"Being an entrepreneur means having a mind-set that helps you look beyond existing protocol and think creatively. It means being able to identify business opportunities and having the skills to exploit them profitably. It is about creating tangible value for your organization and managing innovation. In today’s global business environment, an entrepreneurial approach to doing business is key to the success of any manager in any organization anywhere.

This is is the reason why three of the world’s leading institutions in the field of entrepreneurship joined forces and mutually developed a program to help you develop these skills. Offered on three continents, the Global Entrepreneurship Program provides you with the exceptional opportunity to benefit from the world’s best entrepreneurial teaching in three diverse global markets.

During your time in the Global Entrepreneurship Program you will develop the mind-set you need to succeed anywhere in the world, regardless of whether you choose to work in an existing company or set up your own. I am looking forward to welcoming you on EMLYON’s European campus in France, for the start of an exciting global learning experience.

Frédéric Delmar is a professor at the Strategy and Organization Department at EMLYON Business School. He is also affiliated to the Center for Entrepreneurship and Business Creation, Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden where he also took his PhD. His main research interest lies in the early development of new ventures as well as organizational growth. He finds the behavioral aspects of entrepreneurship to be particularly interesting.

His work has been published in a number of journals like Management Science, Strategic Management Journal, Strategic Organization, Journal of Business Venturing, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, and books.”
