Thought Leadership

IMD is pioneering a new approach to business research. The need for impact, relevance, and application is leading the school to focus research activity away from the traditional methods of most business schools.

IMD’s distinctive way of learning requires a particular set of skills, typically found in more experienced professors. The school’s reputation depends upon its ability to continue attracting and retaining the best professors. To remain the learning partner of choice for top corporations worldwide and the best option for developing global leaders, IMD’s Faculty should grow by 20% in the next five years, from 50 to 60 members.

Funding new learning centers, research chairs, labs, professorships, and fellowships will help to attract and retain a world-class Faculty and produce cutting-edge business knowledge.
