Internationalization

Internationalization has formed part of IESE’s strategy from its earliest days. Beginning in the late 1950s, IESE has sent members of its faculty to doctoratal programs in the U.S. and Europe, equipping its professors with an international mindset.[16] IESE has worked with Harvard Business School for nearly six decades, and in 1964, with the launch of the MBA program, it welcomed the first international students to its Barcelona campus.

IESE has helped to develop a network of 15 associated schools internationally, many of them in the developing world. It has formed long-term academic alliances with schools such as Stanford, MIT and CEIBS,[17] and opened campuses in São Paulo, Munich and New York. Its programs feature work and study opportunities around the globe, and its faculty, staff and students are of more than 100 nationalities.

Campuses [18]

Barcelona

IESE’s main campus is located in the Pedralbes neighborhood of Barcelona, at the foot of the Collserola mountain range. The 52,000 m2 campus features more than a dozen buildings, the newest of which was inaugurated in 2018 to house its research division and doctoral programs. The MBA programs and a wide range of Executive Education programs are offered on the Barcelona campus.

Madrid

Since its founding in 1974, IESE’s Madrid campus has focused on Executive Education programs. The Executive MBA is also offered on the Madrid campus, along with a special program for public sector management. The campus, spread over 19,000m2, is located in a northeastern suburb of the Spanish capital.

New York

IESE opened a campus in Manhattan in 2007. Housed in a neo-Renaissance building constructed in 1916 as a dance school, IESE’s New York campus delivers customized programs for companies and general management programs for executives, with a particular focus on the media and entertainment sectors.

Munich

IESE’s Munich campus, established in 2005, 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.

São Paulo

Since 2000, IESE has delivered its Brazil-based activities and programs at ISE Business School, in the Bela Vista neighborhood of São Paulo, home to a number of educational and financial institutions. In addition to general management programs for executives, IESE’s São Paulo campus offers an Executive MBA degree.

Associated Business Schools

IESE's global reach goes well beyond the school's five campuses. IESE has helped establish 15 high-quality business schools, mainly in the developing world,[19] beginning in 1967 with Mexico’s IPADE. These associated schools are fully autonomous, developed alongside strong and dedicated educators in each of the countries. In addition to IPADE, IESE has played a key role in creating: IAE in Argentina, 1978; PAD in Peru, 1979; AESE in Portugal, 1980; INALDE in Colombia, 1985; IEEM in Uruguay, 1986; LBS in Nigeria, 1991; IDE in Ecuador, 1992; CEIBS in China, 1994; UA&P School of Business Administration in the Philippines, 1995; ISE in Brazil, 1996; ESE in Chile, 1999; MDE Business School in the Ivory Coast, 2003; and SBS in Kenya, 2005.[20]

Governance

IESE's Executive Committee is responsible for the school’s long-term strategic development, faculty hiring, investments and program portfolio, as well as the School's operations. The dean of the School presides over the Executive Committee and reports to the president of the University of Navarra.[23]

The School's International Advisory Board (IAB) and the Executive Committee of the IESE Alumni Association provide strategic orientation on IESE's initiatives and governance, as well as offering their advice on educational programs, expansion, investment and corporate involvement.
The US Advisory Council provides the School with support for the long-term development of activities in the United States, particularly the New York campus, and how these activities can be of benefit to IESE in other parts of the world.

IESE and Harvard Business School have had a close relationship for almost 50 years. In 1963, Harvard Business School approved the formation of the Harvard-IESE Committee, a committee established to offer IESE ongoing guidance as it continued to develop its programs and evolve as a business school. The Harvard-IESE Committee helped guide the launch of IESE's full-time MBA program in 1964, the first of its kind in Europe. The committee has met annually ever since in either the U.S. or Europe. The Harvard-IESE Committee has also played a key role in developing IESE-Harvard joint international executive education programs, first launched in 1994.[23]

The Argentina-Uruguay chapter became the first foreign chapter in 1986; the U.S. alumni chapter was set up in 1987.[24]
