WELCOME Now, more than ever, the global business world is calling for well-prepared business leaders those who possess wisdom and knowledge, solid business skills, a global mindset and a desire to make a positive impact on society.

The school established the Full-Time MBA program, the first of its kind in Europe, in 1964 under the guidance of the IESE-Harvard Advisory Committee. IESE s MBA stands out for its international character and focus on general management. Entrepreneurship and corporate governance are present throughout the curriculum to provide students with the best skills to perform in their own ventures or the corporate world. IESE offers an international view of the business world through its content, faculty and students. With a clear focus on general management, the program examines more than 600 cases based on international business scenarios. The international exchange program, the international elective modules and the bilingual MBA complete the worldwide opportunity MBA students have at IESE. IESE is an initiative of Opus Dei, a personal prelature of the Roman Catholic Church. The school s values stem from the Christian tradition, which advocates the intrinsic rights and dignity of all people. Emphasis is therefore placed on the ethical dimensions of decision making making, which are indispensable for personal growth and corporate sustainability. 4 MBA Programs

A transformational impact IESE s MBA program is based on four key approaches that ideally prepare graduates to excel in the global business environment. General Management PERSPECTIVE IESE s MBA builds a solid foundation for all students by covering core business subjects during the first year and offering a wide range of electives in the second year. The use of business case studies is a critical component of IESE s dynamic learning approach under the guidance of the well-trained faculty. Students analyze more than 600 cases during the program, immerse themselves in real-life business challenges and carry out in-depth analysis. Leadership and Ethics Ethics and the impact of business decisions on people inside and outside the company are interwoven into every IESE course. This is in keeping with IESE s overarching goal to help develop global business leaders who can make a positive impact on companies and society through their professionalism, integrity and spirit of service. Moreover, a firm grasp of business ethics is becoming increasingly important for leading companies successfully and sustainably.

A TRULY INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE Students interact with people from more than 56 different countries during the case discussions in the classroom and also hear the contributions of the international faculty. The International Exchange Program and the international modules in the second year give students the opportunity to experience life at another top-tier school. The Exchange Program is based on their academic performance in the first and second semesters. They can also take part in international elective courses, which are held in New York, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Shanghai and Nairobi. More than 40% of MBA students graduate with IESE s Bilingual MBA for international students. ENTREPRENEURSHIP in a FAST-CHANGING environment Participants can choose from IESE s entrepreneurship courses. FINAVES, among others, provides the forum and financial resources to help students turn a new business venture into reality. In the first year, students are introduced to entrepreneurship through a core introductory course. In the second year, they can choose from various elective courses on entrepreneurship and also have the chance to present a business plan to investors. Due to the school s strong focus on entrepreneurship, about a third of MBA students create their own businesses within 10 years of graduation. IT IS a truly inspiring and transformational experience. Above all, I valued the entrepreneurial spirit, which helped ME START MY own business together with two classmates directly AFTER the MBA. Thomas Roggendorf MBA 12 The FULL-TIME MBA 7
