IESE, IPADE & IAE: A Unique Alliance

IESE, IPADE and IAE form a powerful partnership. Together they provide profound expertise in Latin American issues and the cultivation of managerial excellence.

Pioneers in Business Education

Established in 1958, IESE began to provide executive education programs at a time when executive education was scarcely known outside the United States. Today, the school enjoys numerous alliances with top U.S. schools such as Harvard, Stanford, MIT Sloan and the University of Michigan. IESE further strengthened its presence in the United States when it established its New York offices in 2007.

IPADE was established in Mexico in 1967 with a clear mission: developing the senior management of Mexico’s top organizations.  From the beginning, IPADE has promoted a holistic approach to general management, going beyond technical and financial parameters to encompass the personal attributes necessary for effective leadership.

Since its founding in 1978, IAE has become one of only four business schools in Latin America to obtain three international quality recognitions for higher education. Based in Buenos Aires, IAE maintains partnerships with the world’s most prestigious business schools, further enhancing the global expanse of its programs.

International Character

The program attains a highly specialized regional focus by teaming IESE with the highly acclaimed IPADE and IAE Business Schools. All three schools are recognized internationally for excellence in the most prominent business education rankings.

The Wall Street Journal has rated IPADE among the top 5 business schools in the world. The Financial Times ranked it the top business school for career progress and also gave high marks to IAE, which ranked number one in the world in international clients, and fourth in international partnerships.

This dynamic alliance results in a program that combines a global mindset with a sophisticated understanding of the different cultural, institutional and social dimensions that impact business in Latin America. International faculty members from distinct countries provide participants with a rich international perspective of the global business world.
