About Insead, The Business School for the World
As one of the world's leading and largest graduate business schools, Insead brings together people, cultures and ideas from around the world to change lives and transform organisations. This worldly perspective and cultural diversity are reflected in all aspects of our research and teaching.

With three campuses in Asia (Singapore), in Europe (France) in the Middle East (Abu Dhabi), and an office in New York, Insead extends the reach of its business education and research across three continents. Our 145 renowned faculty members from 35 countries inspire more than 1,000 degree participants in our MBA, Executive MBA and PhD programmes. In addition, more than 9,500 executives participate in Insead's executive education programmes. With the Insead-Wharton Alliance, we deliver MBA and co-branded executive education programmes on Wharton's U.S. campuses in Philadelphia and San Francisco, as well as on our campuses in Asia and Europe.

This academic year is an important milestone for Insead as we celebrate half a century of success. Fifty years ago, Insead pioneered the concept of international business education - and we're still innovating across all of our programmes, not to mention our cutting-edge research. The world and Insead have developed dramatically in the course of the last fifty years, but the core values on which Insead were founded have remained constant. These principles have enabled Insead's entrepreneurial spirit to evolve and the school has grown into a truly global force.

Today's organisations need leaders with the knowledge and sensitivity to operate anywhere in the world. This is why business turns to Insead - to develop the next generation of transcultural leaders.
