ABSTRACT

The International School of Management (ISM) is a specialized, accredited business school based in Paris, France, with programs on five different continents such as Brazil, China, France, South Africa, USA. ISM Paris’ stakeholders have always considered how they can help other business schools to offer international programs and how they can leverage their competitive advantage of global reach and cross-cultural exposure through an international team of highly qualified lecturers and business schools. The “Pitch in Paris” is annual entrepreneurial networking event held every December where ISM Paris hosts a business pitch competition. The Pitch in Paris focuses on transformative and innovative business models and is an opportunity for hopeful entrepreneurs to get recognized for an innovative business idea, gain valuable feedback, and to network with contacts that could potentially bring their idea to life. ISM Paris’ faculty believes this event fulfills one small step in our business with a purpose learning model.
