Madrid, December 4, 2006.
IE Business School holds 4th position among European business schools and is number 1 in Spain according to the FT European Business Schools Ranking. This annual survey is based on a synthesis of the results obtained by leading European Business Schools in the rankings of MBA, Executive MBA, Masters in Management and Executive Education programs published this year by Financial Times. The outcome of the survey further consolidates IE’s position as one of the best schools in Europe.

The global ranking is based on criteria that include the degree of internationalisation of the participating business schools, professional progress and salaries of graduates three years after graduation, international projection of the programmes, levels of diversity among the student body and faculty, and the extent to which students’ and corporate clients’ expectations are met.

IE Business School shapes leaders that promote innovation and change in organisations, equipping directors with an entrepreneurial mindset that generates employment, wealth and social wellbeing. Recognised as one of the world’s leading business schools, IE Business School has an urban campus in Madrid and a faculty of more than 400 professors who teach students from 73 countries on its master, PhD and executive education programs. IE students use innovative online and presential learning formats, including the IE Communities platform where they exchange knowledge and experiences with 35,000 IE graduates that currently hold management positions in some 85 countries.

Publico aqui notícia que saiu em Londres na semana passada.

El IE Business School ocupa la 7ª posición mundial en programas abiertos de formación ejecutiva, según el ranking de Financial Times

Madrid, Mayo de 2006. El IE Business School ocupa la 7ª posición del mundo en programas abiertos de formación ejecutiva, según el Ranking 2006 de Executive Education que publicó ayer lunes el diario británico Financial Times. Este ranking internacional, que analiza la calidad de la formación directiva, sitúa al IE en la 19ª posición del mundo en el ranking combinado que incluye los resultados de los rankings parciales de programas abiertos para directivos y formación in-company.

Dentro de los programas abiertos de formación del IE destaca el ‘Foro del Liderazgo Empresarial’, un programa en el que participan Presidentes, Vicepresidentes y Consejeros Delegados de las principales empresas españolas, que se reúnen mensualmente con personalidades del mundo de la política, las finanzas, la economía y la empresa. Coordinado por el IE, este espacio de debate propicia la confrontación de ideas y la predicción de tendencias políticas y económicas en distintas regiones del planeta, lo que permite bosquejar una visión global. Entre las personalidades que han participado recientemente en las sesiones del ‘Foro del Liderazgo Empresarial’ del IE figuran George Soros, Edward Prescott, Klaus Schwab o Mikhail Kasianov, entre otros. Todos ellos han compartido con los miembros del ‘Foro del Liderazgo Empresarial’ su visión económica, política o social, sobre temas de actualidad.

El Ranking de Executive Education de Financial Times analiza distintos parámetros de calidad de los programas de executive education. Entre ellos, evalúa el grado de satisfacción de los participantes respecto a la preparación y el diseño de los cursos, la calidad del claustro de profesores, el enfoque internacional de los programas, el perfil del alumnado, el desarrollo de habilidades de dirección, el cumplimiento de expectativas, etc. Tanto en el análisis de los programas abiertos, como en el de la formación in-company, los expertos han contrastado la opinión de participantes y empresas clientes.
