IMD is possibly the only top business school in the world where MBA students are treated to a sumptious lunch every day for free. The reason: The school, located in Lausanne, on the shores of one of Switzerland’s most beautiful lakes, is an executive education powerhouse with visiting execs every day. And they must be served a wonderful meal while on the campus, situated about 40 minutes by road or rail from Geneva.
Though IMD’s primary business is executive education, the school offers an intensive and intimate one-year MBA experience for just 90 students. It may well be one of the most thoughtfully crafted MBA programs for individuals in the world. The program–which focuses on leadership, entrepreneurship and social responsibility–starts in January and ends in December. During that time, students work directly with a start-up company, as well as with CEOs and board-level executives of global companies.
IMD’s “Real World. Real Learning” approach provides the foundation for the MBA program. Taught in English, IMD claims that its MBA covers the same amount of material as a traditional 2-year program and incorporates unique leadership experiences, start-up projects, building networks and intensive personal coaching.
The program starts with business fundamentals in such core areas as accounting, finance, marketing and operations. Students get to Tunderstand the functional areas of the organization and how they work together. The second half of the year is highly project-based, allowing advanced application of the fundamentals to real leadership situations with a strong sense of ethics.
Final grading is based on exams, class participation and group projects.
Latest Up-to-Date MBA Rankings:
Poets&Quants (2011): 4
BusinessWeek (2010): 7
Forbes (2011): 1 (non-U.S.)
Financial Times (2011): 14 (global), 8 (outside U.S.)
The Economist (2011): 3 (global), 1 (outside U.S.)
Rankings Analysis: IMD slipped one notch to a rank of fourth in PoetsandQuants’ composite list of the top 50 non-U.S. MBA programs in 2011, but the change was due to advances by other schools and had nothing to do with the school’s overall position in the MBA market. In fact, the school did slightly better in all of three of the new rankings put out in 2011 by Forbes, The Financial Times, and The Economist. IMD came in first in Forbes’ return-on-investment ranking in 2011, improving slightly from its number two showing in 2009. IMD also improved one place in The Financial Times 2011 global MBA ranking, moving up to 14th from 15th. And in The Economist, the school advanced three places in that magazine’s global ranking to finish third from sixth in 2010.

The right people
The IMD MBA Program is one of the most demanding and intense learning experiences offered today. Given the high quality and number of applications that we receive for only 90 seats, the IMD MBA program is probably one of the toughest to get into. Everyone goes through a full day assessment center where we evaluate hard skills, interpersonal and communication skills and the applicants ability to work in cross-cultural teams. In addition each accepted candidate goes through a full background check conducted by an independent agency.
The right program
The key program features that differentiate the IMD MBA program are a focus on responsible leadership and general management, a personal approach to leadership development and a focus on hands-on learning. All participants divide into small teams, supported by faculty, to complete a 10-day Discovery Expedition to a country facing a difficult business environment, 9 weeks of International Consulting Projects, and Start-up Projects.
The right place
The MBA faculty interacts with senior executives on an on-going basis in IMD open enrollment programs and bring this experience into the MBA classroom. Many of the 60 full-time faculty members, made up of 20 different nationalities, are recognized world authorities in their fields. Since participants come from some 70 countries around the world to attend our MBA or other senior executive programs, IMD is recognized as a highly stimulating and enriching global maelstrom. Thus we bring to Lausanne a cultural diversity that cannot be matched by a short duration exchange program or multiple campuses.
The right reasons
IMD can credibly claim to offer participants the exhilaration of self-discovery and of developing their creative and leadership abilities. We deliberately keep the IMD MBA small and selective, we limit the class to 90 people each year because we believe that world-class business leaders cannot be mass-produced. We follow each participant throughout the program, providing very personalized leadership training with a view towards practicality and reality. The aim of the IMD MBA program is to develop global leaders who have a significant positive impact on their businesses, communities, and the global economy, and who lead with high levels of responsibility and integrity.作者: nono硕 时间: 2014-1-15 11:33
