The HBS-IESE Committee held its 34th Meeting on June 17 Satisfaction and gratitude In 1963, three Harvard Business School professors and three IESE professors held the first ever meeting of the HBS-IESE Committee. This initiative has since gone from strength to strength. The meeting of the HBS-IESE Committee served to compare management education approaches in the US and Europe

	The idea of creating a joint Committee came about in 1963 when IESE decided to launch the MBA program. Then as now, Harvard and its MBA were top of the list. &laqno;The idea was to create a committee so Harvard professors could give IESE professors the benefit of their experience and knowledge», Carlos Cavallé, Dean of IESE, recalls. One year later in 1964, IESE became the first European business school to offer a 2-year, full-time MBA. Over the years, the role of the HBS-IESE Committee has grown beyond its original purpose to help IESE in all aspects relating to the management of a business school. One of the Committee's most important functions is to facilitate institutional and personal links between the two schools' professors and exchange of professors. &laqno;I can only say with great satisfaction and gratitude, says Carlos Cavallé, that this joint Committee has performed superbly over the last 34 years and has always achieved its goals.» The Advisory Committee's current line-up is William E. Fruham, John Gabarro and Earl Sasser for HBS, and Eduard Ballarín, Jordi Canals, Carlos Cavallé and Pedro Nueno for IESE.	escudo iese  escudo hbs
