5. FDC: An international Brazilian
business school
Although it was founded and has its headquarters in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais (as well as offices in São
Paulo), FDC has been an international school since its beginning. One of the school’s main goals always has
been to achieve international reach, and the objective is part of its strategic, long-term plan. FDC attains and
fosters its international presence through agreements, partnerships and high-quality management- education
programs with faculty and with senior-level managers from institutions around the world.
International Alliances
During its first year of operation, FDC partnered with French business school HEC (Hautes Études
Commerciales). The relationship illustrates the school’s desire to provide an education with a global rather
than a local scope.
Today, the school has two strong alliances that connect it to the global business field: with the Kellogg
School of Management in the United States and with INSEAD in France. These relationships began in 1987,
when FDC worked with INSEAD to create the Advanced Management Program and the Strategic People
Management Program, which are still taught by FDC. INSEAD and FDC invite each other’s instructors to
participate in special courses; engage in student exchanges; and provide a strong, local contact in each of
the schools’ homelands.
In 1992, FDC and Kellogg School of Management decided to create what would become the Skills, Tools and
Competences Program - STC, which is still being taught as well. Today the Kellogg’s dean emeritus is the
chairman of FDC’s International Advisory Council.
Nature knows no frontiers
and inspires FDC to expand
knowledge across the globe.

6. International Advisory Council
FDC’s International Advisory Council (IAC), created in 2009, is composed of 85 members from around the
world -- representatives from business, academic, public and nongovernmental sectors who are interested
in Brazil and Brazil’s future. Members gather yearly for an annual meeting to discuss topics relevant to FDC
and the executive education field.
Since 2009, the IAC has had three meetings. The first and second were held on the FDC campus in Nova
Lima, Minas Gerais. The first meeting, in 2009, focused on sustainable development. In the second meeting,
in 2010, council members met again for a dialogue on sustainable development. They also discussed new
directions in Latin American foreign relations and the challenges facing corporations in the second decade
of the 21st century. In August 2011, the IAC held its third meeting, this time in São Paulo. The main topics
of discussion were growth perspectives for the BRICs and the risks, challenges and concerns regarding the
emerging countries.

7. School Networks
FDC is a member of two school networks: the BRICs Network and ENLACES (Latin American Business
Schools for Sustainable Economic Growth). The Brics Network is composed of FDC, The Indian Institute
of Management in India, Skolkovo in Russia and the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business in China and
it works with “BRICs on BRICs – Capturing Growth in New Realities,” the first joint international program
on management scenarios and models of organizations from BRIC countries.
To create ENLACES, FDC signed an agreement in 2011 with three Latin American business schools:
Universidad de San Andrés in Argentina, Universidad de Los Andes in Colombia and Universidad de Chile.
ENLACES fosters business education and sustainable economic growth in the Latin America. The network
conducts an annual summit with businesspeople, government officials and representatives from educational
sectors to debate and present its results. ENLACES is also looking to expand to other business schools
in Latin American countries.
Enlaces: BRICs:Research Partnerships
FDC understands the importance of academic research’s contribution to a dynamic business environment.
Through its research centers, FDC has reached out to international entities and schools to develop joint
research projects. One project is The Global Competitiveness Report with the World Economic Forum (WEF).
FDC’s Innovation Center conducts the research in Brazil. In similar fashion, the Center is responsible for
the Brazilian part of the World Competitiveness Yearbook, developed by IMD (the International Institute of
Management Development). FDC and Babson College (a U.S. school) are partners in the STEP Project.
Union is strength. Consequently,
union is a success strategy
both in nature and in corporations.

8. Cooperation Agreements
for Program Development
FDC offers many international programs as part of its educational solutions. Some are developed in
cooperation with business schools around the world; others are custom-made to meet the needs of clients

FDC’s international school partnership programs include the High-Performance Leadership Program, with
ESADE (Escuela Superior de Administración y Dirección de Empresas) Business School in Spain, and the
Partners for Excellence Program with Universidad de San Andrés in Argentina and Escola de Gestão do Porto
in Portugal. These programs enable Brazilian students to interact with students, teachers and cultures from
other countries and help strengthen FDC’s international image. In addition, FDC creates custom programs for
organizations around the world. FDC programs are taught at its facilities in Belo Horizonte and São Paulo.
FDC instructors also teach programs at clients’ locations if desired.
The Financial Times ranks FDC’s custom programs among the top 10 worldwide, emphasizing the following:
• Value for money
• Follow up
• Facilities
• Future use
• Program design
• Preparation
• New skills and learning
• Teaching methods and materials

In corporations and in nature,
adaptation is evolution

Knowledge Generation
In an increasingly complex and dynamic environment, FDC invests continuously and significantly in
knowledge generation. The Knowledge Development Centers generate concepts, methodologies, research
and case studies that stem from discussions, analyses and in-depth thinking on strategic issues related to
management.
The knowledge FDC generates is presented in articles published by its faculty, studies in academic papers
throughout the world, and concepts and methodologies developed by FDC programs and educational
solutions that can be applied effectively to organizations’ daily management practices.
The Knowledge Centers are fostered by various institutions engaged in the joint construction of knowledge,
from the selection of research themes to discussions about the results obtained. Some of the nuclei operate
reference or development centers focused on business themes or specific areas.
This working model encourages an exchange between academic and business environments, enabling access
to and understanding of key issues currently faced by organizations and the generation of new approaches
and modern corporate practices. These activities keep FDC in the vanguard of organizational management.
