Why do some business models, brands, and institutions remain influential for decades while others do not? This autumn, we invite MBA graduates of kmbs to England to better understand the environment in which they have developed.

Over the course of five days, we will visit London, Cambridge, and Kent — cities that combine strong institutions, entrepreneurship, academic tradition, and cultural context.
