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

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.

Campus

ISTUD’s training centre is currently located in Baveno, on on the west shore of Lake Maggiore, an area of outstanding natural beauty. 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). 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.

The crisis of the Italian economy in the late 80's involved also ISTUD and some of the companies which founded the school and still held it, so in 1995 the 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 became Giovanni Bazoli, president of Banco Ambrosiano Veneto. This event triggered a series of deeper collaborations between the business school and the university which eventually will lead to a strong rivalry toward the SDA Bocconi School of Management.

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

Credits

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