Spotify, the music streaming giant 

Music streaming giant Spotify is everywhere, but did you know that the company has never made a profit? It’s true: the company that has made streaming the most common way for many of us to listen to music suffered more than a decade of losses.   

During the Open Day, you will discuss Spotify’s strategy using the case method and guided by professor Govert Vroom, giving you a new understanding of the importance of transformation and strategy in companies.

Some Alumni from the program will join us too and will talk about their experience in the program, how the EMBA helped them to boost their careers and how they think it will help them to face this situation.

See for yourself what a day in the EMBA is like!

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.
