Why Alpha? Over to the students themselves:
“It’s a synonym for a new start, a new adventure”,
“It’s the 1st letter of the alphabet, because we are starting a new professional venture”,
“Alpha brings together everything that we want to be: a diversity of cultures, generations, backgrounds”.

Partnership Focus XIM, India
26 November 2021
In the framework of our international learning exchanges, some students from the Institut Magellan partnered with students from XIM University in India to help them prepare a case study.
Our students took on the role of mentors and shared their useful insights on HR practices in the context of an international company setting up an establishment in France. The four working groups presented their case studies to Dr. Sadhna Dash from the XIM University and José-Maria Aulotte, course director at the Institut Magellan.
Here is what they had to say about the experience:
GOOD BYE AND THANK YOU, RAY!
24 November 2021
There is great sadness among the teams at the Cercle Magellan and Institut Magellan at the loss, on 23 November 2021, of one of their own.
As the esteemed and admired president of the International Comp & Ben Club from the early 2000s and a dedicated and well-loved teacher to students on the MBA in International Compensation & Benefits, Ray Naylor never failed to give his all and share his passion for Human Resources with others.
Today, the Comp & Ben community has lost both a mentor and a friend. We offer our sincere condolences to Ray’s family and loved ones.
Rest in peace, dear Ray.

Joint case-based session with teaching partner KMBS
28 May 2021
Did you know that more than 80% of cross-border mergers fail to add value (KPMG) and top-managers lacking cross-cultural training are twice as likely to fail in international assignments? Understanding and managing the mutual impact of national and corporate culture during M&A process becomes paramount to ensuring the smooth integration of two (often rather different) businesses. On May 19th, in a joint case-based session, MBA students from the leading French companies worked on a case designed to prepare them for resolving cross-cultural dilemmas and prioritizing people and process matters during M&A. Within the framework of the 3-year-long partnership between Institut Magellan and Kyiv-Mohyla Business School, the session was conducted by Jose-Maria Aulotte (Program Director MBA International Human Resources, Institut Magellan), Bertrand Coutier (former Vice-President HR International Mobility and Governance, Airbus Helicopters), and Maryna Starodubska (KMBS Adjunct Professor, TLFRD Managing Partner).
This year, the discussion was focused on understanding how national cultures manifest in corporate context using a real-life case of a Ukrainian company acquired by a French corporation and deciding which integration strategy to use: co-existence without control, assimilation, mixing or partnership. Among the key outtakes of the session were the 5 prerequisites of credibility in a cross-border M&A: (1) alignment of strategy and shareholder expectations; (2) agility on all integration levels; (3) HR-strategy appropriated by employees; (4) cascading of goals and priorities; (5) measurement of progress.
The Institut Magellan is an International HRM-focused business school, started by the Cercle Magellan – a professional network of over 250 multinational corporations bringing together ~1500 HR-professionals in France and dozens of other countries.

Exchanging and looking to the future with our Indian teaching partner

As part of our partnership with Xavier Institute in Bhubaneswar, India, José-Maria Aulotte, director of the MBA in Human Resources Management in International Companies, was invited by the students on this prestigious institute’s international relations committee to exchange with practitioners and academics from various regions and functions.
The debate was lively despite taking place remotely, and centered on the new challenges that await managers after the current crisis. It was an opportunity to discuss inter-cultural issues, what companies and employees expect from managers, the impact of new technologies and the role of the HR function in support of these transformations.

Our students return from new york
15 May 2019
Next stop America… First Singapore, then Rio de Janeiro, and now New York. Two of our MBA classes headed across the Atlantic to find out more about Human Resources Management in the USA.
The USA has a more formal legal framework than we might imagine: there are often differences between states, it is home to innovative Comp & Ben practices, and is working to respond to the expectations of the younger generations. All this and more was on the menu during four days packed with presentations, round tables and a visit to the Willis Towers Watson HQ.
Our students return from Rio
04 April 2019
To gain a better understanding of the problematics of international mobility and of HR issues more generally in this high potential, yet highly challenging country, was the objective of the 15 students on our specialized MBAs in International Mobility and International HR during their recent visit to Rio de Janeiro.
To achieve their goal, they attended a series of talks and meetings with HR professionals, operational managers and consultants as well as making a fascinating visit to Michelin’s industrial site at Campo Grande! Free time was put to good use to discover as fully as possible the Cidade Maravilhosa…all within reason, of course!
2018 student-company reception
10 October 2018
On 9 October, students of our Specialized MBAs in international mobility, compensation & benefits and international HR took part in an event with company representatives in order to make their acquaintance and to discuss potential internships and the types of assignment on offer. Our students will carry out an in-company internship of six months as of January 2018, allowing them to put the knowledge they have acquired during their training into practice.
The meeting concluded with a cocktail reception to allow all involved to get to know each other better.
Welcome to the class of 2018-2019!

OUR STUDENTS ARE BACK FROM NEW YORK
15 May 2018
After their seminars in Rio and Singapore, our students headed off to New York in May for a week-long seminar combining presentations from experts in the field, meetings with former students living in New York and round tables on HR management and practices in the US.
New partnership with Rome Business School
18 April 2018
All roads lead to Rome… this old expression has become particularly significant for Magellan in the last few weeks because our first contact with the Rome Business School (RBS) was made via Prague. Keen to ensure that their MBA students learn about HR issues on their learning expedition to Paris, staff from this prestigious Italian business school contacted a specialist center in Czech Republic to find speakers! A combination of old acquaintances and of the Magellan Institute’s reputation led to the visit of a group of students of some 10 nationalities to our premises on a snowy day at the start of February.
It was clear from the end of the meeting that a partnership would make sense, and a few weeks later an agreement was signed, bringing RBS into the Magellan partner network along with business schools in Ukraine, India, Senegal and Morocco. This agreement applies especially to RBS’s International HR Management master’s, and allows students of both establishments to benefit from staff exchanges, shared projects, etc., just like those that already take place in our network.
Benvenuto!

Testimonial from an Indian student just back from Singapore
09 February 2018
Last January Anudrutta Fouzdar, Chetan Dubey and I, students of MBA – HRM of Xavier University Bhubaneshwar got the opportunity to visit Singapore for an HR conference through our International Relations Committee. It was a conference being conducted for the students of Magellan Institute pursuing MBA in International HR management. (The Magellan Institute, based in Paris, France has entered two years ago into an official partnership with XIMB).
The three of us belong to different professional backgrounds and thus could exchange our diverse experience and relate to HR and its practices in different industries. While Anudrutta has worked for a media advertising firm, Chetan, an engineer by profession, has an experience in Industrial Relations. I, on the other hand, have pursued Bachelors in Management Studies and worked in a Transaction Advisory firm as an Analyst.
The areas of Human Resource Management that we covered over the 4-day long conference were: HR Practices in Asia, Global Learning and Development Management, Compensation trends in APAC, Immigration and relocation in Singapore and management of a Global Employment Company. The discussions were highly engaging and gave us a plethora of practical knowledge about how HRM is practiced in the world around us. The practical knowledge was a lot easier to follow and understand due to a strong theoretical base that we have built up over the past year at Xavier University Bhubaneshwar.
We also came to know about the similarities and differences that exist between Indian and French practices and the way they are perceived in their respective societies.
Each of the speakers came from a diverse background, not only in terms of their nationality but also from diverse industries. This gave us an interesting perspective to the challenges faced by each industry in different countries and how we as future HR managers are supposed to design the solutions.
The visit to Schneider Electric’s plant in Indonesia added a new lens to our vision of how a factory operates. We were given the freedom to ask many questions to the staff in the factory. The staff was also glad to answer our queries.
Congratulations to our graduates from the classes of 2020 and 2021!
9 November 2021
All of the Institut Magellan’s teaching staff offered their heartfelt congratulations to our new graduates at the graduation ceremony which took place on Friday 5 November.

Last January Anudrutta Fouzdar, Chetan Dubey and I, students of MBA – HRM of Xavier University Bhubaneshwar got the opportunity to visit Singapore for an HR conference through our International Relations Committee. It was a conference being conducted for the students of Magellan Institute pursuing MBA in International HR management. (The Magellan Institute, based in Paris, France has entered two years ago into an official partnership with XIMB).
The three of us belong to different professional backgrounds and thus could exchange our diverse experience and relate to HR and its practices in different industries. While Anudrutta has worked for a media advertising firm, Chetan, an engineer by profession, has an experience in Industrial Relations. I, on the other hand, have pursued Bachelors in Management Studies and worked in a Transaction Advisory firm as an Analyst.
The areas of Human Resource Management that we covered over the 4-day long conference were: HR Practices in Asia, Global Learning and Development Management, Compensation trends in APAC, Immigration and relocation in Singapore and management of a Global Employment Company. The discussions were highly engaging and gave us a plethora of practical knowledge about how HRM is practiced in the world around us. The practical knowledge was a lot easier to follow and understand due to a strong theoretical base that we have built up over the past year at Xavier University Bhubaneshwar.
We also came to know about the similarities and differences that exist between Indian and French practices and the way they are perceived in their respective societies.
Each of the speakers came from a diverse background, not only in terms of their nationality but also from diverse industries. This gave us an interesting perspective to the challenges faced by each industry in different countries and how we as future HR managers are supposed to design the solutions.
The visit to Schneider Electric’s plant in Indonesia added a new lens to our vision of how a factory operates. We were given the freedom to ask many questions to the staff in the factory. The staff was also glad to answer our queries.
Exchanging and looking to the future with our Indian teaching partner
22 January 2021
As part of our partnership with Xavier Institute in Bhubaneswar, India, José-Maria Aulotte, director of the MBA in Human Resources Management in International Companies, was invited by the students on this prestigious institute’s international relations committee to exchange with practitioners and academics from various regions and functions.
The debate was lively despite taking place remotely, and centered on the new challenges that await managers after the current crisis. It was an opportunity to discuss inter-cultural issues, what companies and employees expect from managers, the impact of new technologies and the role of the HR function in support of these transformations.
Welcome to the class of 2021!
04 October 2020
Our students started their course on Thursday 1 October.
To get the year off to a good start, they headed out of Paris on a two-day orientation seminar to get to know each other.
On the agenda: introduction of the course directors and info on the schedule for the year, plus a range of outdoor activities.
We would like to wish our new students a warm welcome and much success!

Our students return from new york
15 May 2019
Next stop America… First Singapore, then Rio de Janeiro, and now New York. Two of our MBA classes headed across the Atlantic to find out more about Human Resources Management in the USA.
The USA has a more formal legal framework than we might imagine: there are often differences between states, it is home to innovative Comp & Ben practices, and is working to respond to the expectations of the younger generations. All this and more was on the menu during four days packed with presentations, round tables and a visit to the Willis Towers Watson HQ.
Our students return from Rio
04 April 2019
To gain a better understanding of the problematics of international mobility and of HR issues more generally in this high potential, yet highly challenging country, was the objective of the 15 students on our specialized MBAs in International Mobility and International HR during their recent visit to Rio de Janeiro.
To achieve their goal, they attended a series of talks and meetings with HR professionals, operational managers and consultants as well as making a fascinating visit to Michelin’s industrial site at Campo Grande! Free time was put to good use to discover as fully as possible the Cidade Maravilhosa…all within reason, of course!
2018 student-company reception
10 October 2018
On 9 October, students of our Specialized MBAs in international mobility, compensation & benefits and international HR took part in an event with company representatives in order to make their acquaintance and to discuss potential internships and the types of assignment on offer. Our students will carry out an in-company internship of six months as of January 2018, allowing them to put the knowledge they have acquired during their training into practice.
The meeting concluded with a cocktail reception to allow all involved to get to know each other better.
Welcome to the class of 2018-2019!
07 October 2018
On Monday 1 October, the Magellan Institute welcomed the 2018-2019 Specialized MBA cohort. To get the year off to a good start, our students spent two days in Touraine to get to know each other.

OUR STUDENTS ARE BACK FROM NEW YORK
15 May 2018
After their seminars in Rio and Singapore, our students headed off to New York in May for a week-long seminar combining presentations from experts in the field, meetings with former students living in New York and round tables on HR management and practices in the US.
New partnership with Rome Business School
18 April 2018
All roads lead to Rome… this old expression has become particularly significant for Magellan in the last few weeks because our first contact with the Rome Business School (RBS) was made via Prague. Keen to ensure that their MBA students learn about HR issues on their learning expedition to Paris, staff from this prestigious Italian business school contacted a specialist center in Czech Republic to find speakers! A combination of old acquaintances and of the Magellan Institute’s reputation led to the visit of a group of students of some 10 nationalities to our premises on a snowy day at the start of February.
It was clear from the end of the meeting that a partnership would make sense, and a few weeks later an agreement was signed, bringing RBS into the Magellan partner network along with business schools in Ukraine, India, Senegal and Morocco. This agreement applies especially to RBS’s International HR Management master’s, and allows students of both establishments to benefit from staff exchanges, shared projects, etc., just like those that already take place in our network.
Benvenuto!
