THINK LARGE AND BRING THE WORLD TO LYON: A CASE STUDY OF IAE LYON’S INTERNATIONAL WEEK PROGRAM A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Educational Leadership Doctoral Program Western Kentucky University Bowling Green, Kentucky In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education By Pamela J. Decker May 2017 THINK LARGE AND BRING THE WORLD TO LYON: A CASE STUDY OF IAE LYON'S INTERNATIONAL WEEK PROGRAM “Business leaders are philosophers in action who are not only aware of the complexity of their issues but also of the responsibilities that lie with their role and endow them with a moral duty. They do not only shape objects, but build the destiny of men.” (Gaston Berger, 1955, Philosopher and Business Leader, founder of IAEs, French University Schools of Management) I dedicate this dissertation to Dean Jérôme Rive and all of the lovely individuals from IAE Lyon School of Management who continue to follow the wisdom of their school’s founder.
