The program consists of seven blocks:

Latin America Economic Outlook surveys current economic trends in this major region and highlights repercussions for Latin America-operating enterprises;
§ European Union introduces participants to the institutions of the European Union and the economic implications of the “European project” in Europe and beyond;

Going Global provides an integrative vision as it explores the full implications of internationalisation from a market, strategy and organisational perspective, as illustrated by the experience of Spanish multinationals in Latin America;

Corporate Entrepreneurship provides a forum for the in-depth examination of mindsets, methods, and managerial activities that follow the corporate entrepreneurial process from opportunity recognition to growing ventures.

Business, Government & Society focuses on the nonmarket forces that increasingly shape the business environment of globally-operating companies and introduces participants to the process of nonmarket strategy formulation and implementation;

Value Creation and Strategic Change highlights the most recent thinking about how firms create and capture value and pays particular attention to the strategic drivers and challenges of internationalization;

National Champions in Global Markets, finally, enables participants to obtain important insights into the drivers and dynamics of contemporary European industrial policy in an age of market globalization and to explore strategies for managing in high stakes political settings. This track will also provide an opportunity to contemplate more broadly the evolving relationship of state and market and its implications for both business and government in the context of the current financial crisis.

The program combines sessions led by IE Business School Faculty with several company visits designed to enable participants to gain first-hand experience of issues covered in the program
