IDC Herzliya15 Years of Leadership

The modern business world constantly presents executives with new challenges, as the current economic crisis is demonstrating. The Arison School of Business strives to prepare executives and future business leaders for these challenges. To this end, we have developed an MBA program that consists of courses at a high academic level and practical learning. The program is innovative and is continually updated to reflect new developments in business education and the

global arena. It is created and taught by an internationally regarded faculty whose members have lectured at the world’s best universities. They bring the best and latest in international education and a strong commitment to excellent teaching. Since the initiation of our MBA program in 2001, it has been considered one of the leading academic programs in Israel.

The Global MBA Programs are a new addition to our school and offer internationalstudents high-level MBA courses and the opportunity to study in Israel. There are two programs which will be taught in English: the Global Management MBA Program (GMBA) and the Global Entrepreneurship MBA Program (GEMBA). In both, the emphasis is on conducting business in the global arena.

Studying in a program with an international student body gives participants a significant advantage in developing international connections and in discoveringglobal business opportunities. These programs also provide students with the practical tools and theoretical knowledge needed to establish and manage businesses, as well as to develop and implement business initiatives on an international scale.

We expect that our Global MBA Programs will become leading programs both in Israel and internationally.
