L'Oreal funds one MBA scholarship per class at INSEAD with the explicit purpose of fostering: (1) CREATIVITY "You must have imagination, you must dream. You must have a feeling for words and images. You must be able to see that things communicate not just because it is written down but because an image itself can communicate something, a symbol."
