The climate of uncertainty that pervaded much of the world — coupled with the slow pace of recovery — nonetheless revealed new opportunities for IESE. With an entrepreneurial mindset, IESE aligned its portfolio of executive programs to current economic realities. Our program offerings responded to the wide-ranging questions of alumni and friends about how best to meet current challenges and prepare for the future. New and ongoing programs offered new perspectives, practical strategies, and encouraging support. The overall upswing in participation we saw this year refl ected, we believe, a global awareness of the need for new paradigms. Our response was to encourage business leaders to step back, take a fresh look, innovate and move forward with strength of purpose and optimism. At IESE, we have never been more acutely aware of the role companies play in fueling economic and social progress. We see it as our global social responsibility to develop business leaders with integrity and service orientation: leaders who hold themselves accountable, who value their people, and who recognize that personal and organizational development feed societal growth. As we continue to seize new opportunities for a better future, we are gratifi ed by the dedication of our superlative faculty, administrators, and staff.

In today’s complex and changing global environment, to what extent are business schools capable of preparing senior managers and entrepreneurs who can contribute toward creating a better society? The world expects more from business schools than ever. To prepare managers and entrepreneurs to succeed in a fast-changing workplace, business education programs must be highly relevant and rigorous. As countries converge economically, a global vision and a deep knowledge of some regions are key ingredients for senior managers. We must also provide a values-based framework that can help guide ethical decision making in many settings and help develop better managers and respected companies. Business leaders should be a positive reference in society for their competence, integrity and service. Since its foundation in 1958, IESE has sought to excel in all of these areas. For that reason, it is well-positioned to help companies add value to society as we reach a critical juncture in the business world. An extraordinary shift is taking place today as growing economies and greater political stability in many parts of the world are leading to a better quality of life for many people. A great amount of optimism, energy and dynamism can be found in places such as Latin America, Africa and Asia, where IESE is carrying out a growing number of its activities.

The school´s activities try to apply and develop the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) Initiative, which are also coherent with our mission. IESE’s mission is to help develop leaders who seek to have a deep, positive and lasting impact on people, firms and society through professional excellence, integrity and spirit of service. This mission, which guides all the school’s activities, is highly congruous with the PRME initiative.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2010-2011 ANNUAL REPORT 2010-2011 4 New Leadership for New Challenges 14 The IESE Commitment 24 Expanding Our Programs 36 Faculty and Research 46 IESE’s Community CONTENTS 58 Financial Information 70 Exhibits NEW LEADERSHIP FOR NEW CHALLENGES There is a clear need for a change in corporate leadership and this is where management education must show the way. As educators we have an obligation to prepare new generations of leaders with a solid sense of professional excellence and corporate responsibility. Business leadership must view their companies’ success in terms that go beyond mere financial profits. We have the obligation and the opportunity to groom a new generation of leaders who will take seriously the notions of professionalism and accountability, and who understand that firms are communities of people. IESE’s goal has always been to help develop business leaders who want to have a deep, positive and lasting impact on their companies, on people and society. The many ways in which IESE has long been at the forefront in seizing these opportunities are evident in these pages. The full-time MBA program continues to grow and to attract students from diverse backgrounds, countries and cultures. The New York Center is already fully operational. With the school offering executive programs in New York City, Shanghai, São Paulo and Munich, IESE further extended its programs’ global reach. IESE aims for a balanced focus on high-quality teaching and research that can have a transformational impact on students and companies. Faculty members have received awards for books, articles and case studies on topics such as ethics, corporate social responsibility, IESE Annual Report 2010-2011 5 entrepreneurship, strategy and family business, among others.
