At IE Business School, innovation has been a way of life since 1973, moulding cosmopolitan directors and
entrepreneurs that embrace change and lead with humanity to generate employment, sustainable value, and
social well-being.
Since IE Business School first embarked on this undertaking over three decades ago, continuous changes
have left their mark on the corporate world, making our mission an even more exciting project. In order to
achieve our objectives, we have a 400-strong faculty, comprised of professors who teach students from
over 80 countries on our master, doctorate, and executive education programs. They all share the same
objective, namely to shape business leaders that contribute to the creation of value through competitive,
innovative, and socially responsible business initiatives. This commitment is evidenced by our 37,000-strong
alumni network that hold management positions in over 100 countries, serving as IE ambassadors worldwide.
If I had to state what differentiates IE Business School, I would doubtless say that it is how we bring together
incredibly diverse groups of students and faculty in an intensive learning experience, against a backdrop of
a major European capital city. The student-centric learning model means that active participation plays a
pivotal role in IE programs, fostering debate and teamwork that culminate in highly practical, interactive classes,
led by outstanding professors, holding many doctorates form leading European and US universities. Moreover,
IE gleans great advantage from its valuable international contact network, which provides a privileged insight
into the corporate community that IE serves and equipping IE students with essential knowledge and skills.
Students and alumni also maintain and build on contacts through the IE communities platform
(communities.ie.edu). This pioneering initiative provides students, alumni, professors, and associate professionals
with an interface whereby they can share theoretical and practical knowledge about sectors, functional areas
or geographic regions regardless of their geographic location.
This is how we recreate the IE experience each day, with the work and enthusiasm of all those who form
part of the IE Business School community. It's an experience that has positioned us as an innovative and
entrepreneurial school. A school that forms opinions. A school that makes a difference.

IE is Entrepreneurship
• IE Business School was among the vanguard
when, in 1983, it created a department exclusively
dedicated to the promotion of entrepreneurship.
The following are the main initiatives launched
by the department for Entrepreneurial
Management:
• 14% of IE graduates start up their own
ventures over the course of their careers.
Venture Lab ( V-Lab), the center for
entrepreneurs par excellence. Venture Lab
brings together all forms of entrepreneurial
ventures: new business projects, family
business projects, corporate projects and
social projects. V-Lab, with the support of Caja
M adrid, promotes entrepreneurial
development through a series of annual
activities which stimulate the development
of innovative projects and bring together
financing sources and Master students as well
as the alumni community.
• Under the guidance of the professors from the
Department for Entrepreneurial Management
and with the support of over 100 external
professors, alumni entrepreneurs, and
professionals from the world of business startups, all IE students work in groups to draw up
their own business plan as part of their program.
IE Business School was founded by
entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. Since its
inception, we have worked to support new
initiatives and to promote entrepreneurship in
the business world.
Entrepreneurship
At IE Business School we are convinced that
entrepreneurship is the main drive behind growth and
the generation of collective wealth, employment, and
social well-being.
Venture Day (V-Day) ends a year of hard work
and intense entrepreneurial activity with a
flourish. Students with projects of clear
entrepreneurial merit but with a lack of funding
have the opportunity to present their ideas to
over 100 investors on a designated day, on
which the school is imbued with the spirit of
entrepreneurship.
IE Business Plan Competition encourages the
development of high potential projects. A
competitive dynamic (there are various
committees to follow the projects' progress),
the spirit of cooperation, support, conferences,
and a privileged network come together to
make the entrepreneurial experience offered
by IE a unique opportunity to shape
entrepreneurial initiative.
Iceved (International Center for Entrepreneurship
and Ventures Development), a platform that
links 25 business schools from across the world
and which develops various research projects,
facilitates networking, and training in the field
of business start-ups.
www.iceved.com
"Banespyme-Orange Project”, an annual
competition coordinated by IE Business School,
Orange and Banespyme School, which aims to
promote the creation of technological
businesses. The previous Banespyme-Orange
projects have, over six years, created 1,100 jobs
directly and indirectly and have received more
than 20 million Euros from private investors.
Business Angels School, IE Business School
benefits from a Business Angels School, a
private investors training center which offers
specific training in the financing of start-ups
and business plan analysis.
Entrepreneurship Summer School, as part of
the IE led Sumaq Alliance, the Department for
Entrepreneurial Management offers (through
ICEVED) an intensive summer school in
entrepreneurial training in conjunction with
Latin-American universities and business
schools.
GEM Report (Global Entrepreneurship
Monitor) leads investigative study on a global
scale which, in its eight years, has become an
important international reference on the
condition of global business creation. The
Spanish team from IE Business School is one of
the most advanced of the 45 countries that
carry out the report. www.ie.edu/GEM
Other activities include entrepreneurial training,
research, production of our own learning
resources, organization of entrepreneurship
clubs for current students and the Entrepreneur
Circle for alumni entrepreneurs and our
professors work with top international business
schools and universities all come together to
assure the best training and the most complete
experience for students who want to develop
their entrepreneurial interests.

IE is Innovation
“Immediate response to the
changing needs and opportunities
of the business world”
The innovative spirit of IE Business School permeates the whole organization. We are specialists
in detecting the latest trends and quickly responding to the changing needs of the business
world by means of:
• Technological innovation incorporated into teaching techniques.
• Renewal of course content every year in order to incorporate the latest trends in management
tools and models.
One of IE’s proposals to optimize the use of new technology is the Online Education Department.
We apply innovation both to the pedagogical methodology through the design of online programs
and modules, and to the course content. Every year we also develop new resources such as
interactive exercises and games, simulations, multimedia case studies, and technical notes that
are used in both presential and online programs, helping to attain excellence in business education.
Some of our programs are followed by students who work in 20 different countries
who study over the Internet. These courses include presential periods in different cities across
the world and as well as online training stages. During the online periods, participants work on
the material in teams by using time-delayed debate forums and video-conferences. This blended
format means that many executives can take part in our executive training programs without
neglecting their professional responsibilities.
As well as IE's master programs, we offer executive education programs to keep up to date with
the necessary knowledge and developments in our new business world.

IE is Network
IE Communities
Based on the new paradigm of multi-origin
knowledge, the ieCommunities Network is
structured around three axes-geographical,
sectoral, and functional. The result is a formidable
resource that pools the expertise and
networking capabilities of some 37,000 IE
alumni, professors, and distinguished
professionals worldwide. Members of the
communities use them to debate on managerial
trends, build on and strengthen contacts with
other alumni, professors, and executives,
exchange experiences, participate in private
forums, or post articles on public blogs.
Careers Management Center
A large number of businesses, consulting
firms and headhunters look to IE Business
School year after year in their search for top
professionals, attracted by the quality of our
students and alumni. The Careers
Management Center handles over 6,000 job
offers each year as well as organizing a
number of activities to further increase the
career prospects of IE graduates. The key
event in the Careers Management Center
calendar is the Annual Careers Fair, which
serves as an interface for students and
recruiters to get to know each other.
communities.ie.edu
The mission of the Careers Management
Center is to expand on job opportunities for
IE Business School students and alumni. It
serves as an active partner for all students
as they map a career path, educating and
training them to compound on the skills they
have acquired to meet the challenges of the
labour market. The Careers Management
Center also offers each student individual
career planning and networking sessions as
part of their program.

Alumni Association
The Alumni Association promotes relations
between IE Business School graduates and
acts as a platform for networking for its
37,000 alumni members in over 100 different
countries.
Through the Association, we promote the
continuous training of our graduates and
provide assistance in their professional
development.
The Annual Alumni Conference has become
the flagship event and the main networking
event in the alumni calendars. This important
event, which brings together over 1500
alumni, coming from more than 60 countries
across the globe, alumni best reflects the
spirit in which the Association was created:
to develop a network uniting graduates and
to promote their continuous training.

IE is Responsibility
IE Business School’s commitment to society has
permeated every aspect of the school, as reflected
by core program content and electives specialized
in the field of corporate responsibility (CR).
Other consolidated initiatives include the
Chair in Corporate Ethics funded by the IE
Alumni Association, or the IE code of
professional conduct, the result of a joint
effort by professors, students and alumni. This
commitment culminated in the creation of a
dedicated depar tment, Social Impact
Management at IE, which now plays a pivotal
role in the day-to-day fabric of the school.
IE addresses Social Impact Management from
3 essential angles: knowledge, generated by
research, and transferred through teaching
and events; the engagement of IE students,
alumni, established professionals, and other
members of the IE community to implement
knowledge; and outreach, via strategic
collaborations and social entrepreneurial
alliances and initiatives whereby IE members
interact with the community.
IE is recognized for its commitment to social
responsibility, ranking 1st in Europe and 10th in the
world in the Aspen Institute Social Responsibility
ranking.

Knowledge
Research is powered by social impact
management centres at IE, like
• The PwC/IE Center for Corporate Responsibility
• PwC/IE Public Sector Center
• The IE Center for Diversity
• The IE Center for Eco-Intelligent Management
IE Business School is including the Social Impact
Management in all academic areas.
Engagement
Engagement of students and alumni in CR
activities starts with the admissions process
and continues through numerous initiatives,
including: the Net Impact Chapter, a speaker
series led by IE students covering topics related
to corporate responsibility and sustainability;
EcologIE, platform which addresses
environmental challenges at IE; student clubs
dedicated to Diversity, Entrepreneurship, and
Women in Business; the Mentor Program, which
provides a link between prestigious
professionals and IE students; internships and
pro bono consultancies in NGOs; and career
support in the form of corporate presentations
by NGOs and international bodies like the
World Bank or the International Committee of
the Red Cross.
Responsibility
Outreach
Outreach takes many forms, including
alliances with organizations like the Global
Compact with IE forming part of the GC
Principles for Responsible Management
Education workgroup. It also includes events,
such as the organization by IE of the Sumaqled 1st European-Ibero American Congress on
Corporate Responsibility, and dedicated
support, like IE’s sponsorship of the EFMD CSR
case study award. The different IE research
centers organize their own activities and
events in their fields to bring further impetus
to their work. Conference cycles run by the IE
Center for Eco-intelligent Management, for
example, take innovation beyond the
standard improvements required by law. They
examine how eco-intelligence requires the
alteration of product design criteria, the
development of new human resource skills
and new approaches to manufacturing
processes and customer relationships.
In short, IE Business School’s drive to address
social and environmental issues as one of the
major challenges facing business
organizations in the 21st century forms an
integral part of the school´s strategic vision
and future roadmap.

MASTER IN INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT
Why doing a Master in International Management?
The business world has become fully international. It is not just about
multinational or local companies. It is not just about big or small
business. Today the only way to compete with advantage and
potentially succeed is by understanding this reality and behaving
accordingly.
Fernando Echánove
Academic Director
The development of the new technologies and the progressive
disappearance of trade and geopolitical frontiers draw a new reality
in which connectivity is maximum and the access to business
opportunities, equally for competitors, is global.
Today it is impossible to address the search of new business
opportunities, to innovate in products and services, without the
limitless access to information that internet provides.
Financing projects and business growth oblige us to look at the
financial markets with a global perspective. Supply chain splitted very
often in multiple operations and locations, the search for scale
economies, international procurement and logistics, global branding,
international retailers, all of them drive the frame of business operations
to a much wider reality, full of new opportunities that demand new
professional profiles. Today it is not even possible to manage small
local business ignoring that new reality.
The Master in International Management addresses this competitive
frame, and it has been designed to prepare future professionals capable
to compete with advantage in a global environment. It is not just
developing international strategic and functional competences to
future business leaders, but perhaps even more, provide them with the
personal skills to address this new reality with security and flexibility.
It is about becoming a global citizen willing to live in a world in
permanent evolution and growth, and do so applying the principles
of honesty, social concern and ethics that define the spirit of IE
Business School.

Objective
The Master in International Management is a 13-month program taught in English or Spanish and designed
to prepare future global and multicultural professionals as Business environment has become increasingly
international in any given functional area of the company. Documents, case studies, discussions and company
presentations during the course will be aimed to address this new business reality. More specifically, there are
4 areas covered during this Master:
1. Capture and be familiar with business fundamentals: the program begins by building a solid foundation
in business studies through courses covering cornerstones of business strategy, finance and human resource
management, operations and marketing - all this in a international environment. The understanding of
basic aspects of business, such as opportunity identification and competitive assessment, and the way to
address them through plans, organization design, processes and resources will allow students to become
familiar with businesses and hence approach internationality from a stronger perspective.
2. Identifying and recognizing top trends: becoming familiar with all kind of new consumer, society and
business trends will help draw a global reality full of new opportunities. Looking at the world as a global
citizen and learning how to enjoy this new reality will provide students with a competitive advantage and
prepare them for a new business world.
3. To understand and participate in business globalization: students will be exposed to the increasing
complexity of businesses based on technology and geopolitical disappearance of frontiers. Applying
business fundamentals to cross border opportunities and global business models will allow a much richer
and wider management perspective. Internationality will be present both in terms of strategic assessment
and functional understanding. Students will learn, among other subjects, international trade and investment,
global financial strategies, international markets, cross border business, international regulation and
multicultural environment operations.
4. Develop capacities and competencies that will provide competitive advantage for a fast integration of
the international reality into the business practices. Understanding multiple cultures, developing leadership
skills for wider business environment, understanding the importance of networking and partnering in a
business world that operates very often with remote business processes, all these will allow for a new kind
of professional, much more integrated and capable to succeed in an open world.

Business knowledge is no longer enough to work with and manage people given
that most key positions require specific competencies and skills. Studying the Master
in International Management not only equipped us with knowledge but also afforded
the opportunity to develop skills and competencies. The program included training
days with experts who enabled us to master a specific subject from all perspectives
and in deep detail. We also had the opportunity to learn and practice skills such as
negotiation, feedback, leadership, networking, and cross-cultural teamwork. The
teaching method at IE is based on working in groups of students from highly diverse
cultures and backgrounds. It was the perfect environment for the constant development
of key skills and competencies

One of the elements of the Masters in Management that I found most
appealing was the Beyond Borders Experience Module. Unlike other
traditional graduate programs, the Beyond Borders Experience allows
students to customize their degree by participating in either an exchange
program, Venture Lab, or an internship. The program allows students
to compliment the lessons learned in the classroom with the option that
best fits their future plans. Through the program, I was able to be
selected for an internship with a renowned NGO, something that will
surely provide me with the experience I need to continue in the sector.
The ability to actually customize my Master to fit my needs and ambitions

Master in Telecom & Digital Business
The Telecom & Digital Business Team
The fifth wave of technology has come to permeate all aspects of our lives. Its
behavior is extremely dynamic and changing. It generates new business
opportunities, transforms others, and -thanks to technological convergence- is
driving a process of integration between content and its medium, two historically
separate spheres that are now merging into one.
Understanding the background to information and communications technologies
and the possible future scenarios to which they give rise, as well as the structural
consequences of their influences on the production system, is crucial to
interpreting them.
An in-depth analysis of these technologies and scenarios under the guidance of
experts in each field and business leaders with a solid track record is the key to
understanding this new economy as it progresses along its inexorable path
towards convergence.
This program represents a pioneering commitment by IE to achieve excellence
in the area of global management of the converging worlds of technology and
business.

Accenture's dual commitment to people and innovation underpins our strong
support and enthusiasm for this joint initiative. The Master in Telecom & Digital
Business provides participants with a unique forum where they can enhance
their development and learning, in direct contact with IE, Accenture and other
worldwide experts. We are confident that we are fulfilling an important role equipping tomorrow's leaders with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive
in the digital economy.

Recognizing opportunities among industries as diverse as
telecommunications, information technology, consumer electronics
and online content creation is no easy task. Hence new professionals
require specialized training in order to pinpoint openings, understand
the business processes that govern this new area, and rise to the
challenges of this large emerging sector. It is not only the consumer
who encounters greater possibilities offered to him/her on a daily basis,
but also enterprises and their business models.
Ricardo Pérez Garrido In order to keep abreast of these market changes, professionals need
to equip themselves with a series of basic technical competencies, such
Principal Advisor
as the understanding of specific processes required for product and
service development in this new environment.
The Master in Telecom & Digital Business responds to the above
mentioned knowledge gaps by providing students with the kind of
expert knowledge in business management that the teaching faculty
at IE provides, coupled with specific experiences that a select group of
experts and members of the program's Advisory Board bring to the
learning process.

The Master in Telecom & Digital Business is a very interesting program for students who
wish to acquire management skills with a special focus on the telecom and digital
business. I chose this program because I am passionate about the telecom industry. I
think that telecom is a core industry in every major country and you only have to look
at how fast the industry is moving and changing to know that it is going to generate an
enormous number of job opportunities in the near future in different world regions.
One of the key aspects of the Master in Telecom & Digital Business Management is
how it tackles the convergence taking place in the telecom sector, complete with triple
play, quadruple play and unprecedented levels of innovation.
What I am really enjoying about the program is being able to analyse the evolution of
these two industries, how they interact with each other and how they are changing our
lives. In this highly international environment not only are we learning a great deal from
superb professors but also from each other.

The teaching methods used in the Masters in Management are based on practical and inter-active
learning processes, given that we feel this to be the best methodology for training somebody who is
developing a business activity in a continuously changing environment.
Acquisition of technical experience
The Master in Management uses only 10-15% of sessions for learning techniques, theories, concepts and tools.
The student is introduced to these through symposium-conferences where the professor explains the basic
concepts of a specific subject, and students are required to participate actively, putting forward their points
of view, opinions and differences.
Decision-making skills development
The acquisition of knowledge is, however, merely a stage in the drive towards programme objectives. One of
the executive's main role is decision making, and this particular skill is acquired through the case method,
consisting of discussing real business situations in which choices must be taken in a broad range of sectors
and executive positions.
Case Method
This is the main methodology used
throughout the programme. During the
general sessions, business situations
previously analysed as cases are discussed.
Practical case studies describe real business
situations where decisions have to be made.
The tools of theoretical analysis are
examined either via on-site explanations
in the classroom or by on-line
documentation and debate. The teaching
notes given to the participants introduce
and develop the concepts involved in
understanding the case.
Teamwork
Participants are divided into groups
according to their profile and background
for specific cases. These work groups share
experiences and knowledge, enriching
discussions and the learning process.
Conferences
Certain sessions of the course are presented in
the form of conferences, selected in accordance
with the level of experience and knowledge of
participants and the contents.
Reports and Projects
Whether undertaken individually or in groups,
studies of specific issues will be carried out and
reports on the cases discussed, defining solutions to the
problems raised on each occasion. Similarly, projects
dealing with real cases will be treated using a global vision
of the programme.
Role Play
In certain fields the teams must prepare and
play different parts in the resolution of cases,
particularly those concerning negotiation.
