The Grenoble Graduate School of Business is currently part of an exciting new project – GIANT Innovation Campus: wherein eight institutions have joined forces under a single banner. The GIANT Innovation Campus initiative is driven by an ambitious goal: to become one of the world's top campuses in research, higher education, and technology transfer to industry. The aim of the GIANT project is to respond to major challenges confronting our society today, such as communication technologies, renewable energies and environmental problems, bioscience and human health. GIANT is also about a major urban development with new buildings and infrastructures: student housings, leisure centers, parks, restaurants and a whole new tramline, linking GIANT to the city centre in just a few minutes. Grenoble Ecole de Management will also open a brand new building and library on the GIANT site. Apart from that, Grenoble scored again very good on the internet activity index of Findyourmba. Apart from that, 98% of the graduated MBA students have a job in three months. Students end up working for Hewlett-Packard; Google; Schneider Electric Groupe Seb; Airbus; L'Oréal. We look forward to the development of the GIANT project!

Differentiating factors

Grenoble Ecole de Management is very much involved in training with a difference, what we call “differentiated pedagogy”: thus programs include “Drama & Management” (during which students are invited to act out various managerial situations), “Equine Ethology training” (working with horses on the principles of leadership), the MBA Mount Everest Leadership and Teamwork Simulation. Students on the MBA must hold a diary during the entire course of study which will be graded. Investment will continue in these different trainings in the future, with new ways of training put in place.
