Why PURSUE A
Global Executive MBA?
You have excelled up to now and
have grown in your career. Now you
are at a turning point and face a new
level of professional and leadership
challenges as you seek to help your
company grow in an increasingly
complex and uncertain world. To
succeed, it is vital to strengthen
your knowledge of new markets and
broaden your skills as a leader. At
this stage in your career, you want to
find a program that recognizes and
addresses your specific needs and
goals.
How will you do that?
The IESE Global Executive MBA can
provide the answers.
BUSINESS SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE:
ADVANCEMENT POTENTIAL
Strengthening your management
skills and knowledge is an important
first step. Growing your leadership
capability to make better decisions
and inspire others to do the same is
also key.
IESE’s Global EMBA case-based
general management curriculum
provides you with practical tools
that will help you perfect your
management skills. Each time you
apply them to organizational needs,
the return on your educational
investment grows, as does your
advancement potential.
GLOBAL CONTEXT:
A TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT
Preparing executives to think and
act as global leaders requires a
curriculum immersed in a context
of evolving international challenges
and core humanistic values. Our
goal is to change the way you think
about organizations, as well as the
people in them, and how to manage
the interrelationships of a global
society. The resulting insight and
empowerment you experience can
be transformative.
REFLECTION: PERSONAL GROWTH
Reflection that leads to personal
growth and new career insights is an
important element of IESE’s Global
EMBA program.
The self-management component
“makes you think about yourself and
where you’re going, your career, your
family and what’s important,” notes
one alumnus.
PERSONALIZED FOCUS:
YOU ARE CENTRAL
Behind every teaching strategy,
be it, case study, team project,
faculty lecture, class discussion or
company visit, lies our resolve to
tailor your professional development
to your personal needs and goals.
Everything you take away from
IESE’s Global EMBA program will
bear your own individual stamp.

“The GEMBA was one of the best
experiences I have ever had!
The TWO years were filled with
mixed emotions, late nights, hard
work, lots of fun and enriching
exchanges with colleagues and
faculty that challenged and
helped me broaden my horizons
and knowledge beyond my wildest
IMAGININGS.
I walked out with the ability to feel
at ease in the middle of continual
change and uncertainty, with more
resilience, SELF-CONFIDENCE and
trust in myself.
a 360-DEGREE approach to managing
beyond my area of expertise, a
TOOLBOX filled with more knowledge
and more solutions to the problems
and tasks that AWAIT ME. ”

Paulo, Silicon Valley and Shanghai,

features modules in Europe, China
and the Americas. Each venue
provides a unique opportunity to
see the real-life applications of the
principles imparted in the classroom,
and offers a distinct learning
experience that exposes you to new
approaches and methodologies.
Company visits, executive meetings
and cultural events further enrich
the learning experience.
GLOBAL VISION,
LOCAL APPLICATION
BARCELONA

SHANGHAI
“The principles may be the same globally, but the application must be local,”
observes one program graduate. “IESE offers you global insight and the necessary
tools to adapt these new experiences and knowledge to your own everyday world.”
Faculty: International Reach
and Impact
The international diversity of IESE’s
world-class faculty members and
their expertise as frontline players in
global business add an incomparable
dimension to your learning – and can
even lead to ongoing consultative
relationships. You gain invaluable
insights as they share their
knowledge of cultures, business
practices and government policies.
IESE’s acclaimed faculty includes:
• Experts who have helped establish
IESE’s international network of
business schools on five continents
• Leaders of IESE’s Africa Initiative,
designed to develop and support
management education in Nigeria,
Kenya and Côte d’Ivoire
• Former government leaders
and previous members of the
IMF, World Bank, Inter-American
Development Bank and USAID
• Consultants to global CEOs and
management teams
• Members of advisory boards for
numerous global companies
• Globally recognized authorities
on business ethics, global
entrepreneurship, corporate social
responsibility and information
technology
As seasoned professionals in their
fields, IESE faculty members impart
practical wisdom. Most importantly,
they are also master teachers and
discussion facilitators who respect
the wisdom, experience and skills
that you bring to the classroom.
“GEMBA faculty members know
that there is more knowledge
on your side of the room than
on ours. The key challenge in
any session is to mobilize that
knowledge so that you end up
with a surprising result.
The class flows when we act like
the conductors of an orchestra
and participants begin to play
well with each other. I think
we’re pretty good at CREATING
THOSE ‘aha moments’ that people
don’t forget.
We take a vivid approach to
convey the concepts we think
you need to become a better
manager and a better person.”
Prof. Sandra Sieber
Academic Director
Global Executive MBA Program

GLOBAL OUTLOOK
AND HUMAN PERSPECTIVE

One of the most illuminating aspects of
the Global Executive MBA program is the
chance to engage with peers from every
corner of the globe. In and out of the
classroom, the program opens new worlds as
you share cultural values, business norms,
practical ideas and insights with each other.
One graduate described peer learning as
“class-based exposure to the subject matter.
You’re teaching one another by sharing.”

CLASS PROFILE

Great leaders can see both the global picture and the interdependent human
elements within that picture. IESE’s personalized approach builds and nurtures
the skills and insights you need to acquire this prized executive competency.
People Are Central
IESE’s overriding mission is to
develop leaders who can have a
positive, profound and lasting impact
on people, firms and society through
their professionalism, integrity and
spirit of service.
The school defines organizations
and society as collections of people
interacting with each other to reach
a common goal, and advocates
service to people and society as the
underlying aim of global business
leaders.
For this reason, the Global
Executive MBA program uses
a person-centered approach
to enhance your management
knowledge and skill set. Throughout
the program, as you expand your
knowledge of critical business areas,
you also learn to make decisions that
assess the impact on people, the
environment and society as a whole.
In the process, thinking ethically,
as well as strategically, becomes
second nature.
“I started my GEMBA
when I felt like I needed
A CHANGE in my life.
I should say that my
EDUCATION FAR EXCEEDED
MY EXPECTATIONS. IT WAS
CERTAINLY A CHALLENGING
PERIOD, BUT ONE FULL
OF DRIVE, EMOTIONS,
INTERESTING NEW PEOPLE
AND EVEN MORE: THE WHOLE
WORLD WAS OPENED TO ME.”
Igor Bulantsev (GEMBA ‘06)

AT THE HUB
AND IN THE NETWORK
Career-Spanning Connections
After hours dedicated to cases, projects,
team-building activities and other
assignments, you will forge lasting
professional relationships and friendships.
As observed by one program graduate
at the one-year reunion, “I realized how
much we liked each other and what a tight
bond had formed with this diverse group
of people.” Many classes continue to have
annual reunions and some have even made
investments together.
The IESE Alumni Association extends your
professional network beyond your class and
offers a lifetime of learning. With one of the
highest membership rates in the world, the
association opens a world of connections
and learning through its numerous services,
networking events, activities for you and
your family, and IESE faculty-led continuous
education programs.
The Center: You
Your learning becomes personal as the
concepts you acquire bring clarity to your
unique professional challenges. Your
in-company project and personalized
action plan make learning even more
relevant to your company’s needs. You will
also build vital entrepreneurial skills by
developing a business plan for your own
new venture.
Personal growth and development are
paramount in this program, since your
ability to inspire and lead involves gaining
awareness of yourself and your leadership
style. Your team will be assigned a
personal adviser who will coach and
mentor you on your leadership and
communication styles.

Your identity as a Global Executive MBA student at IESE begins with you, placed at the center
of your learning. That identity starts as a member of a study group, a class, a team or a
group of friends, and continues to evolve as a graduate when you join the ranks of more
than 40,000 IESE alumni worldwide.
“The impact of this program has never
ended. it has changed the ENTIRE way I
view my business. In my country, there
is a fear that people who invest in your
business WILL TAKE it over. But after my
IESE experience, I became quite liberated
in terms of opening up my company to new
investors.
While I was in the program, I decided to
approach the largest French manufacturer
of office seating, Sokoa SA of France, about
a joint venture in Nigeria. This was my first
test of the theory I learned in school. I
used my proposed venture with Sokoa for
my business plan in our entrepreneurship
course. My entire class was able to review
what I wanted to do and my professor of
entrepreneurship GAVE an opinion about it.
Sokoa agreed to my plan on the condition
that I BE THE CEO of that company. They did
not expect to get any dividends for five
years, but we started paying dividends IN the
second year.”

Format
AT A GLANCE
Modular in design, the program offers you
the flexibility you need to balance your
professional and personal commitments.
PRE-MODULE:
A TIME FOR PREPARATION
Your skill levels may differ from those
of other participants depending on
your professional background. This
period gives you time to learn or
refresh fundamental concepts and
prepare for the residential sessions.
RESIDENTIAL SESSIONS:
CLASSROOM LEARNING AND TEAMWORK
Analysis and discussions of
real-world case studies, interactive
team activities, lectures and
workshops bring everyone face to
face during residential modules.
Company visits, guest speakers
and networking events enrich the
experience.
DISTRIBUTED LEARNING:
REAL-WORLD APPLICATION
Between residential modules, you
will be able to apply in the workplace
what you have learned in the
classroom. Exams are also part of
this segment. You connect on line
with your classmates to analyze
cases, engage in discussions with
faculty experts and collaborate on
projects when it is most convenient
for you.
The Global Executive MBA is a one class, two track program. Participants can choose to begin their program with an
emphasis on either Europe or the Americas. As the program progresses the two tracks fully integrate, further enhancing
the diversity of the class. Time between modules allows you to absorb and apply what you have learned. Global Campus,
IESE’s proprietary distance-learning platform, connects you with your classmates and professors to help reduce work
disruption and build a supportive community.

Loan Program
IESE and one of Europe’s leading
banks –Banco Sabadell– have an
agreement by which IESE MBA
students can finance their studies with
loans that may not require a personal
guarantee. This loan is further proof
of the commitment between IESE and
Sabadell to promote the quality of
management around the globe, thus
ensuring there is no financial barrier
for any exceptional individual who has
the potential to become a world-class
manager.
Tuition Only
The global loan covers up to 80
percent of tuition fees, including the
deposit of €9,500. It does not cover
accommodation or travel expenses.
Global Loan Conditions
The loan is available to applicants who
have received written confirmation of
acceptance into the program and have
paid the tuition deposit.
During the MBA, students will only
pay interest on the loan.
According to recent Spanish
regulations, anyone receiving a
loan in Spain must have a fiscal
identification number (NIF/NIE).
The Admissions Manager of the
program will assist you with the
documentation required to obtain
the NIE and the loan.
The final decision on awarding
the loan rests entirely with the
bank. Signing the loan will take
place during Residential Module
1. The loan, life insurance and PPI
contracts will be signed in English.
The bank will transfer the funds
to IESE after the loan signing, in
accordance with the IESE MBA
schedule.
Sabadell reserves the right to deny
any loan application in accordance
with IESE Business School should
there be evidence of misconduct or
financial distress in the applicant’s
history.
LIFE INSURANCE & BANK GUARANTEE
All students are required to take out
a life insurance policy. Details will be
provided before signing the contract.
The bank guarantee is a joint
commitment for payment of the loan
that gives credit in favor of Sabadell
when the student does not meet
debt payments. The bank guarantee
must be obtained from the student’s
bank in his/her home country for the
full amount of the loan, in addition
to the expenses attached to the
loan. The bank can require a bank
guarentee in some cases.
Premium & Expenses
Insurance and expenses pertaining
to the loan must be paid in one
installment when signing the loan
contract and will be included in the
amount to be financed.
