The nature of international business is ever changing, business education as well. In what's been a pretty busy time at the ranch, ESC Lille and Ceram announced their merger. Though weeks in the making, this unprecedented venture took many by surprise and it's reassuring to see that in this Big Brother age of news transparency, instant messaging and 24/7, communications streaming, confidentiality manages to survive and be respected. The schools talk about their desire to create a new dynamic business school model, consolidating teaching and research facilities, developing internationally. A closer look reveals the aim to provide tomorrow's global business managers with the appropriate tool box and problem solving skills for the knowledge economy....... In other words, responsible management, a multi-cultural approach and the soft skills / hard skills toolbox of 'savoir faire et savoir être'; issues at the heart of the Imim programme. As with any merger, once the dust settles from the announcement, it makes way for questions, questions and more questions. Now we're going to see the practical application of change management theory. I 've been through a number of mergers in the professional world and what helps ease the transition is clear and regular, interactive stakeholder communication. For those wanting more information click on the school's names. Oneworldoneeducation provides more background information on the merger including a FAQ, talking heads and regular live chats. Last week saw ESC Lille's Jean Pierre Raman and Ceram's Alice Guilhon, this week, Henrik Lutzen and Franck Moreau discuss programme issues. Needless to say Facebook is also humming.
