The Case Method, what would you do?
In 1963 the Harvard-IESE
Committee was launched with professors from both Business Schools. Harvard and
IESE share the same training methodology: The Case Method. Unlike the
traditional teacher-focused teaching methods, at IESE the class is based around
the students and their ideas. The professor acts as a facilitator and
guides the class discussion, asking questions and encouraging participation
from all students to enrich the discussion with their distinct perspectives,
experiences and cultural backgrounds.
Experience first-hand the
teaching method pioneered by Harvard and used by IESE. Where students, with
their unique perspectives, experiences and cultural backgrounds, contribute to
the conversation and learn from each other, led by one of our well-known
professors. No need to do lots of preparation for the discussion in advance.
Just look over the case that we’ll send you beforehand.
