A New Kind of International Business School The Toulouse region has a reputation of being free, rebellious and creative. Throughout the history of this region, its people have developed new forms of govern-ment (the Capitouls the twelfth century, for example), have brought closer what was distant (the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, in the seventeenth century, by means of Pierre Paul Riquet’s Canal du Midi, now classified as a World Heritage Site), have made it possible for dreams to become reality (the birth of aeronautics with Clement Ader at the end of the nineteenth century) and have launched the most beautiful industrial adventure of the late twentieth century, Airbus.But the strongest symbol of the Toulouse spirit is perhaps the opening of the Aéropos-tale lines in the early twentieth century. Because this was both a human, technological and economic challenge, and today the names of Latécoère, Saint-Exupery, Mermoz and Guillaumet have been permanently enshrined in the collective memory. They da-red to open new channels and they were convinced of the value of men. Imbued with this heritage and these values, the Toulouse Business School has today invented a new model for an international Business School, as the world’s certain-ties tremble and the search for new points of reference has begun. By opening new campuses in Barcelona and Casablanca, we are looking for new inspiration and new models in the heart of two major cities, which are both just as rebellious and creative as Toulouse.Our new model? Bringing our operations into the heart of areas with high growth po-tential and into cities known for their lifestyles, their economic efficiency, their long-term commitments to the respect of local conditions, the support of local economic partners, and possessing active teaching techniques that aim at economic develop-ment, social responsibility and sustainable development. More importantly, the goal of offering our students the opportunity of discovering a unique human experience that is both fulfilling and empowering. This model has now been acknowledged: the Toulouse Business School is part of the prestigious circle of business schools that have attained triple accreditation by EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA (less than 1% of Business Schools in the world have attained this level) and its progress is welcomed by the international press (ranked by the Financial Times as being one of the Top 20 European Master’s in Management in 2008). The one hundred or so partner universities throughout the world, the fifty different nationalities present on our campus, our sixty or so visiting professors of international reputation and our Aerospace MBA are also significant indicators of the true internationalization of our School.Our international stature can also be seen through our cooperative projects with the most renowned French institutions. We are thus part of the «University of Toulouse» Higher Education Research Department, where we have notably formed a partnership with the Doctoral School of Management Science as well as being a founding member of ToulouseTech which brings together the 16 «Grandes Écoles» to be found in the Midi – Pyrenees region.

Come and learn more about our new model and you will discover some new ambitions for yourself

Three international accreditations, three campuses

in three different countries, more than 100 partner

universities and a faculty made up of one third

foreign professors, Toulouse Business School is

unquestionably an international, multicultural school.

An International Business SchoolToulouse, Barcelona and Casablanca: three cities for your studiesThe three campuses of the Toulouse Busi-ness School are located in the heart of three cities that are known for their economic dy-namism and the richness of their cultures. Students thus find themselves placed in the heart of what the European and Mediterra-nean communities have best to offer in the fields of technological innovation, economic dynamism and quality of life.

These sites offer students of the Group a ge-nuine opportunity to strengthen their langua-ge skills (Spanish, English and French) and become immersed in a multicultural environ-ment, as many nationalities are represented on each of these sites. Indeed, the Spanish and Moroccan Campuses are able to benefit from their great attractiveness over their zo-nes of economic influence: Latin America for Spain, North-West Africa for Morocco.

These locations, of course, also promote the mobility of our future students as we have developed close relationships with local businesses, professional organiza-tions, employers’ associations and public authorities on each site. This strategy is has been approved by the triple accreditation that we have received and has also been hailed by the international press: The Financial Times has, for example, ranked Toulouse Business School 17th ove-rall in their 2008 standings for the Best Eu-ropean Master’s in Management programs. Toulouse Business School is today part of the select group of the Top 20 European Schools and jumped the highest in the ranking by gai-ning 7 places compared to 2007.

Toulouse is the fourth largest city in Fran-ce and its metropolitan area is home to 1 million inhabitants. 1st French pole for teaching and research after Paris, it brings together 120,000 students and 11,000 re-searchers. It is also a international-level industrial center, thanks to its leading po-sition in aerospace field (Aerospace Valley competitiveness cluster, Airbus, CNES, EADS-Astrium), biotechnology (Cancer-Bio-Health competitiveness cluster, the Cancéropôle, Laboratoires Pierre Fabre) and food processing (Agrimip–Innovation competitiveness cluster).

A city that is full of lifeToulouse is also known for its unique way of life, at the meeting point between the French and Spanish cultures. It is regu-

larly ranked as one of the most popular French cities. It is blessed with a remar-kable architectural heritage made of red bricks and tiles that have earned it the nickname «Ville Rose» (the Ruby City). A City of art and culture, Toulouse has many varied cultural facilities (museums, opera, theaters, concert halls). But Toulouse is also an athletic city. Local Rugby Union, Football, Handball, Volleyball, Rugby League or Swimming clubs participate in elite competitions at the national and European levels. The many sports faci-lities and natural areas that are open to all (including the famous Canal du Midi), the beaches of the Mediterranean or the ski slopes of the Pyrenees (less than two hours away by car) allow the people of Toulouse to participate in active recreatio-nal activities throughout the year.

Barcelona Olympic host city, Barcelona has been growing steadily since the 1992 Olympics and has become during that period a genuine cultural and economic capital for the Mediterranean basin. It today is home to nearly 5 million people (urban area) and represents 20% of Spain’s economic potential. It was there that were born industrial legends such as Puig, Freixenet, Torres, Chupa Chups or Danone and it is there that Renault, Mercedes and Volkswagen have set up their global design and R & D centers. Because the city of Gaudi, Miro and Tapies has many other strengths in the areas of culture, gastronomy and festivals: for the 9th consecutive year, European executives have elected it as the European city with the best quality of life (2006 survey by «Cushman & Wakefield - Healey & Baker, European Cities Monitor). Thanks to its unique location, students can go to the beach by subway and then be in a ski resort in less than two hours by car. As for life in Barcelona, many films regularly praise its merits...Thanks to its new premises that opened in 2008, the Toulouse Business School Campus can today host, in the heart of Barcelona, 500 students from the Bachelor’s and Master’s in Management (TBS) programs.

casaBlancaThe economic capital of Morocco, Casablanca embodies the modernity and dynamism of this emerging country. Home to nearly 60% of Moroccan businesses, including many multinationals, it possesses infrastructures adapted to international business, with an airport that handles 51% of all domestic traffic, a port through which 55% of foreign trade passes (2nd African port) and a Stock Exchange which makes Casablanca the 3rd ranking financial center on the continent and the 3rd in the Arab world. Part of the charm of the city is to be found in its lifestyle of its multicultural traditions (the wealth of the Arabic, Spanish and French cultures) and its religious diversity (peaceful coexistence of the Muslim, Jewish and Christian religions).The Toulouse Business School Campus hosts 200 students in the Bachelor’s, Specialized Master’s, MSc programs and an Executive MBA program designed toaccompany the development of Moroccanbusinesses. The Master’s program in Management (TBS) will soon be opened.

The Campus is part of a cluster dedicated to education which is managed by the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Morocco and which includes a French High School, a vocational training center and a Bachelor’s program.

Toulouse Business School has for many years made

steady progress in its programs and teaching,

especially through the development of research.

f Toulouse Business SchoolThe «Management Research Center» is organized into eight research groups:• Five thematic groups: Finance, HR

Employment, New management practices, Entrepreneurial Strategy, Marketing-Internet;

• Three sector groups associated with the three regional competitiveness clusters: Aerospace Management, Healthcare Organizations and Systems, Agriculture & Food.

75% of Toulouse Business School faculty have PhD’s and 85% are active in re-search.

Innovative cooperation with Competitiveness ClustersIn 2008, the Toulouse Business School decided to reorganize its Research efforts through the creation of groups based on economic sectors, directly connected to the 3 competitiveness clusters, Aerospa-ce Valley, Cancer-Bio-Health and Agrimip Innovation. The aim is both to participate in the impetus created by these clus-ters and to generate synergies between research, education and the business world. Teaching programs have been de-veloped in partnership with the Clusters, based on know-how that is specifi c to the school.

Doctoral School of Management ScienceThe Toulouse Business School has be-come associated with the Doctoral School of Management Sciences that is part of the University of Social Sciences, Toulou-se 1. The University and the Toulouse Bu-siness School share the governance, the research training through the organiza-tion of seminars and courses and the tu-toring of doctoral students. The grouping together of researchers in turn promotes joint projects and responses to calls for tenders, particularly in Europe. These ac-tivities represent, through their scientifi c cooperation, a center of excellence in this fi eld.

The Toulouse Business School Group FoundationThe Toulouse Business School Group Foun-dation was founded in 2008 under the aegis of the Fondation de France. Its role is to as-sist the school in its development, to sup-port new educational programs, to interve-ne in the funding of research programs and to promote the cultural and social diversity of its students. It aims to rally support for these projects from the alumni network and the School’s corporate partners.The projects revolve around four major operational areas:• Faculty strengthening and internationa-

lization, • Improvement of the cultural and social

diversity of the School’s students,

• Involvement in the development and internationalization of the regional eco-nomy,

• Commitment around the theme «Entrepreneur & Citizen.»

Since its inception, the Toulouse Business School Group Foundation has funded merit scholarships (150,000 Euros distri-buted in 2008-2009), the Consulting Pro-fessions Chair, the Responsible Develo-pment Chair, the Entrepreneurship Chair and the «Audit» Chair.The Toulouse Business School has also set up a Chair in «Aerospace Manage-ment» in collaboration with professionals and an «e-management» Chair with IBM.
