The International Institute for Management Development (IMD) is a leading independent business school based in Lausanne, Switzerland. It was created in 1990 through the merger of two earlier Swiss management institutes, IMEDE in Lausanne and IMI in Geneva, and focuses on MBA, Executive MBA, and open and custom executive education rather than traditional undergraduate degrees. IMD is known for a highly international classroom, strong corporate partnerships, and programs centered on leadership, strategy, and real-world business challenges. Its lakeside Lausanne campus serves as the main hub for degree programs and executive learning, and the school is regularly ranked among the world’s top institutions for executive education and MBA offerings.
