Today very few businesses remain untouched by the momentous trends toward globalisation. Increasingly global markets are creating the need for a truly international management style.

This Joint DBA programme is made up of a unique partnership between Paris School of Business (PSB) and Galilee International Management Institute, representing different geographical and cultural backgrounds. The programme is designed to enable working professionals to remain in their managerial positions while undertaking periods of study and will provide the necessary tools to contribute to the production and dissemination of the applied science in areas of management and business administration.
