ESADE, founded in 1958, is an institution whose main activities of education, research and social debate take place on three campuses: Barcelona, Madrid and Buenos Aires.
ESADE aims to educate individuals with a high level of professional competence, aware of their responsibilities as national and global citizens, sensitive to issues of solidarity and social justice and able to engage in collective projects. To that end ESADE is involved in promoting ‘human qualities’: a combination of knowledge, judgment, balance and depth that generates confident, consistent, reliable citizens capable of living fundamental values.
Being part of a university institution such as ESADE should involve an attitude of commitment to its Mission: a commitment that is expressed in the values governing their daily coexistence and academic activity. Those who share these values make up their community.

You will come away with a fundamental set of values and a deep sense of social responsibility.
The ESADE MBA is designed so that you can develop management know-how as well as those managerial skills that will be most useful to you in the future. From the very first day, you meet your career advisors and coaches to create a plan based on personal and professional objectives.
The Full-Time MBA reveals business realities in a very practical way. Only a multidisciplinary approach (as opposed to traditional teaching in compartmentalized subjects) can reflect the real business world. The programme is structured in 5 stages and combines core courses with electives, thus ensuring the MBA meets the individual needs of each student.

Executive MBA:
The knowledge and practical experience gained on the Executive MBA program enhance your value to the company and its clients, allowing you to take on the challenges and responsibilities found in senior management.
The Executive MBA helps develop key abilities – leadership, communication, creativity, enhanced management style, intellectual rigor, and motivation of staff.
The program comprises five stages, avoiding the traditional approach based on “courses” and “management functions”. Instead, an integrated approach is used to tackle problems and the most suitable choices made in the light of the company’s circumstances.
The business world is a complex one, hence the need for various perspectives when seeking solutions. They strike the right balance between techniques and disciplines, and the practical application of concepts. Each stage of the program includes intensive week to cover a key management and personal development theme. Three of these are held outside ESADE. Two of them are study tours at top business schools in the USA and UK. The third week is dedicated to Outdoor Training activities.

Custom Programs:
Standard programs cannot always fulfill training requirements. And companies are sometimes faced with the challenge of training not just a few individuals but entire teams. The situation can be further complicated when both these circumstances occur simultaneously.
ESADE Business School Executive Education offers organizations two comprehensive solutions to resolve this problem. Leadership Development Programs (LDP) are totally personalized, designed, and executed in close collaboration with the company and oriented toward building skills. In-Company Training (ICT), are programs with a company-focused approach, primarily centered on building knowledge specific to the organization.
Their main objective is to develop long-term relationships with organizations. To this end, ESADE Executive Education does not simply provide services and information, but works as a partner, advising companies on how to meet their training needs within their business environment and based on the organization’s global vision.

Executive Masters in Marketing:
You are a marketing manager or a sales manager with ample years of work experience; you graduated some years ago and you think the time has come to fast-forward your competences and skills. Too busy accumulating significant experience in managing marketing and sales activities, you did not have the time to critically reflect on your experience and to compare it with that of others.

However, you believe that market orientation is a must for any company, and that sound knowledge is the pillar on which to build a successful career. You have drive, you have ambition, you have already developed a successful career, but now you want to make a leap forward. The executive master in marketing & sales (emms) is ideal for energetic, forward-looking young executives who want to reach out and acquire a global mindset.
