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:
“Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
