in London)
Study Aboad Trip
In 2009 the first MBA Study Abroad trip took place to Budapest, and this was a major success, from every point of
view, including company visits, conferences on Europe, and discovery of the Hungarian culture and if you have never
been to Budapest I strongly recommend it : the cuisine is not just goulash!
Career Services
Following student requests and thanks to colleagues in GEM Career Services some major innovations have occurred
here. The first MBA CV profile books complete with photos were launched for MBA FT11 this year, and the first
Alumni-Student-Company Networking event took place with a cocktail at school on October 11th. We look forward to
seeing more Alumni present at the same time in 2011. The personal development content of the program has also
been intensified.
As you are probably aware networking is a critical part of the job-finding process. Our school network is a vital asset
today so please take the time to update the alumni website (graduate network) on http://graduatenetwork.grenoble-

impacted (or not) the direction taken after graduation. Many MBA program candidates are interested in examples of
this. In any case please keep us informed of your career evolution.‟

In Brief
Rankings: GGSB’s MBA jumps 19 places Ranking
GGSB‟s MBA improved its standing by 19 spots in the Global and 8 spots in the
European annual rankings published by The Economist/Which MBA.
The GGSB MBA programme is ranked 62nd worldwide and 23rd in Europe.
GGSB is also highly ranked worldwide within several sub-categories: 8th for
“Number of graduates in jobs three months after graduation”; 6th for “Student Quality”; 1st for “Percentage of Women
Students”; and 15th in the world for “International diversity score”.
This is the ninth year that The Economist has published a ranking of full-time MBA programmes.
This ranking is largely based on student and graduate responses to a survey designed by The Economist. One of the
Grenoble graduate feedbacks posted on The Economist website states: “The delivery of the MBA is packaged
excellently. At the end of the day, you step out fully ready to face the outside world.”
Judith Bouvard, Dean of GGSB, said: “These performances both in Europe and worldwide reflect the strength and
quality of our programme that offers graduates vast opportunities in an ever so competitive labour market.”
The Full-time MBA is delivered in Grenoble, London, Moscow, Tbilisi and Malta. There are 43 students, representing
22 nationalities in the newest intake in Grenoble.
GGSB’s MIB in the top 5 best Masters in Management
in the world!
Grenoble Graduate School of Business‟s Master in International Business (MIB) has been
ranked 5th Best Master in Management in the world by the Financial Times (FT) on the 20th
September 2010, gaining two ranks compared to 2009.
GGSB is also highly ranked within several sub-categories: 2nd in « International Mobility», 5th
in « International Course Experience» and 10th for « Careers ».
Overall, the GGSB is still ranked within the “the top group of Masters in Management
providers”, according to the FT.
The Financial Times ranked an additional 15 schools this year, reinforcing the position of the MIB programme which
has always been ranked in the top 8 since the creation of the ranking in 2005.
“This ranking confirms once again the quality and excellence of our MIB programme, and reinforces the international
visibility of our institution. Our MIB Graduates and students can be proud of this result which makes their degree very
attractive in an international labour market ever so competitive and multicultural” says Judith Bouvard, Dean of GGSB.
Created in 1995 by GGSB, the MIB is conducted entirely in English with two intakes each year – September and
January. It is open to students from all nationalities with a bachelor‟s degree in any discipline, with or without
professional experience. GGSB‟s MIB in delivered in Grenoble, London and Singapore and other locations are
currently planned. Highly international, the MIB intake examined for this ranking consisted of 314 students, of which
87% were international.
The MIB is accredited by AMBA and the CNCP (Commission Nationale de la Certification Professionnelle) certification
- Level I giving access to a variety of management positions in many different sectors of industry worldwide.
Grenoble sets up base in the heart of Egypt Egypt
Having expanded internationally to locations such as India, China, Russia, and
more recently Saudi Arabia, Grenoble Graduate School of Business (GGSB)
has opened a brand new recruitment office in Cairo, Egypt, to further expand its
growing presence in the Middle East.
This new project is supported by a recent cooperation between GGSB and the
Cultural Office of the Egyptian Embassy in Paris. This agreement will support
GGSB in its recruitment of Egyptian students. These students will also be able
to benefit from Egyptian governmental scholarships.
Managed by one of GGSB‟s MIB (Master in International Business) graduates, John Antonios, the Cairo-based office
is ideally located to manage several projects the Grenoble school is currently involved in, in Middle East.
John Antonios, Business Development Manager – GGSB Middle East & Africa Office said: “This
new office reflects the success of GGSB in this region and the need to expand to give more one-
to-one service assistance to applicants and to collaborate with reputable universities in the
Middle East”.
Gael Fouillard, Executive Education Manager at GGSB said: “In the past few years we have
noticed a growing interest for our programs from individual candidates, but also from institutions
and corporate clients in the Middle-East. In this context, our experience of delivering
international programs in several campuses worldwide is very much sought after.”
Capital of Egypt and the largest city in North Africa and the Middle East, Cairo is also home to
the world's second-oldest higher education institution Al-Azhar University.
John Antonios
GGSB has similar recruitment offices in New Delhi, Beijing, Shanghai, Beirut, Teheran, Mexico City, and New York.
The school has off-site campuses in London, Russia, Moldova, Georgia Tbilisi, Malta, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and
Singapore.

Congratulations to the winning team of Exist Prime
Cup Competition! From Taran Patel, MIB Program Director T
P
Over 600 teams have taken part in the Germany’s biggest case study
and business simulation competition - the Exist Prime Cup. At the
Champions Cup in Berlin, 15 teams made its way through 4 stages to
the final. The aim of the Exist Prime cup is to raise the abilities of the
participants as an Entrepreneur or for a Business takeover.
In the Champions Cup we, [Ulrich Rebele, Moritz Brandstetter, Ayman Saad
(all industrial engineers) and Sebastian Hohentanner (Japanese studies)]
took over a virtual company in the solar industry. The 15 teams were split into
3 different markets. Through good decision making over five periods - e.g. in fields of Human resources, production
planning, purchasing and pricing - we reached the highest share price compared to all other teams. To make sure we
will make it to the very final – consisting of the best three teams; evaluated by both their simulation performance and
presentation skills - we had to host press conference about “the sustainability of our business”. We also convinced the
jury here and thus the decision board - consisting out of 10 jurors from industry, politics and culture - elected us
among their top 3 candidates.
As the overall market winner we finally had to give a presentation in front of potential investors, consisting out of 30
jurors and the residual audience of around 120 people. Eventually the jurors decided that we convinced them the most
and thus we won the Exist Prime Cup 2010. Link of the competition
We are very proud of you, Moritz and Ulrich, and we hope
that you keep up the good work!

The major achievement for MSC Business Development program is the signature of a 3
years partnership with Michelin.
Michelin and Grenoble Ecole de Management – Grenoble Graduate School of Business–
have renewed their ties after signing a three-year partnership involving major joint-
initiatives.
The world‟s largest tyre manufacturer is sponsoring a number of GEM‟s programs. The
partnership has already resulted in several recruitments of GGSB graduates by Michelin.
Michelin is particularly involved in GGSB‟s MSc Business Development program. Students
on the program benefit from intensive training – live business cases – delivered by Michelin
throughout the year. Last year the training resulted in field work on Michelin‟s business
development in India. This year, students will be going to China to study similar activities.
During their course of study, students will also examine the cultural and managerial
differences, as well as the best Chinese negotiation techniques. They will arrive in China
with the aim of offering concrete proposals for the development of Michelin‟s activities in the country – proposals that
will then be detailed in their end-of-program dissertation.
Students will be examining two cases this year:
1) In order to build a robust geographical Michelin footprint in China, what would be your strategy?
2) How can Michelin become an eco-friendly industrial company in China?
The compulsory Chinese Residency will take place from the 28th February to the 6th March 2011 in Shanghai and
Beijing. The class of 45 students will also have the opportunity of visiting several businesses and attending lectures on
Chinese business culture.
Another highlight of the MSC Innovation Strategy Entrepreneurship and MSc Business Development is the launch of
9 live business cases : with MICHELIN, SCHNEIDER, AIRSTAR, PUZZLE EVENT, BACKER HUGHES, Chinese
FDI , GORGY TIMING , STARZIK .
This year‟s study for Business Development is focused on identifying opportunities on the Chinese market for a
European company. Alternatively, the Innovation case study could cover disruptive innovation, design innovation,
product managerial or services innovation issues.

From Thierry Grange, Dean of Grenoble Ecole de Management T
G
Debate: Did the crisis have a consequence on job opportunities for
graduates?
Did the crisis have a consequence on job opportunities for graduates? No. Whilst in
emerging countries, economic growth continues to create jobs, in Western countries,
demography means that there are still many jobs for graduates.
Did the crisis have a consequence on student recruitment? Again the answer is no. The
crisis meant that more and more people were interested in Business Education and
student recruitment numbers have thus risen.
The major consequences of the crisis have been on Business Schools' resources, both
human and financial. Human: with regards to faculty shortage. With present numbers of
Phds in Business Administration enrolments, faculty retirements and rising student
enrolments in management education, it is estimated there is a shortage of approximately
1000 Doctorates of Business Administration in Europe. Financial resources may shrink due to budget cuts and low
economic growth rate.
What will change the most is the restructuration of Business Schools towards mergers and acquisitions because
schools are going to be below minimal resources, below break even size, schools are going to have to ally to survive.
Of course, everyone is talking about mergers but in reality there has been very few mergers over the last 30 years and
there will be very few in the future. On the other hand, there will be many acquisitions taking place.
Why? Schools in good shape for competition do not intend to merge, on the contrary, they intend to „absorb' some
academic capacities: faculty, facilities and corporate relations to be stronger than their next darling competitor.
Further to the first consequence on Business Schools resources discussed above, the other consequence I predict is
on the investment that Business Schools will put in Innovation to modernize knowledge delivery, techniques and
curriculum content. This is will probably be called Business Schools 3.0. It is good news: Business Schools will
improve the relevance of their programs, research activities, and services to the community.
