With over 20 years’ experience in the Middle East, the USA and Asia, Caroline Bresson helps companies find partners, negotiate and organize business events. Her intercultural expertise enables her to optimize exchanges in international environments.
At ISMAC, she teaches with a “reverse” approach, favoring learning by doing and concrete case studies.
The business world is undergoing a major transformation. With the rise of telecommuting and geographically dispersed teams, intercultural management is becoming a strategic asset. A key skill could be managing intercultural conflicts, often rooted in subtle misunderstandings. Intercultural management experts will be increasingly sought after for their ability to build and maintain harmony within diverse teams, whether as part of mergers and acquisitions or diversity and inclusion initiatives.
The internship is the first concrete step into the professional world, where students can put into practice the knowledge they have acquired.
For all MBA programs, students can choose between a sandwich course or a compulsory internship. For students not enrolled in a sandwich course, an internship of 4 months in M1 and 6 months in M2 is required.

This program prepares students for the challenges of an international environment and functions impacted by cultural differences.
In a globalized economy, the opportunities to work in an international team are multiplying: company mergers, creation of subsidiaries, international agreements, development of cross-border projects, export development, internationalization of marketing, etc. Working in a multicultural environment is a particularly enriching experience, a source of creativity and performance. But it also brings with it a heightened risk of dysfunction due to problems of communication, language, misunderstanding, divergent values or difficulties in adapting. Faced with these developments, companies have an imperative need for talent capable of working effectively and mastering intercultural management skills.
