"The IEDC is a success story in a country which is a success story. IEDC's participants are taught by a faculty which is unparalleled. Coming from management schools such as IMD, INSEAD, Harvard, MIT, Darden, and teaming up with local Slovene professionals, there is a unique combination of local and global perspectives."

“Slovenia’s IEDC Widens Leaders’ Perspectives”
Wall Street Journal Europe
Founded in 1986, IEDC-Bled School of Management in Bled, Slovenia, was one of the first business schools in Central and Eastern Europe. Over the years, it has offered more than 900 management and executive education programs to business people from more than 70 countries. The school accepts about 3,500 students a year, 80% of whom come from countries other than Slovenia.
A word from the President, prof. Danica Purg
An outstanding teaching institution, it provides learning with the world’s best professors teamed with top regional experts, and develops managers with the highest professional and ethical standards. IEDC combines high academic and professional excellence, innovative research, and intellectual curiosity of the professors, as well as the ability to communicate effectively with business leaders, which results in mutual support and synergy.
In addition to three Executive MBA programs, IEDC offers customized programs for companies and other organizations, customized short seminars for executives and a range of general management programs, including an international summer school for young managers.
In 1999, IEDC received International Quality Accreditation status from the Central and East European Management Development Association (CEEMAN), an international accreditation body, while in 2005 it received an international accreditation by the Association of MBAs (AMBA). IEDC was named among 100 top business schools in the world concerning innovations according to the Aspen Institute’s 2009-2010 edition of Beyond Grey Pinstripes, the only ranking that measures how well schools are preparing participants of their programs for the environmental, social and ethical complexities of modern-day business; IEDC was the only school from Central and Eastern Europe to receive this recognition.
IEDC's location facilitates an easy exchange of knowledge and experience amongst business leaders and managers from differing cultural and economic systems. State-of-the-art facilities provide a comfortable and stimulating learning environment and encourage an ongoing exchange of ideas. IEDC houses its own art collection, regularly invites guest lecturers from society at large, and has been continually developing a creative environment.
IEDC–Bled School of Management is also the headquarters of CEEMAN (Central and East European Management Development Association), IMTA (International Management Teachers Academy), ELC (European Leadership Centre) as well as of the Slovene branch of the United Nations Global Compact.
