Organization

See also: Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education

The EGADE Business School is affiliated to the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (ITESM), one of the largest private, coeducational and secular universities in Latin America. The Institute itself is part of the Monterrey Institute of Technology System, an umbrella organization of non-profit and research-oriented institutions ranging from education to health services.

Inside the Institute’s organizational structure, the school is attached to a national rectorate for postgraduate schools currently chaired by Lourdes Dieck, a former ambassador of Mexico to the European Union. Its operations and long-term vision are overseen by a board of trustees, currently chaired by Carlos Salazar Lomelín, CEO of FEMSA; the largest public bottler of Coca-Cola products in the world in terms of sales volume. The board is staffed by Latin American businesspeople and politicians, such as Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, former prime minister of Peru, and Paulo Renato Souza, former minister of Education of Brazil.

Since 2011 the school is divided in four sites serving two large metropolitan areas: one in Monterrey —where the flagship school and rectorate is located, in the suburb of San Pedro Garza García— and three in Mexico City, serving its financial district (Santa Fe), the southern borough of Tlalpan and an industrial hub formed by Naucalpan, Tlanepantla and Vallejo (State of Mexico).

Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    “Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life.”
    —Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)

    “To fight oppression, and to work as best we can for a sane organization of society, we do not have to abandon the state of mind of freedom. If we do that we are letting the same thuggery in by the back door that we are fighting off in front of the house.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “Science, unguided by a higher abstract principle, freely hands over its secrets to a vastly developed and commercially inspired technology, and the latter, even less restrained by a supreme culture saving principle, with the means of science creates all the instruments of power demanded from it by the organization of Might.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
