ISTUD (acronym for the Italian "Istituto Studi Direzionali" or Institute of Management Studies) is one of Italy's most important business schools[1] that specializes in executive education, advanced lifelong learning, and management research. Its campus is located in Baveno, Piedmont.[2]

Academic offers include a Master's degree in Human Resources programme, a Master in Marketing Management programme, a Master in Green Management programme, and several executive education programmes. ISTUD is also an international center for research on topics relating to innovation, management, organisational change and socio-economic development.[3]

Campus

ISTUD’s training centre is currently located in Baveno, on on the west shore of Lake Maggiore, an area of outstanding natural beauty[4]. It encloses a garden for outdoor activities and role play activities which are part of the lifelong learning method. ISTUD's students are housed in a residence near the school.

History

The school was founded in 1970 through the initiative of Confindustria and a group of large Italian and multinational companies (among them Olivetti, Pirelli, and IBM).[5] The first faculty was composed by professors from Harvard University as well as Italian professors, some of whom flew from Boston to Italy to teach the first classes.[6] In 1995 the ISTUD board approved the aquisition of 51% of the shares by Istituto Giuseppe Toniolo di Studi Superiori, already owner of the prestigious Catholic University of Milan. Chairman becomes Giovanni Bazoli, president of Banco Ambrosiano Veneto. This event triggers a series of deeper collaborations between the business school and the university which will lead to a strong rivalry toward the SDA Bocconi School of Management.[7]

ISTUD business school has been attended by more than 55,000 managers and managerial staff, as well as more than 2,400 graduates[8].

Credits

ISTUD is a member of several international networks, including the European Foundation for Management Development[9], the European Academy of Business in Society[10], and is also a partner of the European Doctoral Programmes Association in Management and Business Administration.[11]
