The 2-year length of the program gives students the opportunity to achieve mastery of management skills and pursue functional specialization. Moreover, as the MBA generally opens up a host of career possibilities, students need time to explore options and decide on the career path that makes sense for them. The student is the focal point of the MBA program. Communications and presentation skills receive marked emphasis, as does work in the context of multinational teams. The IESE MBA embraces the notion that effective business practice requires a synthesis of technology, organization and people.
People are the generators, recipients and users of knowledge and the products that flow from it.
New products and services must meet real human needs and embrace authentic human values or they will fail. The IESE MBA places the human factor at the center of its curriculum.
