The Master in Management & Strategy

We believe better business practices can be a force for change in the world, improving lives and protecting the environment. We call this Sustainable Business, and it’s one of the cornerstones of our program. As you strive to achieve the professional goals you’ve laid out, we’ll provide you with a grounding in the key concepts that make Sustainable Business a reality. While the business, finance and STEM fields have not traditionally been associated with an environmental conscience, a sustainable outlook is non-negotiable in the modern business context. We all have a responsibility to the planet—none more so than the next generation of business leaders starting out at IE Business School. We’ll show you how to make sustainability a rich vein of thought that runs through everything you do.​

It’s no secret that business, finance and STEM subjects sit at the very forefront of tangible societal change. Indeed, combining the skill sets inherent to these fields with a mindset that ties economic success to social issues is one of the most effective ways to use your business skills for a wider good. We call this Social Entrepreneurship, an approach that harnesses the power of your ingenuity and problem-solving abilities to tackle enduring social problems. Studying the Master in Management & Strategy is about maximizing your potential—both as a business professional and as a person. Part of that means using the skills, strengths and practical experience you acquire to make a difference to society at large.​

At IE Business School, we believe people matter just as much as results. We call this Working Well. An inclusive workplace that prioritizes employee well-being is no longer an optional extra – it’s imperative in creating an environment where people can thrive. Positivity leads to productivity, a fact no business can afford to ignore, while diversity is a strength in and of itself. The culture of a business comes from the top, so when you’re a business leader you will need to recognize the importance of inclusivity and well-being and make it integral to what you do—anything less will put you at a competitive disadvantage. The Master in Management & Strategy prides itself on giving you the experience to foster a human working environment and reflect the power of positive leadership in everything you do.​
