Experience IESE
and our Executive MBA.
IESE
Business School invites you to experience the case method and learn about our
Madrid Executive MBA program in an online Open Session.
Join us online on March 18th,
2025 at 18:00h (CEST)!
Why
Participate in an Open Session?
During the program,
the case study method will be the primary learning methodology.
In Open Sessions, you will get a first glimpse at how our EMBA classes work.
It´s an exact replica of a real class and it will show you part of the
preparation process. You will prepare the case individually, see what the core
issues are and where you would put your focus, and then discuss the case with
the professor in the plenum. The only difference to a real class is that
you will not discuss it with your team before the class. This way, you can
already see how much time it takes to really understand a case in all its
facets and maybe work on your personal case preparation strategy.
The Case Method
What
is it and what will you do?
This method was first used at
Harvard in the early 20th century and has since become hugely popular thanks to
its effectiveness in developing knowledge, skills, and attitudes among
experienced students.
Here are some main benefits:
- Shape new perspectives
through active listening with classmates and teachers.
- Improve critical judgment through
discussion. Expand the capacity for diagnosis and reflection.
- Develop a cross-sectional view of general
management to face any business decision that can be applied to your
company.
Unlike the traditional
teacher-focused methods, at IESE the class is based on the students and their
ideas. Students study the case individually, prepare it in groups and tackle
the problem to be solved. The professor facilitates and guides the classroom
debate. Addressing the prognosis prepared by the participants, the professor
encourages participation from the entire class in order to deepen the
discussion with different points of view stemming from diverse experiences and
cultural backgrounds.
