IESE Business School is the graduate business school of the University of Navarra. It was established in Barcelona in 1958 by Opus Dei, a Roman Catholic organisation.[1] From 1963, in collaboration with Harvard Business School,[2] it offers a two-year Master of Business Administration degree,[3] an executive MBA, and executive education courses.[4] It has other campuses in Madrid, Munich, New York City and São Paulo.

History

The Instituto de Estudios Superiores de la Empresa (IESE) was created by Opus Dei in 1958. The first name of IESE was Centro de Estudios de la Empresa, then Escuela de Directores del Instituto de Estudios Superiores de la Empresa (IESE) and finally IESE Business School.[5]

Antonio Valero Vicente, commissioned by Jose María Escriva de Balaguer, was its main promoter and first dean. Valero visited the École des Administrations des Affaires de Lille, run by an MBA from Harvard Business School (HBS), to get advice on the pedagogical model, the case method.[6]

IESE launched its first training project for entrepreneurs during the 1958-59 academic year.[7] The first program, called Programa de Alta Dirección de Empresas (PADE), was aimed at business leaders with a decade of experience in senior management. The first classes were held at the Hotel del Parque in Sant Andreu de Llavaneres. The following academic programmes were Programa de Dirección de Empresas (PDE) 1959–1960, and Programa de Desarrollo para Alta Dirección de Empresas (PDADE, later known as PDG) in 1961. In 1963, after consulting professors Ralph M. Hower and Steve Fuller, the Harvard-IESE Committee was set up,[8] and IESE launched the Master in Business Administration and Economics (MED) in 1964.[9] It was the first time the term "master's" was used in Europe; it later took on the standardized name of MBA.[10]

After almost two decades of collaboration with Harvard, the bilingual Spanish-English MBA was introduced in 1980, and collaboration was extended to other North American universities such as the University of Michigan Business School and the MIT Sloan School of Management (1994). In 2001, the Global Executive MBA was established. At the same time, IESE developed in-company programmes for transnational companies in Spain and leading Spanish companies.[10] In 2007, after expansion and renovation, the new Barcelona campus was inaugurated.[11] In 2009, the Global CEO Program for Latin America was launched in partnership with CEIBS and Wharton.[12]

In the following years, the campuses in New York City (2010),[13] Munich (2015),[14] and São Paulo (in collaboration with ISE Business School), were consolidated and opened.[15] In 2021, the expansion and opening of the new Madrid campus was completed.[16]

Campuses

Barcelona

IESE's main campus is located in the Pedralbes neighbourhood of Barcelona, at the foot of the Collserola mountain range. The 52,000 m2 campus features more than a dozen buildings. The newest was inaugurated in 2018 and houses the research division and doctoral programmes. The Barcelona campus is home to MBA programs and a wide range of Executive Education programs.[17]

Madrid

Since its founding in 1974, the Madrid campus has focused on Executive Education programmes - PDD, PDG, and PADE. It also offers the Executive MBA and a special programme for public sector managers. In 2019 it introduced the Master in Management (MiM) programme[18] The campus is located in Aravaca, on Cerro del Águila in front of Casa de Campo, a northeastern suburb of the Spanish capital. The Master building was built in 1991 and extended in 2004. A new campus was opened in 2021: to the original 19,000 m2, a further 16,300 m2 with green spaces and an auditorium were added.[19]

New York City

The institution opened a campus at 165 West 57th Street in Manhattan in 2007. Housed in a neo-Renaissance building that was built in 1916, the campus delivers customised programmes for companies and general management programmes for executives.[20]

Munich

The centrally located Munich campus, founded in 2015, has focused on Executive Education programs for companies and professionals working in Germany and Central Europe. It also offers an Executive MBA program and courses included in the MBA and Global Executive MBA programs.[21]

São Paulo

The activities have been held since 2000 at the ISE Business School in the Bela Vista district of São Paulo, home to several educational and financial institutions. In addition to the general management programmes for executives, it offers an Executive MBA.[22]

International alliances and partnerships

Since the late 1950s, the institution has sent faculty members to doctoral programmes in the United States and Europe.[10] It has established long-term academic partnerships with Stanford, MIT and CEIBS.[23]

IESE also contributed to the founding of 15 business schools, mainly in developing countries:[24] IPADE (Mexico, 1967); IAE (Argentina, 1978); PAD (Peru, 1979); AESE (Portugal, 1980); INALDE (Colombia, 1985); IEEM (Uruguay, 1986); LBS (Nigeria, 1991); IDE (Ecuador, 1992); CEIBS (China, 1994); UA&P School of Business Administration (Philippines, 1995); ISE (Brazil, 1996); ESE (Chile, 1999);[25] MDE Business School (Ivory Coast, 2003); and SBS (Kenya, 2005).[26] The partner schools are independent and developed with local faculty and staff.

Organisation

The institution is governed by the Board of Directors and the International Advisory Board. The Board of Directors is responsible for the strategic development, faculty recruitment, programme portfolio and operations of the school. It is chaired by the dean, who in turn reports to the rector of the University of Navarra.[27]

The International Advisory Board (IAB) and the Executive Committee of the IESE Alumni Association provide strategic guidance to the school's management on its initiatives, governance, education programmes, institutional development and corporate sponsorship.[28]

Since 1963, the IESE-Harvard Business School Committee has met annually in the United States or Europe, mainly to advise on the development of international programmes.[29]

The International Advisory Board (IAB) analyses the global socio-economic context from the perspective of business, emerging trends, entrepreneurial and executive education needs and innovation in the field of management and leadership. IAB members are managers and academics from Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia. Appointed by IESE's dean, they meet regularly to assess humanistic and management issues, as well as the emergence of new challenges and opportunities.
