EGADE Business School - Tecnológico de Monterrey reaffirmed its leadership as the best business school in Mexico and Latin America for the thirteenth year running, according to the results of the Eduniversal Business Schools Ranking 2020.

EGADE featured once more, as it has since 2007, as the only school in Mexico to be rated within the highest category of the 5 Palmes of Excellence, which includes the 100 best business schools in the world, considered “universal business schools with a strong global influence.”

Within this select group, EGADE Business School was also positioned in first place out of four schools from Latin America and among the top 30 worldwide.

The ranking results were revealed during the Eduniversal World Convention 2020, held virtually from November 10 to 13.

Within the framework of the event, a delegation led by Ignacio de la Vega, Dean of EGADE Business School, received the 2020 awards for the 5 Palmes of Excellence and first place in the Top 3 in the Latin American region.  

“We are facing unprecedented global challenges and the role of business schools in the preparation of the leaders demanded by our society is becoming more critical than ever. This recognition inspires us to continue to reinvent ourselves, our portfolio, our teaching methods, and our institution in order to fulfill our commitment to empowering omni-entrepreneurial leaders capable of creating shared value and shaping a better, more inclusive future,”  said the dean.

The ranking evaluates a selection of the 1,000 best business schools in 154 countries and 9 geographic zones, generated annually by the Eduniversal International Scientific Committee (ISC).

The ranking methodology allows for a horizontal, inclusive comparison among schools, since they are classified by country and in five levels (Palmes of Excellence), taking into consideration the Deans’ vote, a survey of deans from the best educational institutions in the world, among other criteria.

​

At the convention, De la Vega also participated as a speaker and offered the conference “Preparing resilient leaders for the new global context”, in which he addressed the unique, disruptive approach of the TEC21 educational model and the HyFlex+Tec class modality implemented in response to the COVID-19 contingency.
