8 Corporate Sponsorship

For those considering participating in the OneMBA, gaining their company’s support is vital. Participants are away from work while attending classes and residencies. However, companies receive immediate benefits from their employee’s renewed focus, knowledge and networks. Full or partial corporate financial support is recommended, but not required.

Corporate Perspective For the OneMBA, companies usually consider: - Mid- to senior-level managers - Employees with strong potential to advance into senior executive roles - Employees whose career path reflects increasing responsibilities that require OneMBA skills and knowledge

Employee Perspective Employees considering the OneMBA program must be highly motivated to increase their corporate value. Preparing a formal request for sponsorship will increase the chance of gaining corporate support. See www.OneMBA.org for examples of personalized requests for your home region.

Self-sponsored Perspective Professionals may sponsor themselves. They should consider the time required and how participation will affect their company.

9 Companies today depend on expanding and investing in international markets to sustain growth. No single business school can capture the extensive diversity of practice and perspective involved in this new global business arena.

This is why five premier business schools in Asia, Europe, North America and South America joined together to create the OneMBA – the first truly global MBA program. Designed for executives and professionals looking for the best in global business education, the OneMBA offers participants the opportunity to experience business through the lens of the world’s most important economic regions, making it unparalleled in its development of leadership skills, global networks, and experience in global business.

In the OneMBA, participants experience:

• Four week-long global residencies on four continents • A curriculum designed through the collaboration of five top-ranked business schools located around the world • A flexible design over 21 months, allowing continued career momentum • A powerful global network in a classroom of around 100 global participants • An opportunity to share best practices and perspectives through global teamwork • Projects designed to bring value to sponsoring companies

OneMBA sets a new standard for global executive MBA programs, connecting executives to the best in business education.

10 POWERFUL GLOBAL COMMUNITY When you join the OneMBA program, you become a lifelong member of the global OneMBA community. This community offers an invaluable resource for you and your company, both during the program, and after graduation. Many participants claim the network of international contacts they build is as important for their career as the knowledge they gain through the curriculum.

The OneMBA network represents business professionals that include:

1. Executive OneMBA students from five partner schools The worldwide OneMBA class is made up of approximately 100 executive participants living and working around the globe. The typical OneMBA participant is 38 years old and has 13 years of professional work experience. OneMBA students come from a wide range of companies and industries.

2. Executive Alumni After graduation, the OneMBA participants join the OneMBA alumni community, repesented by the Alumni Board. Current students and alumni remain in contact through the Alumni LinkedIn Community, a password -protected network that is a continuously expanding resource for executives and their companies as they manage, source, sell and compete around the globe. Today, more than 80 percent of OneMBA alumni are part of the LinkedIn network.

23 Five schools. * Four continents. OneMBA

THE ONEMBA DIFFERENCE “I was initially attracted to OneMBA’s focus on globalization and training global executive leaders. But beyond that, OneMBA also emphasizes corporate social responsibility. During the European residency, we studied the benefits and challenges of corporate sustainability practices. In Latin America, we saw first-hand how organizations were working to create a stronger local economy by improving the welfare of the poor. I don’t think you would find this emphasis in a typical MBA program. That’s what impressed me most about OneMBA.” Fanny Ching OneMBA Class of 2007, CUHK
