Hi all,
I've been accepted and am trying to decide between INSEAD, IE, and ESADE. I am looking for a programme that has strengths in entrepreneurship and general business management/strategic development of a company. Also which is best for networking/alumni contacts?

thanks

I have generally heard that IE is good for entrepreneurship... unlike the others, IE actually mentions entrepreneurship training on their Web site. Although, I haven't investigated much... hopefully someone else will have a better answer!

From Wikipedia on IE:

IE runs the ICEVED-International Center for Entrepreneurship and Ventures Development (http://www.iceved.com), a portal for member schools, investors and entrepreneurs.
IE is the Spanish arm of the GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor) Report, which studies the relationship between levels of innovation, the creation of new businesses and economic growth worldwide.
The School's Venture-Lab (V-lab) is a support framework for students? business projects.
Business plan development is a core component of all master degree programs.
25% of IE MBA graduates set up their own companies.

A quick scan of the Wiki article on INSEAD also shows that they seem to be pretty big on entrepreneurship. I had not looked into their program because I am only considering programs in Spain.

Anyway, good luck!
