Organization
See also: Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher EducationThe 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:
“... every woman’s organization recognizes that reformers are far more common than feminists, that the passion to look after your fellow man, and especially woman, to do good to her in your way is far more common than the desire to put into every one’s hand the power to look after themselves.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“Politics, as a practise, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)
