The Toulouse Business School has designed a dedicated MBA program for the aerospace industry. According to Dr. Jacques Tournut, the school’s director of MBA and postgraduate programs, deep-seated changes in the industry have to be implemented by competent executives who have often left engineering to fill managerial roles for which they are not trained. “This where the MBA comes in–to train managers in surroundings that are familiar to them,” he told AIN.

The MBA course, which is strongly supported by French aerospace industry group GIFAS, is closely linked to the school’s Center for Research and Management in Aeronautics and Space. The aerospace MBA started in 2000 with 20 students from 13 countries. It now boasts more than 200 alumni from 45 countries.
