HEC in the press

As German Chancelor Olaf Scholz's party received disappointing results during the European elections, the current coalition seems at stake. Armin Steinbach, law professor at HEC Paris Business School comments in the New York Times: "If they do not manage to come up to a solution to this, I would not rule out that the stability of their coalition would break up."

After French President Emmanuel Macron announced his decision to dissolve Parliament, law professor at HEC Paris Business School did not hide his surprise to the BBC: "It’s disproportionate that these election results might push a government out of a country."

According to Armin Steinbach, professor at HEC Paris Business School, the dissolution of French Parliament after the European elections' results will make Emmanuel Macron a "lame duck" and will intensify the economic instability: "France's fiscal policy position is weak, the reform momentum is gone. I assume that the markets will become increasingly nervous."

Interviewed by The Gardian on the European elections, law professor at HEC Paris Business School Alberto Alemanno does not think that the main issue is the rise of far-right in Europe, but rather "the extent to which the centre right is prepared to normalise some of them."

In article from the New York Times which tackles the divisions within the far-right in Europe, law professor at HEC Paris Business School comments with irony: "Isn’t it paradoxical for a nationalistic party to team up with parties across their borders? They are inherently incompatible."

An article published by MBA Crystal Ball dedicated to business courses mentions HEC Paris Executive Education’s. Its short business courses are designed for professionals and executives at various career stages who are seeking focused training on specific business topics.

Interviewed by Euronews, HEC Paris Business School's dean Eloic Peyrache discusses how education can keep up with the changing world and the benefits of studying in a business school.

Should you apply for an MBA in the US or in Europe? As Find MBA compares the two, Executive director of marketing and admissions for MBA programs at HEC Paris Sara Vanos argues: "The length of an MBA at HEC Paris (16 months) is a clear advantage over many US programs, which normally last two-years, and are far more expensive than many European programs."

As Find MBA is reflecting on MBAs' return on investment, Sara Vanos, executive director of marketing and admissions for MBA programs at HEC Paris Business School, thinks that an MBA's impact should be evaluated on the long term through accelerated career progression, leadership opportunities, and higher earning potential: "Prospective MBA students should go beyond the cash ROI, and look more at the emotional ROI, the skills, ability to lead in tough contexts and more."
