    IE University’s Bachelor in Business Administration and Dual Degree BBA and Law will have a section based in Madrid for the coming 2012-2013 academic year in addition to that of Segovia. The Madrid-based option is the latest addition to IE University’s business administration programs, which to date have been run exclusively at the University’s Segovia campus. Both sections will offer a degree program with a markedly international slant and a special focus on entrepreneurship, with the same faculty, program content, and extracurricular activities. 

The Bachelor in Business Administration, recently accredited by international management education accrediting agency AACSB, will be run in both English and Spanish in both Madrid and Segovia. It is an officially recognized degree program with 200 students from 52 countries who receive a solid education oriented to doing business in a global arena.

IE University will also run the dual degree in Business Administration and Law in Madrid. The dual title will enable future lawyers to manage firms, and entrepreneurs will acquire the legal skills needed for the smooth running of their business initatives.

BBA 2012 Conference Series: Eduardo Ley

Written on January 16, 2012 by Roberto Arribas in Business, Learning Activities, Lectures

The BBA Program at IE University cordially invites you to the first conference of the BBA 2012 Conference Series, where Eduardo Ley, lead economist at The World Bank will present a talk in English on our Segovia Campus about (Exclusive vs.) Inclusive Growth

(EXCLUSIVE vs.) INCLUSIVE GROWTH.  Eduardo Ley.  Lead Economist, The World Bank. 

Friday, January 20th, 12:45 – 14:15. Refectory Room, IE University, Segovia 

ABOUT THE EVENT 

What is inclusive growth? In development circles much emphasis is placed on shared growth or inclusive growth, but a precise definition is lacking…

While nobody defends exclusive growth, should we care about the shared part, or, is any growth good?  To defend it, the any-growth-good camp makes an analogy to “the tide that lifts all boats”…  

Moreover, given that income is very unequally shared (here, there and everywhere), is it realistic to expect that growth episodes are going to distribute dividends broadly?

What is the role of the public sector raising resources (let´s say through taxes) and appropriately investing in national wealth (natural, human, physical and social capital)?

We’ll discuss these and related issues and provide very few answers (if any). 

ABOUT THE SPEAKER 

Eduardo Ley is lead economist at the Economic Policy and Debt Department of The World Bank, where he works mostly on fiscal issues in developing countries.  Before joining the Bank in 2006, he served time at the IMF as senior economist in Macroeconomic Studies.  Previously he held research positions at FEDEA (Madrid) and Resources for the Future (Washington DC), and academic positions at the University of Michigan and the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.  He has published about thirty papers in refereed academic journals and books—spanning from environmental and fiscal issues to statistical methodology.  During 2006-09, he was the managing editor of the Spanish Economic Review, and has served in the editorial boards of several other journals, including the IMF Staff Papers for six years. To know more about his research and broad interests, visit http://eduley.org

Today, January 16, the eighth session of the 2011-2012 “The Appetizer” talk cycle took place, organized by IE School of Architecture at the Segovia campus. 

Manuel Pérez Romero gave a talk on “Gérmenes y arquitectura. O ¿de qué hablo cuando hablo del tiempo?” (Germs and architecture. Or, what am I talking about when I talk about the weather?). 

The event was organized by IE School of Architecture. “The Appetizer” are series that run for a second year and aim to bring students closer to the key forces that shape contemporary architecture. Recognized professionals and academics in the discipline will address specific issues that are near or tangent to the field of architecture. They use small presentations that are less formal and rigid than a normal conference. The lecture series is organized by the Associate Dean of External Relations at IE School of Architecture and executive director of the Pritzker Awards, Martha Thorne, and IE School of Architecture & Design academics, Julian García and Anna Mestre
