Governance
IESE Business School's Executive Committee is responsible for the long-term strategic development of the school, 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.
The School's International Advisory Board 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 center, 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 fifty 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.

Associated business schools
In the same way that IESE was guided by Harvard Business School when it was first established, IESE has helped establish 15 other high-quality business schools, mainly in developing regions of the world.
IESE's global reach goes well beyond the school's campuses and facilities in Barcelona, Madrid, Munich, New York and São Paulo. The school's links to associated business schools and those with which it has exchange agreements and partnerships give students a heightened sense of partaking in a global community. Together with its global vision and the diverse nationalities of students and program participants, the school's international academic alliances bring the world to the IESE classroom and the IESE experience.
For many years, IESE has been actively dedicated to helping foster management development in Africa. In collaboration with the local academic community and businesses, IESE has established three new Business schools in Africa - Lagos Business School (Pan-African University in Nigeria; Strathmore Business School (Strathmore University in Kenya) and MDE Business School, in Ivory Coast.
Since 1992 IESE has collaborated in a variety of ways with Lagos Business School such as an advisory board made up of IESE professors and the opportunity for students to attend IESE's PhD program in Barcelona. In 2005, IESE signed an agreement with Strathmore University in Nairobi to establish a business school. Moreover, IESE's International Faculty Program (IFDP), designed for faculty members of business schools worldwide, sees a growing number of professors from African business schools each year.

IESE Executive Education offers a wide portfolio of open and customized executive programs delivered in Barcelona, Madrid, New York and many other global locations. Consistently ranked among the best in the world by The Financial Times, The Economist and others, these programs are attended by more than 4,000 senior executives every year. The classes are designed and taught by full-time faculty and feature intensive use of the case method. IESE Executive Education programs reflect the IESE mission of developing competent and responsible leaders who want to have a positive and lasting impact on people, companies and society.

International Advisory Board
Created in 1989, IESE?ïs International Advisory Board (IAB) was established in order to help IESE assess the evolving socioeconomic context in which businesses functions and the latest needs, tendencies and advancements in the field of management and leadership education. The IAB is composed of prominent business and civic leaders from Europe, the United Kingdom, the Americas and Asia who are recognized for their contributions to the development of management and business.

IESE New York Center
In 2010, IESE inaugurated a new executive education center located in midtown Manhattan.
Located at 165 W 57th Street, the newly refurbished building was originally designed to showcase the arts. Built in 1916 and located across the street from Carnegie Hall, it was commissioned by Louis H. Chalif (1876-1948) from the brother architects George and Henry Boehm to house his dance studio and the Normal School of Dancing. The design called for an asymmetrical façade with motifs inspired by the Italian Renaissance and Mannerism periods. It was to feature tan-gray colored brick laid in a diamond pattern and polychrome terracotta with classical and theatrical references that adorn the upper stories of the building.
In 2007, the building was chosen to be IESE Business School's new home in North America: the IESE New York Center. The building's façade has been preserved, while the interior - with 25,000 square feet (2,300 m2) of space on six floors - has been transformed into a state-of-the-art learning environment. The center will feature multi-functional spaces for breakout sessions, food services, working spaces for staff and research assistants, two large amphitheater-style classrooms, offices and a chapel.
Institute for Media and Entertainment (IME)
IESE's New York Center is home to the Institute for Media and Entertainment (IME). With IME's research support, IESE delivers executive education programs for companies and individuals from leading firms in the industry like Disney, Google, Time Warner, Viacom, Discovery and others. IME and IESE are program partners in the Advanced Management Program (AMP) in Media and Entertainment or the "Media AMP." The Media AMP is an intensive business education program for seasoned, high-potential executives from media and entertainment companies all over the world. The program is a first of its kind in the industry and is jointly offered with industry thought leader The Paley Center for Media.
Other media and entertainment programs offered at the IESE New York Center include Advanced Digital Media Strategies and Branding in Media and Entertainment. Custom programs are also developed for companies to address their specific business and executive training needs.
Additionally, IME maintains a media and entertainment business blog that provides free research reports and commentary regarding industry news and trends.

The IESE Africa Initiative
Internationalization has been one of the key characteristics of IESE since its very founding in 1958. IESE's participants, research, and faculty have always had strong international components and over the years, IESE itself has developed internationally expanding to new locations in Brazil, Germany and the United States amongst others.
In addition to its own "organic" development, IESE over the years has contributed to the creation and development of up to 18 business schools throughout the world. Initially, such associated business schools were mostly created in Latin American due to obvious reason of cultures and language.
In 1992 IESE was instrumental in the launch and subsequent development of the Lagos Business School in Nigeria. Then, at the turn of the century, IESE started cooperating with the Nile University, Cairo, Egypt.
In 2005, our school help launch the Strathmore Business School within the preexisting, prestigious Strathmore University in Nairobi, Kenya.
In 2008, AESE Business School (Lisbon, Portugal) together with FACIDE (an Angolan association of executives) launched the Angola School of Management (ASM). IESE was also invited to participate in this effort which was largely driven from Lisbon.
Most recently, in 2009, after offering some short seminars to test the waters, IESE helped IHE-Afrique to launch MDE Business School in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. It was then decided to launch a long executive education program and eventually the first Advanced Management Program (AMP) started in February 2011.
Due the increasing activity of IESE Faculty in these kinds of projects, the Dean and the board of directors of IESE decided to create The IESE Africa Initiative in September 2009 in order to enhance the commitment of the school to the creation of new African business schools and the education of the next generation of business leaders and entrepreneurs.
Therefore, the mandate of The Africa Initiative is to be proactive in three different fields:
- 1. Academia: stimulating academic activities such as program design, case writing, teaching, research, faculty development and general organizational details such as how to create an Alumni Association or a Library.
- 2. Relationship with foreign companies: trying to show to European countries that Africa has become a growth opportunity which should feature in their strategies.
- 3. Social help: Contributing to different NGO through developing campaigns to raise funds.
