My visit was arranged by a former client. I really appreciate his willingness to take
time to make arrangements for me to visit one of his classes, to meet with Ms. Itziar
de Ros Raventós, the Admissions Director, and to give me a tour of the campus.
Like other top international MBA programs, the thing that
struck me about being in a class at IESE was how diverse the class was. The class I attended, Operation Strategy,
taught by Professor Alejandro Lago, was very dynamic. I was very impressed by the class and the
level of student engagement. As a case
method focused program, the class environment was quite similar to HBS except
the students at IESE are much more diverse. I was particularly glad to see the highly active
participation of so many Japanese students in the class I attended. Japanese students in MBA programs worldwide
often have a reputation for not being active in class, but at least in the
first-year class I attended, this was not the case. IESE's Japanese student page is here. Based on what I observed, IESE
surely provides the kind of internationalizing and personally transformative
education that only the best MBA programs provide.
Ms. de Ros Raventós was kind enough to take some time to
talk with me. I want to thank her for giving me a better understanding of IESE and answering some of my overall questions.
This is my first blog post on IESE, but I doubt it will be
my last.
Now back to my vacation.
