ADDING VALUE THROUGH PURPOSE
Planet
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 the Master in Digital Business and Innovation. As part of your studies, We'll ground you in the key concepts that make Sustainable Business a reality, including the energy transition, regenerative business and how to incorporate sustainability into every area of an organization. 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.
Society
Bringing an entrepreneurial mindset 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 Digital Business and Innovation is about maximizing your potential—both as a business professional and as a person. Part of that means using the skills and strengths you acquire to make a difference to society at large. Graduates of IE Business School thrive under the pressure of a tight deadline or a challenging target; We'll help you use those traits to amplify the benefit you bring to the world around you.
People
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 key to 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 the leaders of tomorrow will need to recognize the importance of inclusivity and well-being and make it integral to what they do—anything less will put them at a competitive disadvantage. In the Master in Digital Business and Innovation, We'll mold you into a professional who creates working environments designed to get the best out of people and demonstrates the power of positive leadership in everything you do.​
