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. Our MBA program was specifically created to develop this kind of leader. Its unique curriculum combines a general management perspective, an international focus and a deep understanding of the global business arena, all structured within an ethical framework. For more than 50 years, IESE Business School has been committed to developing exceptional executives and entrepreneurs who also have the desire to make a positive and lasting impact on the world. With students from more than 50 countries and faculty members reflecting around 30 nationalities, the IESE MBA stands out for its global focus and character. The program’s case method offers a powerful approach for gaining critical analytical and decision-making skills. Our graduates, however, say that the IESE community itself is one of the most enriching aspects of the program. For 19 months, students interact daily with dedicated faculty members and talented peers in an atmosphere of trust, collaboration and shared values. The rewards of this experience last a lifetime. If you are seeking an MBA program that will transform you both professionally and personally, I invite you to learn more about IESE and its Full-Time MBA program. Warm regards,
Jordi Canals Dean of IESE Business School

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.”
