Introduction

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 transformative impact on our Alumni, spread across 5 continents, makes AESE a unique business school: a school for Leaders who want to reach higher learning, leaving their mark and transforming the world.

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.

Some of the executive programs the school has to offer

GOS

Social institutions each have their own very specific mission, a fact that was the driving force behind the creation of a management programme adapted to this reality, in terms of both the themes covered and the study materials employed.

The third sector, responsible for 4% of Portugal’s GDP and involving 25% of the citizens of Europe, depends in many cases on the coordination of goodwill. For identical positions, wages in the social sector are much lower than in the public or private sectors. GOS – Management of Social Organizations, is the result of a partnership that AESE and ENTRAJUDA established in order to provide management training to the leaders of social institutions. Participants see the GOS as an opportunity to reflect upon the efficient use of the scarce resources that institutions have at their disposal, to develop a strategy more tailored to their objectives and to motivate the personnel of the institution. GOS, a Further Education Programme designed for Leaders of Social Economy Institutions (Social Solidarity Institutions, NGOs, Charities and other non-profit organisations), was created to assist with the management and optimisation of these scarce resources.

Length: 10 weeks, in Lisbon, Monday afternoons.
