Research projects
The Foundation makes grants to specific research projects, in line with its commitment to support research related to management, economics, sociology, psychology and other disciplines in so far as they relate to business and management development.
At the moment the Foundation is focused in helping three initiatives:
- Intent HQ Chair on Changing Consumer Behavior
- Institute for Sustainability Leadership
- Center for Internacional Finance (CIF)
Intent HQ Chair on Changing Consumer Behavior
The Intent HQ Chair on Changing Consumer Behavior
is created with the goal of becoming a global leader in research related to the latest trends in consumer behavior around the world.
The Chair’s research will inform outreach activities, focused on bringing practical capacities of executives and managers up to date, in order to meet the demands of current and future consumers.
This is IESE’s first chair dedicated to marketing and has been made possible thanks to the support of the British company Intent HQ.
Jonathan Lakin, Founder and CEO of Intent HQ,
sponsors IESE’s Chair on Changing Consumer Behavior, currently held by marketing professor José Luis Nueno.
“Companies that design for difference win every time”
Institute for Sustainability Leadership
We believe that a more enlightened form of capitalism, also known as ‘stakeholder capitalism’, is not only possible but is already happening across the global economy. Sustainability is already changing dominant business models, and IESE recognizes that business schools play a fundamental role in developing leaders who take an active role in helping us to achieve a more prosperous and equitable society.
Center for International Finance (CIF)
We are an interdisciplinary research center focused on the financial sector and its impact on the global economy. Since our founding in 1992, we have worked to contribute to best business practices in the field of finance and economics.
Through the Citi-IESE CREDET initiative, our goal is to explore the trends in credit and debt markets, enhancing understanding and highlighting the risks and opportunities within these markets. The project forms part of IESE’s Center for International Finance (CIF), which advocates a multidisciplinary approach to generate and disseminate knowledge and promotes best practices in financial institutions and capital markets. To this end, it spearheads leading-edge research, academic events and conferences, and communication platforms to bring the Center’s findings to a wider audience.
In an era marked by swift and transformative changes in credit and debt markets, it is imperative for market participants to navigate the emerging challenges and opportunities effectively. The Citi-IESE Credit and Debt Markets Research Project (CREDET) is dedicated to advancing research on these markets.
