Welcome to AESE Business School. Founded in 1980, AESE was the first School of Business and Management in Portugal. We have been dedicated to the training and improvement of business leaders, with a Humanistic perspective of Mankind and Society, for over four decades. The recognition our school enjoys within the business world is the result of the four essential principles that guide all of AESE’s activities:

• A culture of Higher Learning, involving the Alumni community, participants, teachers, employees, companies, schools and institutions the School is in constant contact with;
• Solid knowledge that is deeply rooted in business reality, along with a Management and Leadership perspective that is laced with a critical, rigorous and holistic approach to the current issues and challenges in business and society;
• A far-reaching presence in the world, enhanced by the diversity of the School’s community, the rich content of its activities and a close proximity to international institutions such as the IESE Business School;
• Strong, ethical and humanistic values, coupled with a persistent effort to practice and share them

Case Method - The art of managing the uncertainty

In contrast to lecture-based teaching methods, with the case Method the participants do most of the talking. the teacher facilitates and guides the discussion within a theoretical framework, asking questions and encouraging the participation of the whole class to enrich the discussion with contrasting points of view, different experiences and cultural backgrounds.
Whether analysing the challenges faced by a construction company, an amusement park, a ceramic manufacturer or an airline in difficulty, the case method asks the participant to put him or herself in the place of the manager: How can i increase sales in a negative cycle? How can the company improve its results in a new competitive environment? What incentive policies will work in a fast-moving industry?

1. Read the case on your own, reflecting on the main issues: What is the biggest problem? What are the alternative options for action? What would you do if you were the manager in question?
2. Before class, participants meet in small working groups to discuss and compare their analysis and contrasting points of view.
3. The discussion is then taken to the classroom context, with the teacher facilitating and conduct- ing a more comprehensive discussion of the case. together in a plenary session, the issues raised in the case are analysed and the different courses of action are evaluated with conclusions and learning frameworks.

The case may be recent or a dilemma faced by a company two decades ago. However, the issues highlighted in each case are relevant and universal.
As far as an AESE professor is concerned, rich, engaging discussions and debates are the backbone of leadership development. That is why case studies, team-based projects and business simulations are intensely used throughout our Executive MBA: they dynamically combine diverse learning methodologies to spark these vital interactions.
Mentoring A personal mentor will offer continuous feedback and career advice throughout the programme to ensure you get the most out of the experience and reach your fullest potential.
Business Simulations You will take your key knowledge to a new level and advance your executive skills in a test environment, complete with time constraints and opposing power sources.
Team-Based Projects Teamwork will provide an authentic forum for exchanging and contrasting knowledge among peers and bolster your ability to align different perspectives.
Professional and Personal Development All participants in the AESE Executive MBA are assigned two members of faculty – a mentor and a coach – who accompany, encourage and help each participant in pedagogical, professional and personal terms.
Peer-To-Peer Learning The AESE Executive MBA gathers successful managers from an array of industries, companies and professional profiles. The cohort’s diversity will enrich your professional network and open your eyes to new perspectives and practices outside your corporate sphere.

The Company and the School have undertaken to develop the 1st Corporate Chair – Ethics in the Company and in Society, through which they can, on the one hand, consolidate the information provided in classes taught in the School on this subject and, on the other hand, offer advanced training on ethics to the Company’s workforce. (on the AESE/EDP Agreement).
The Chair is an institutional initiative, within an academic field, related to the development of an area of study. It consists of a research, teaching and dissemination programme led and developed by an AESE professor in order to perfect knowledge on a particular subject matter.
"Several years after the creation of the AESE-EDP Chair in Ethics in the Company and in Society, we can now assess, with a certain distance (historic acceleration has compressed all timeframes), the great rewards that it has brought and the prospects that are opening up. It is not just the research that it has made possible, the seminars that it has enabled us to organize, with foreign visiting lecturers who are leaders in this field, but, above all, the existence of a team dedicated to developing a theme that is at the heart of both AESE and EDP and is so crucial to organizations. EDP has rightly gained international recognition for its long track record in this field, including the successive implementation of the most highly recommended best practices. A commitment to ethical leadership, with best practices and with social and environmental responsibility, will be the hallmark of large organizations in the future, for which they will be judged, in addition to the results they obtain."
