Another reason is the widely acknowledged prestige of Spain's business schools, whose programs are highly valued by companies with great presence in countries throughout the Americas. A third factor, just as important, is how easily these students manage to adapt to the Spanish social environment, something based not only on the fact that they are able to speak the same language, but also on aspects such as the type of society, common cultural roots and weather. The Asociacion Espanola de Escuelas de Direccion de Empresas (AEEDE, or Spanish Association of Schools of Business Administration) was founded in 1989 by some of the most established business schools in Spain. It is the Spanish representative of EQUAL (European Quality Link), an umbrella organization
An umbrella organization is an association of (often related, industry-specific) institutions, who work together formally to coordinate activities or for accrediting associations of business administration and management schools throughout Europe. Its goal is to promote and respond to the growing corporate demand for quality and service in the education of business leaders.

"Latin American students who come here have the advantage of experiencing the European system, which has certain unique characteristics as compared to the American system The term American System can mean one of the following:

In the U.S. the University of Wisconsin was the first academic institution to offer such programs (1904). ) of the Universidad Pontificia Comillas in Madrid. Question: How good is the quality of the graduate degrees offered in Spain? Answer: The Spanish educational system is one of the best in Europe, if not the best. And, of course, we have a long tradition in graduate degrees, which started in the 1970s, when MBAs were already being offered. This type of education has developed greatly since, and nowadays, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2.

See compiler. this type of data, there are almost 300 of these schools in Spain, which shows that there is a market and things are being done well. Q: How varied is the educational scene to absorb these 300 centers? A: Logically, any market has large and small companies, and exactly the same thing happens in our sector with a particular characteristic: Some institutions are part of a university and others are not. So there are schools that are not affiliated with a university and are first-rate schools, and then there are universities that offer graduate degrees directly. Q: When it comes to Latin American students, what are the advantages offered by Spanish business schools, as opposed to those in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America.

A: The setup See BIOS setup and install program. of Spanish business schools is interesting when it comes to Latin America Latin America, the Spanish-speaking, Portuguese-speaking, and French-speaking countries (except Canada) of North America, South America, Central America, and the West Indies. because it provides a European perspective of business administration and management in a high-quality educational atmosphere that also makes them feel at ease, given their language skills. For instance, Mexico has a good educational level, but when it comes to graduate degrees and management techniques, it's probably very similar to the American model. That is why students who come here have an advantage when they become familiar with the European system, which has certain unique characteristics as compared to the American one. This can be useful to them in the future when they do business in different countries and environments. Q: Do Latin American students adapt better in Spain than in any other European country? A: Of course. There are common historical roots and Spain's customs, work and lifestyle definitely help Latin American students feel comfortable here. One thing we notice is the way in which these students fit into the environment once they arrive. In fact, they're the ones that promote most initiatives, from the cultural and leisure standpoint The Standpoint is a newspaper published in the British Virgin Islands. It was originally published under the name Pennysaver, largely as a shopping-coupon promotional newspaper, but since emerged as one of the most influential sources of journalism in the , to the point that they become the driving forces of this type of thing.

A pearl having exceptional luster. 3. in any way toward these students? A: Latin American students tend to take very general programs, such as MBAs, or a specific subject, such as marketing or logistics, but always with international applications. For instance, within the MBAs, we deal with general business administration techniques and there's nothing that cannot be applied in their native countries. We must keep in mind that these programs bring together students from different European, American and Asian countries Noun 1. Asian country - any one of the nations occupying the Asian continent Asian nation country, land, state - the territory occupied by a nation; "he returned to the land of his birth"; "he visited several European countries" ... That's why we're interested in offering standard European programs. Q: What plans do students from Latin America who go to Spain tend to have? To what degree do they hope to remain in Europe to work? A: Normally, once the master's or graduate studies are over, students return to their native countries. No more than 10% stay behind, and they tend to remain here because of some type of family or personal relationship. Few come with the idea of staying in Spain. Most come looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment.

CHOSING AN MBA ACROSS THE ATLANTIC ATLANTIC Cardiology A clinical trial–Angina Treatments–Lasers And Normal Therapies In Comparison If a professional career, like life itself, is a path set by the different decisions we must take given the different choices we're faced with, the selection of the type of education on which our professional life is based and the place we'll get it, without a doubt, is one of the most transcendental crossways along the way. That's a good way to describe the point at which a current or future business administration professional decides to join an MBA program overseas. Broadly speaking Adv. 1. broadly speaking - without regard to specific details or exceptions; "he interprets the law broadly" broadly, generally, loosely , Latin American students face two main alternatives, two destinations with pros and cons pros and cons Noun, pl the advantages and disadvantages of a situation [Latin pro for + con(tra) against] to be carefully considered: Europe or the United States. Within the Old Continent, Spain is one of the most attractive options. "The main advantage in the selection of Spain when it comes to choosing an MBA program is somewhat related to the cultural coherence coherence, constant phase difference in two or more Waves over time. Two waves are said to be in phase if their crests and troughs meet at the same place at the same time, and the waves are out of phase if the crests of one meet the troughs of another. ," explained Salvador Aragon, a professor at the Instituto de Empresa (IE). "These students come in contact with the European culture without abandoning the Latin one altogether. That is why the transition goes so smoothly. Jose Antonio Puente, president of the Institute for Executive Development (IEDE IEDE Institute for Executive Development (Spain) ), agrees with Aragon in qualifying the European MBA experience for Latin American students as "very special"--something that gives it a clear advantage over studying in the United States. This is particularly true when it comes to Spain for the obvious reasons of cultural and linguistic similarities. Spain, in addition to being a very strong worldwide protagonist with its academic business administration offerings, is a very active member of the European Union European Union (EU), name given since the ratification (Nov., 1993) of the Treaty of European Union, or Maastricht Treaty, to the European Community , which offers a social atmosphere, diversity and solidarity that differs from the American model, which is individualistic in·di·vid·u·al·ist n. 1.

Although sharing a language and cultural roots represents a remarkable plus for Latin American students when it comes to opting for Spain, it isn't the only or most important reason for it, explained Alberto Arribas, MBA admissions director at the IESE IESE Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE Instituto de Estudios Superiores de La Empresa (Spanish business school) IESE Institute of Environmental Science and Engineering Business School. "Aside from the geographical factor, candidates value picking a school according to its international stature stature /sta·ture/ (stach´ur) the height or tallness of a person standing.stat´ural stat·ure n.

Another reason why getting a graduate degree from a Spanish college is so attractive to them is its useful applications to doing business with Latin American countries List of American countries Nations:

Noun 1. obtained in their country when they recruit professionals in that area," said Simon Reyes, general director of the Escuela Superior de Gestion Comercial y Marketing (ESIC ESIC Earth Science Information Center ESIC Enterprise Social Investment Corporation (Enterprise Foundation, Columbia, MD) ESIC Electronic Sports Information Centre ). Jaume Hugas, director of MBA programs at ESADE ESADE Escuela Superior de Administración y Dirección de Empresas (Spanish business school) , is of the same opinion: "To Latin American countries, Spain is the doorway to Europe, and getting an MBA here is learning how to do business in Europe. The strong business relationship between Spain and Latin America is another advantage, since companies value a European education European Education: Issues and Studies is a quarterly journal of education. Established in 1969, it presents contemporary issues and studies in European education. The journal includes articles on education policy, theory and practice.

Academic focus In academic terms, Spanish business school leaders emphasize the importance of the diversity of the student body as one of the fundamental aspects derived from the programs' international and open character. Guillermo Cardoza, director of the IE's Centro Euro-Latinoamericano, says, "One of the positive factors for Spain is how multicultural mul·ti·cul·tur·al adj. 1. Of, relating to, or including several cultures. 2. Of or relating to a social or educational theory that encourages interest in many cultures within a society rather than in only a mainstream culture. and international are the programs here.

Globalization globalization Process by which the experience of everyday life, marked by the diffusion of commodities and ideas, is becoming standardized around the world. Factors that have contributed to globalization include increasingly sophisticated communications and transportation is a drive for change, agrees Angel Parada, general director of Gisbert, an advertising agency with important worldwide ties to J Walter Thompson Walter Thompson refers to:
Several of the world's oldest universities are located in Spain or were founded by Spanish scholars across the world at the time of the Spanish Empire. and business schools, both, get more clients who come from different countries outside of Spain.

That is why turnover is so high in graduate schools, because professionals try to complete. their degrees in other countries. In that sense, Latin America represents a natural market for Spain." Jose Antonio Puente, IEDE's director, said that one of the basic factors of this pull by Spanish programs is offering "an accelerated and practical MBA model that is packed into a year. It's a model that world-renowned schools have handled for a long time." Origins Which Latin American countries have a greater presence in Spanish business schools? Alberto Arribas, MBA admissions director at IESE, said most students come from Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Brazil, in that order. "We must point out that the admission process is very rigorous, since those 25 students are the survivors of more than 330 candidates from those countries." Jaume Hugas, director of MBA programs at ESADE, said that at the fulltime MBA program offered at that school "about 30% of students come from Latin America." Arribas described the ideal candidate: "We want diversity, professional and college experience and (people) from different social environments. Each country provides its own cultural experiences and characteristics -- something that is very beneficial to the master's when it comes to discussing case studies." Finally, it's important to emphasize that all sources considered the quality of the education itself when assessing the usefulness of a Spanish program. "There are several reasons why a Latin American student selects Spain, and particularly IE, to get an MBA, but we must highlight, above all, the extremely high quality of the institute's programs, which is recognized by the main international rankings Country specific See: Economic

Among the usual ties are membership in the same general community, common customs, culture, tradition, history, and language. . However, the value of the MBA increases if it was obtained from a prestigious institution. And, in that sense, Spanish business schools have a growing reputation worldwide. In fact, some of them are among the best in the world, according to well-known rankings. If we also consider that Latin American professionals and students find here a cultural affinity that makes their stay more livable liv·a·ble also live·a·ble adj. 1.

DE UN MBA EN LA VIEJA EUROPA La presencia de alumnos latinoamericanos en los programas MBA que se imparten en las escuelas de negocio espanolas ha crecido notablemente en los ultimos anos. Asi, de una presencia meramente testimonial hace una decada se ha pasado a un porcentaje medio del 10% respecto al alumnado total de las escuelas, alcanzandose en algunos casas hasta el 40%. Este aumento del interes de estudiantes y profesionales de Latinoamerica por los programas impartidos en Espana obedece, por un lado, a su deseo por adquirir un conocimiento del onfoque europeo de la gestion y direccion empresarial, que en contraste con el estadounidense presenta coma coma, in medicine coma, in medicine, deep state of unconsciousness from which a person cannot be aroused even by painful stimuli.

Un tercer factor no menos importante lo constituye la facilidad de adaptacion de estos alumnos al entorna social espanol, una circunstancia que no solo responde al hecho de compartir idioma, sino a aspectos tan importantes como el caracter de la sociedad, las raices culturales comunes o las condiciones climaticas. La Asociacion Espanola de Escuelas de Direccion de Empresas (AEEDE) fue fundada en 1989 por algunas de las escuelas de direccion de mas arraigo en Espana, y es el representante espanol en EQUAL (European Quality Link), organizacion que aglutina a las asociaciones que en cada pais europeo acreditan escuelas de direccion y administracion de empresas.

Asimismo examina la situacion del entorno a fin de ayudar a sus miembros a adaptarse a las nuevas condiciones y retos, proporcionandoles servicios comunes que faciliten su trabajo y cooperacion mutua. Para Cecilia Moral, presidente de la AEEDE y director del Instituto de Postgrado y Formacion Continua de la Universidad Pontificia Comillas de Madrid, "los alumnos latinoamericanos que vienen aqui cuentan con la ventaja de entrar en contacto con el sistema europeo, que tiene ciertas singularidades con respecto al estadounidense, y esto les puede servir a ellos en el futuro para hacer negocios en distintos paises y entornos". ?Cual es el nivel de los postgrados que se imparten en Espana?

En este sentido hay escuelas que no estan vinculadas a universidades y que son escuelas do primerisima categaria, y luego hay universidades que directamente se dedican a impartir formacion de postgrado. De cara al alumno latinoamericano, ?cuales son las ventajas que ofrece una escuela de negocios espanola raspecto a una estadounidense o de otro pais europeo? El esquema de las escuelas de postgrado en Espana es interesante de cara a Latinoamerica porque facilita una vision europea de la gestion empresarial y de la direcion en un ambiente de alto nivel de formacion que, por otra parte, resulta comodo por la facilidad del idioma.

De hecho, son los que mas iniciativas promueven desde el punto de vista cultural y de ocio, hasta el extremo de que se convierten en los motores de este tipo de casas. ?Existe alguna orientacion en favor de estos alumnos del enfoque academico de los programas? Los alumnos latinoamericanos suelen cursar aqui programas muy generalistas, como los MBA; o algun tema especifico, como Marketing o Logistica, pero siempre con aplicacion internacional. Por ejemplo, en los MBA se trabaja con tecnicas generales de direccion de empresas donde no hay nada que luega no pueda ser aplicado en sus paises de origen. Hay que tener en cuenta que en los programas conviven alumnos procedentes de distintos paises europeos, americanos, asiaticos... Por eso lo que nos interesa a nosotros es impartir los pragramas estandar europeos. ?Con que perspectivas suelan venir a Espana los astudiantes procedantes de Latinoamerica? "En que medida aspiran a quadarse a trabajar an Europa? Lo normal es que, finalizado el master o postgrado, los alumnos vuelvan a sus paises de origen. Los que se quedan no pasan del diez por cienta, y ademas suelen permanecer aqui porque han establecido algun tipo de vinculo familiar o afectivo. Hay pocos que vengan con la idea de quedarse en Espana. La mayoria viene en busca de una formacion de prestigio aplicable en su pais.

Jose Antonio Puente, presidente del Institute for Executive Depelopment (IEDE), coincide con Aragon a la hora de calificar coma "muy especial es·pe·cial adj. 1. Of special importance or significance; exceptional: an occasion of especial joy. 2. " la experiencia de estudiar un MBA en Europa para un alumna latinoamericano, alga que "le reporta una clara ventaja respecto a estudiarlo en Estados Unidos. Esto es especialmente verdad en el caso de Espana por razones obvias de afinidad cultural y linguistica. Espana, ademas de ser un muy buen jugadar a nivel mundial en la oferta de formacion en administracion y direccion de empresas, es hoy un miembro muy activo de la Union Europea, con todo lo que eso tiene de modelo social y salidario, de diversidad, frente al modelo estadounidense, individualista, mas cerrado y no siempre solidario". Sin embargo embargo (ĕmbär`gō), prohibition by a country of the departure of ships or certain types of goods from its ports. Instances of confining all domestic ships to port are rare, and the Embargo Act of 1807 is the sole example of this in , y si bien el hecho de compartir idioma y raices culturales supone una notable ventaja para los alumnas latinoamericanos a la hora de decantarse por Espana, no es esta la unica a mas importante razon para ello, como explica Alberto Arribas, director de Admision del MBA de la IESE Business School: "Antes an·te n. 1.

See Synonyms at bet. 2. que el criterio geografico los candidatos valoran Ia seleccion de escuelas en funcion de su prestigio internacional. Los alumnos que vienen a Europa lo hacen porque buscan una carrera internacional, frente a los MBA estadounidenses, que estan dirigidos al mercado norteamericano". Otro de los pilares del atractivo de cursar un postgrado en una escuela espanola se asienta sobre la utilidad de su aplicacion en los paises del ambito latinoamericano a la hora de hacer negocios con y en las empresas espanolas. "Espana y Europa tienen hoy un gran interese y presencia en esa parte del mundo, de ahi la gran ventaja que para el alumno latinoamericano supone captar el estilo y la manera de trabajar de las companias espanolas, que por su parte reconocen y valoran un master realizado en su pais a la hora de reclutar profesionales en ese area", reflexiona Simon Reyes, director general de la Escuela Superior de Gestion Comercial y Marketing (ESIC). Jaume Hugas, director de los programas MBA de ESADE, ratifica esta opinion: "Para los paises latinoamericanos, Espana es la puerta de Europa The Puerta de Europa towers (Gate of Europe or Europe's Gate or just Torres KIO) are two twin office buildings in Madrid. They were commissioned in 1996 by the Kuwait Investments Office (hence their initial name "Torres KIO y realizar un MBA aqui es aprender la manera de hacer negocios en Europa. Los fuertes vinculos empresariales entre Espana y Latinoamerica son otro punto a favor, ya que las empresas valoran una formacion europea para poder comprender mejor las diferencias culturales existentes entre los dos continentes". Enfoque academico En el capitulo estrictamente academico los responsables de las escuelas de negocios espanolas destacan la importancia de la diversidad del alumnado como uno de los aspectos fundamentales que confiere ese caracter international y abierto a los programas. En este sentido, Guillermo Cardoza, director del Centro Euro-Latinoamericano del IE, considera que "uno de los factores a favor de Espana es el grado de multiculturalidad e internacionalizacion de los programas que se imparten aqui. Por ejemplo, en el International MBA del IE, que se imparte en ingles This article is about an American supermarket chain. For a town in Gran Canaria, see Playa del Inglés. Ingles (NYSE: IMKTA) is a regional supermarket chain based in Asheville, North Carolina, where Robert "Bob" Ingle opened the first store in Asheville, NC in , el 75% de los estudiantes son extranjeros, y gran parte de ellos de America Latina, muchos europeos, algunos asiaticos y un numero creciente de estadounidenses. Una circunstancia que le da ciertamente un atractivo anadido a un programa concebido para formar directivos que actuen en companias multinacionales de caracter global". Un punto de vista, el de la globalizacion, como motor de intercambio, con el que coincide Angel Parada, director general de Gisbert, agencia de publicidad que mantiene una alianza de comunicacion a nivel mundial con Walter Thompson en el ambito educativo: "Hemos percibido que tanto Tanto may refer to several things.

Por su parte, Jose Antonio Puente, director del IEDE, establece otro de los factores fundamentales de este tiron de los programas espanoles en la imparticion de "un modelo de MBA acelerado y practico, comprimido en un ano. Es un modelo que manejan hace mucho tiempo escuelas de gran reputacion mundial". Procedencia ?Cuales son los paises latinoamericanos que en mayor medida nutren las escuelas de negocios espanolas? Alberto Arribas, director de Admision del MBA del IESE, destaca, por este orden, "Mexico, Argentina, Chile y Brasil. Hay que decir, en este sentido que el proceso de admision es muy riguroso, ya que los 25 alumnos latinoamericanos que estudian con nosotros son los supervivientes de mas de 330 candidatos de esos paises". Por su parte, Jaume Hugas, director de los programas MBA de ESADE destaca que en el programa Full Time MBA que imparte esta escuela "aproximadamente un 30% de los estudiantes proviene de America Latina". En cuanto al perfil buscado Arribas define al candidato idoneo: "Queremos diversidad, experiencia profesional, universitana y de otros ambitos sociales. Cada pais aporta su propia experiencia y peculiaridades culturales, un aspecto que da luego mucho juego al master a la hora de plantearia discusion de los casos". Por ultimo ul·ti·mo adv. Abbr. ult.

"Hay varias razones por las cuales un estudiante latinoamericano escoge Espana, y en particular el IE, para hacer un MBA, pero de todas ellas hay que destacar la altisima calidad que tienen los programas del Instituto, reconocida por parte de los principales rankings internacionales", comenta Guillermo Cardoza. Una consideracion que confirma Maria Bejumea, directora de la firma consultora espanola especializada en informaicon academica y laboral Circulo de Progreso: "La valoracion de los MBA aumenta si se cursan en un centro de reconocido prestigio.
