Academic environment
IMD has 60 faculty members with expertise on topics of management, leadership, accounting, economics, finance, operations, marketing, organizational behavior, strategy and entrepreneurship, innovation and more. IMD does not have departments by specializations or subject areas, nor a tenure system. There is just one rank of faculty (“Professor”). IMD professors create inspiring learning environments with and for senior executives by building on their scholarly knowledge, practical understanding of management, using executive level pedagogy and continuous innovation in the design of teaching materials and programs. IMD professors are strong team players committed to embodying IMD’s vision, mission and organizational values. As an academic institution, IMD’s proximity to the world of business and its experience of and focus on hands-on executive development and organizational transformation provides a deeply valuable resource for its research activities. IMD professors are committed to conducting rigorous, relevant, insightful and actionable research which leads to publications in top refereed and practitioner journals.
In 2021, Rio Tinto and IMD established The Rio Tinto Chair in Stakeholder Engagement. Professor David Bach was named as the inaugural chair holder. The Chair has become vacant upon Bach’s assumption of the IMD presidency in September 2024. The Chair aims to equip business leaders with the knowledge and skills needed to engage with a diverse set of stakeholders as they drive positive change for society and the planet. The donor does not set the Chair’s research agenda and the Chairholder enjoys the same academic freedom as all IMD professors.
The Rio Tinto Chair is a key pillar of IMD’s broader sustainability initiative. Sustainability has become central to IMD with (i) more faculty focused on sustainability, (ii) more research output, and (iii) more clients engaging with us around sustainable business transformation.
The Rio Tinto Chair forms part of the IMD Center for Sustainable and Inclusive Business, which partners with sustainability leaders to research and share innovative best practices that harness opportunities and mitigate risks. Its programs and research provide the insights needed for a complete business transformation journey through the lens of sustainability that will futureproof organizations, contribute to high performance, and benefit society.
The Center brings together a world-class team of faculty and researchers to meet the learning needs of businesses seeking sustainable transformation. With varying expertise in finance, strategy, political economy, marketing, entrepreneurship, ESG, organizational behavior, leadership, social innovation and digital strategy and ethics, IMD is well positioned to deliver a high impact programs and relevant research.
