Two degrees. Two prestigious schools. Two alumni networks.
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 Topic: GenAI: What it Means for Businesses
Synopsis: Newspaper headlines are galore with the imminent threat of fundamentally changing the nature of work, businesses, and industries with GenAI. Business executives’ reactions to this trend range from denial (‘does not apply to my industry/market’) to incongruous (‘sounds too alien to be real’), to helplessness (‘I cannot make sense out of it’) or to euphoria (‘we will change the world with this technology’). In our observation, such reactions may be stemming from confusion created by thinking of this technology using a broad stroke of “smart automation” rather than having a nuanced view of the contextually relevant attributes of GenAI that make it more effective in some settings over others.
This session will expose you to some evidence-based research that will be used to build a framework on how and when GenAI can play an instrumental role in shaping the future of work, business, and industries.
