an approach to teaching and learning: it is
the cornerstone of our MBA program. Over

These cases are business problems. Your

the classroom by your classmates and by your
professor. When faced with a real problem, how
will you react and what choices will you make?
What will you do?

IESE understands and caters

to the current environment
that requires organizations to
welcome men and women willing
to develop a more complex
understanding of the human
dynamics of motivation, needs

The things I learned at IESE

were to prioritize issues: people
and family are always at the top
of my list. Also, work and life are
no contradictory but mutually
encouraging. There are always
ways if we care enough to find
them.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT AVAILABLE FOR WOMEN

At IESE we are committed to
increasing the number of women
