Business today is international. Our organizations have stakeholders around the world. Also more and more countries are evolving into market economics. Business now operates in a world which is both turbulent and complex. IBS believes that managers of the future need to be thinking and working, both strategically and operationally across national and cultural boundaries.

IBS is committed to developing leaders capable of making business decisions in a complex global environment and who are dedicated to serving their companies, society and humanity. We will help the business leaders of the coming decades, deal creatively with a diverse work force, a global market place and a business environment characterized by rapid change.

Our vision of management education at IBS is based on innovative learning methodologies including constant improvement, cultivation of practical skills and an unwavering commitment to academic quality. We have developed a curriculum which is enriching and challenging by its diversity, where students learn to relate and function in new ways. At IBS, we believe that management is an integrative process that is neither defined by rigid functional areas nor bound by norms of past behavior. We also believe that management education must relate to the real world business environment and be able to contribute to and benefit from it. We want our students to understand in terms of whole system and organisms rather than the fragments. We want them to acquire a holistic approach which, when couples with inner merit, will transform them into leaders with vision, a deep sense of ethics and social responsibility.

OUR VISION

“Meritum Ethicus” – implying Merit with Ethics

ADVANTAGES OF THE CASE STUDY METHOD

CASE STUDY DEVELOPMENT AT IBS

Management case studies describe the situations faced by practicing managers in a narrative form, and also provide the supporting information necessary to involve students in the decision-making process. These case studies encourage students to think of the possible ways of handling such issues, and help them learn the complexities of decision-making in business and the challenges that managers face every day at work. Almost all the courses in the IBS program are designed around the case method. A few courses are even taught entirely through case studies, with cases tailor-made to the requirements of the subject areas. Student evaluation is based on individual team presentations, written reports and class participation. IBS has a huge repertoire of case studies in most of the functional areas in management.IBS has created dedicated research and content development centers for producing case studies and experience, these centers develop contemporary and thought-provoking case studies which provide great learning value to the students. Most of the case studies are also made available to global customers through the European Case Clearing House (ECCH)
