The International Module at MIRBIS -The Moscow International Higher Business School
The Russian module explores the dynamic Russian economy, its unique culture and market opportunities. The core of this module focuses on the Real Face of Russia with a special focus on opportunity areas in a transitional economy. The experience comes alive through visits to different locations that illustrate Russia’s diversity. Participants gain an appreciation for the challenges the country faces in the economy as a whole.
The economic and political systems are going through serious alterations - the country is getting aware of its way of development. It may become a unique market, which incorporates priority development territories, innovation clusters, opportunities to introduce new products and make new partnerships. Searching for the potential areas of international business development, the Arctic project, opportunities in different industries – all these lines have a potential for development and good perspectives for launching new partnership projects.
During the International module, the participants will learn about the main areas of Russia’s innovative development and will have a chance to explore opportunities of entering a new emerging market and to study the Russian model of innovative development that is currently shaping up.

Companies are facing disruptive changes in their business environment. Digital technology plays a major role in them, but geopolitical surprises, shifts in consumer behavior and many other factors add to it. The programme considers what drives disruption, what kind of business model transformation is needed to anticipate it or at least successfully react to it.
Firms in almost all industries have conducted a number of initiatives to explore new digital technologies and to exploit their benefits. This frequently involves transformations of key business operations and affects products and processes, as well as organizational structures and management concepts. Companies need to establish management practices to govern these complex transformations.
While many companies are experimenting with digital transformation, success stories have shown that the enhanced competitive positioning of successful firms does not depend solely on the technologies they adopt, but, more importantly, builds on the strategies that their leaders deploy. Nonetheless, there is still a wide gap between executives’ intentions and the realization of successful digital transformation initiatives and the consequent need to demonstrate the embedded strategic considerations. To help managers through the formulation and implementation of their firms’ digital transformation strategies, integrating the entire coordination, prioritization, and implementation of digital transformations within a firm.
Innovations in business strategies shift from platform-based business models to data-driven innovations – posing a significant disruption. Our International Week explores how companies in any industry can leverage innovative solutions to transform themselves. The course is designed to understand the requirements of the industries while providing a stimulating analysis and overview of diverse and creative business practice.
The International module combines lectures, workshops, networking and culture components. Lectures and seminars will take place both in MIRBIS Business School and in modern office premises. Company visits, meetings, networking and the culture program are aimed at widening participants’ view of Russia as a country of boundless partnership opportunities, a territory of development of entrepreneurial and social innovations, technological breakthrough and abundant cultural and historical heritage.
As a part of the culture program, the participants will go on excursions to Red Square, the Kremlin and around the historical center of Moscow. They will visit the famous Tretyakov gallery of Russian paintings with an art expert as a guide. The participants will be offered to visit a Space Museum and a choice of optional themed excursion on Saturday. In addition, the students will benefit from some free time to visit those places, which arouse their personal interest.
The image of the city combining the imperial, Soviet and modern periods, dynamically developing and looking for new perspective directions and projects will remain in your heart and will stimulate searching for new opportunities of personal development, as well as for development of business and society.

- learn how traditional strategies can be modified and adapted by technology-oriented businesses.
