Rise and shine en Provence

A top American business school is courting British and European students by setting up a base in 바카라사이트 Provence region of France.

Northwestern University's J. L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management has linked up with 바카라사이트 Universite d'Aix-Marseille's Institut d'Administration des Entreprises to provide a part-time, two-year executive MBA programme from January 1997.

Only 10 per cent of 바카라사이트 students are expected to be French because of 바카라사이트 monopoly on business education exercised by Paris's famous Institut Europeen d'Administration des Affaires (INSEAD). The rest would come from Britain, Holland, Belgium and 바카라사이트 Nordic countries.

Earlier this month, Donald Jacobs, dean of 바카라사이트 American school, stopped over in London on his way to 바카라사이트 Far East to promote 바카라사이트 idea to 바카라사이트 multinational companies rich enough to stump up 바카라사이트 tuition fee of $48,000 (Pounds 30,000).

The course, he said, will boast "바카라사이트 best of both worlds", American and European. Over 바카라사이트 years, Kellogg, appropriating 바카라사이트 Japanese methods of "lean" and "just-in-time" management, has pioneered 바카라사이트 partnership idea. The Aix courses, said Dean Jacobs, have championed "change management".

Between 1988 and 1992 Kellogg was rated 바카라사이트 top business school by Business Week, but slipped to second place in 1994. The new course could see Kellogg reclaim its reputation for eating rival business schools for breakfast.
