About 25% of the KR student's come from countries other than Israel. They are made up of new immigrants (Olim), Israelis who have spent many years outside the country and have decided to come back, and people who do not live in Israel, yet travel specially to attend classes.  Our experience shows that studying in the Kellogg-Recanati program creates a significant added value for those people who wish to integrate in the Israeli society and business life.   Watch Orit Mendelson Shoham, the Kellogg-Recanati Programs Director, talks about the benefit of combining studying in the Kellogg-Recanati program and spending time in Israel.

 Our graduates share their experiences

  

Together with his wife and two small children, Stuart Ballan moved to Israel, from London, in 1997.  "Six months later, I started to understand how I'd grossly underestimated what a huge decision the big move was", says Stuart.  "I arrived with the confidence and experience gained from a very successful sales career, but soon came down to earth with a bump, as I realized it counted for far less than I'd expected".  Not knowing the language and local culture were the obvious initial challenges to overcome.  However, the bigger mountains to conquer lay elsewhere.  "Israel is a country built on personal networks, generated  from school, university and the army; who you know, not what you know, which by definition, left me disadvantaged", continued Stuart.  Stuart graduated from the Kellogg-Recanati program in 2001.  "From an academic perspective, the KR Program allowed me to join in new business conversations, and at the highest level", commented Stuart.  "As importantly, I soon realized that  the network I was missing was sitting next to me, behind me and in front of me for two years, in the classroom".  Stuart has been the President of the 700-strong Kellogg-Recanati Alumni Club since 2002.   "I found the network I was looking for, when I wasn't looking".    Ballan Stuart, KR04 VP Sales RewardLife Ltd.  President of the Kellogg-Recanati Alumni club To hear more about Stuarts experience you can watch this video

On the personal level, immigrating to Israel was the best thing I could have done in my life. Here, my wife and I have the privilege of raising our three children in the Jewish state. We may have concerns, but retaining our Jewish identity is not one of them. On this level too, by allowing me the possibility of entering its far-reaching social and business network the Kellogg-Recanati program helped me solve one of the most fundamental problems of the new immigrant: integrating into the new environment. I now have friends and contacts that I would never have made outside the program, not to speak of the new business and social vistas that the Kellogg-Recanati and Kellogg alumni clubs have opened up for me. These most certainly would have been closed to me had I not participated in the program. Altogether, I can say that the Kellogg-Recanati International Executive MBA program played a decisive role in my integration into this country that I am proud to call home.” Emmanuel Elalouf, KR05 Chief Operating Officer, VP Business Development Vascular Biogenics Ltd

The vast networking opportunities offered in the program starting in class, emphasized by intense team work give the participants the opportunity to get to know their class members very well, study and work with them. The networking opportunities expand later during the two international weeks held at Kellogg in the second year, as well the optional international weeks offered in Israel and at other schools belonging to the Kellogg global network
