Programme Overview
The Tsinghua – INSEAD Executive MBA (TIEMBA) programme is a unique partnership between INSEAD, one of the world's leading business schools, and Tsinghua, one of China’s most prestigious universities. The executive master degree programme takes place across INSEAD’s three campuses in Singapore, Abu Dhabi (UAE), and Fontainebleau (France), and Tsinghua’s university campus in Beijing (China).
The 22-month programme, consisting of 12 core courses, 4 elective courses, Key Management Challenges courses, and a thesis, is designed for senior executives who want to learn the practical knowledge and soft skills required to excel in both East and West. You will exchange perspectives within an elite, dynamic, culturally diverse class of experienced managers and be part of two powerful alumni networks. The TIEMBA is where life-changing leadership development meets technical mastery of key business disciplines. And both make an immediate impact in your organisation. It is the best of East and West, learning and working, technical knowledge and soft skills — in a single programme.

MASTERCLASS
Modern AI - How Can Small Countries Compete with Big Tech?
Professor Philip M. Parker, Ph.D. (Wharton) is the INSEAD Chair Professor of Management Science. For the last 25 years, he has specialized in generative AI, and implemented working platforms in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Some of his projects have been funded by multi-nationals and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He will be presenting an ambitious project from INSEAD's TotoGEO AI lab that can accelerate, if not surpass, many advances in artificial intelligence that can be applied to the context of national markets. Many efforts fail to gain traction due to a lack of localization and expertise. These can be overcome given the advances illustrated by large language models (GPT) and rule-based AI. Proposals for local adoption within smaller countries will be proposed and discussed.
