Why do some business models, brands, and institutions remain influential for decades, while others don't? This autumn, we invite kmbs MBA program alumni to England to better understand the environment in which they were formed.

Over five days, we will visit London, Cambridge, and Kent — cities where strong institutions, entrepreneurship, university tradition, and cultural context converge.

In the program:

London — a global center of influence. Participants will visit:
