Duncan [...] even implied that the level of learning doesn't really benefit from free courses on Coursera.
It's hard to understand what point you are making.
If someone reviews most of your posts, it can also be seen that most of your recommendations contain references to universities in the UK. I hope that my post is like a bucket of cold water on your criticism.
You seem to be mistaken. Look at
https://find-mba.com/board for example. You can see that there are a lot of posts about the UK, but also many that are not about the UK. On the non-UK posts, I went through a dozen and in none of them is Duncan recommended UK schools. In one, he recommends ESCP.
Furthermore, you refer to an MBA, but EMIB is not an MBA, but an Executive Master.
You seem to have missed Duncan's point: he argues that the EMIB is a lighter alternative to an MBA. You don't seem to disagree.
Finally, an Executive Master is not just a certificate, but an official document of completing a Master's degree. Yes, it's true that in some countries the Exec MSc titles are not introduced yet, but in many, they are, like Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands. In these countries, the ESCP EMIB diploma is recognized as a Master's level higher education, and you don't have to do any nostrification, etc… so to all those commenting - please take this into consideration, as not everything new is bad.
No-one has commented on nostrification. Because France is in the EHEA, its qualification can indeed be recognised in other EU countries. The ESCP-Torino Executive masters will be recognised as a level 7 qualification with 30 ECTS. No-one familiar with ECTS will take 30 ECTS seriously as a masters degree. However, Duncan is making a different point, that many executive masters lead to private, vocational qualifications rather than state-recognised academic degrees. In the Netherlands, Germany and UK, for example, executive masters are state-recognised academic degrees. In other countries, like Finland, Italy and Spain, they are certainly not academic degrees. I understand that you want to justify your investment in ESCP. Were you awarded a state degree at the end of your masters? They look like this:
