Welcome letter

On behalf of EGADE Business School and the entire Tecnológico de Monterrey community, I extend the most cordial invitation to the 55th CLADEA 2020 Annual Assembly, which will take place from October 21 to 23 on our campus in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco.

In a convulsive, volatile context of exponential transformation, which is redefining the way in which the main companies in the world operate and the purpose of life of new generations , business schools have the responsibility of forming conscious leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators , capable of reinventing themselves and their organizations, to respond to the challenges of the environment and generate a positive and transcendent impact on their societies.

Under the theme: "The future of work, the social impact and the role of business schools", this meeting will allow us to foster dialogue and collaborative work between the academic and business community. As well as tighten ties and strengthen our contribution to the development of society as leading business schools in the region.

This year, we will have the honor of receiving you in an emblematic state and city, a balance between tradition and avant-garde. Cradle of Mariachi and Tequila and other beautiful traditions that distinguish Mexico throughout the world. Guadalajara is recognized as the “Mexican Silicon Valley” for the convergence between science, industry, creativity, research and talent, which have positioned this city as an important hub of entrepreneurship, innovation and digital transformation recognized not only in Latin America, but also at an international level.

We wait for you to continue working in the development and training of the transforming leaders that our societies demand.

Cordially,

Dean, EGADE Business School
