You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.239.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:38, 2 November 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''INCAE Business School''' (an acronym for '''''In'''stituto '''C'''entroamericano de '''A'''dministración de '''E'''mpresas'', English: Central American Institute of Business Administration") is an international business school located at the [[Walter Kissling|Walter Kissling Gam]] campus in [[Costa Rica]]. The school was founded with the assistance of professors from [[Harvard Business School]] in 1964. Although INCAE is independent, it adheres to the Harvard's case study method. 

The case study method allows students to examine past and current business situations, which gives them two years' worth of indirect, real-world experience across industries and regions. The case study method offers students the opportunity to step into the shoes of managers, critique their decisions and provide alternative solutions. While the majority of cases are translations from Harvard Business School case studies, INCAE students are additionally provided with emerging market studies from Latin America.

INCAE offers a 2-year MBA in Costa Rica. Other programs include the Executive MBA and seminars.

The ''Financial Times'' has ranked INCAE as a top global MBA program and ''The Wall Street Journal'' has ranked INCAE Business School as one of the top 10 international business schools in the world.<ref>AméricaEconomía (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) http://www.americaeconomia.com</ref><ref name="educamericas1">EducAméricas ((cite web |title=Ranking MBA: ¿Qué hacer para ubicarse en el top 10? |url=http://www.educamericas.com/Ranking-MBA-de-AmericaEconomia-Que-hacer-para-ubicarse-en-el-top-10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150619011045/http://www.educamericas.com/Ranking-MBA-de-AmericaEconomia-Que-hacer-para-ubicarse-en-el-top-10 |archive-date=19 June 2015 |access-date=17 April 2015))</ref><ref>Financial Times (2004, 2006, 2009, 2010) http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/incae</ref><ref>[http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/MB_05_Scoreboard.pdf Recruiters' Scorecard] ''The Wall Street Journal'' (2005)</ref><ref>Eduniversal (2008) ((cite web |title=Archived copy |url=http://www.eduniversal.net/pressroom/download/id/14 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090105164317/http://www.eduniversal.net/pressroom/download/id/14 |archive-date=5 January 2009 |access-date=17 April 2015))</ref>

==History==
[[File:Nicaragua - Managua, INCAE - panoramio (1).jpg|thumb|INCAE Francisco de Sola campus in Managua, Nicaragua]]
On March 23, 1963, President [[John F. Kennedy]] visited [[Costa Rica]] and met with the presidents of Costa Rica [[El Salvador]], [[Guatemala]], [[Honduras]], and [[Nicaragua]]. In the meeting, the presidents requested Kennedy's assistance in establishing a [[Master of Business Administration|business administration program]] that would produce future managers. On April 10, President Kennedy wrote to [[George P. Baker (dean of Harvard Business School)|George P. Baker]], Dean of the [[Harvard Business School]], thanking the school for taking interest in the initiative. Dean Baker sent three professors, George Cabot Lodge, Henry Arthur and Thomas Raymond, to gauge the level of support from the business community and society at large in each of the Central American countries for the project.<ref name="Barragán">((cite book |author1=Raúl Barragán |author2=Roberto Artavia |year=2009 |title=INCAE Business School, Los Primeros 45 Años, Visión y Pasión |isbn=978-958-44-6125-4))</ref>

Francisco de Sola, a Salvadoran business leader, took the leadership role in consolidating support for the project. On December 13, 1963, a provisional administrative committee was appointed to head the project that would be known as the INCAE Project. Francisco de Sola was named Chairman of the Administrative Committee, a position he would hold for the next twenty years.<ref name="Barragán"/> The founding Rector of the school was [[Ernesto Cruz]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.elnuevodiario.com.ni/opinion/458673-ernesto-cruz-referente-nacional/|title = El Nuevo Diario))</ref>

INCAE's first academic program was the Advanced Management Program, PAG for its name in Spanish. Between the first of July and the seventh of August, 1964, 45 executives from countries in the region gathered in Antigua, Guatemala, for the program. The first PAG was taught by Harvard Business School professors. In subsequent years some PAG students attended Harvard University's International Teacher Program (ITP). Some of them later went on to complete doctoral programs at Harvard Business School and returned to become part of INCAE's faculty. In 1969, INCAE's first MBA was awarded.

Nicaragua was chosen as the permanent site for INCAE, and on June 20, 1969, INCAE's first campus was inaugurated in the Montefresco neighborhood of [[Managua]]. The ((Convert|70|ha|adj=on)) site was purchased with funds raised through donations from the private sector and the governments of Central America, the result of a campaign headed by INCAE's National Committee in Nicaragua. Montefresco was chosen from the other options in Nicaragua because of its scenery and cool climate. It was also close to Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. The campus was built with a loan provided by the [[Central American Bank for Economic Integration]] with [[United States Agency for International Development]] funding. INCAE's first fifteen MBA classes graduated in Nicaragua.

In 1983, INCAE decided to move its MBA program. The second campus, called the Walter Kissling Gam campus, opened in Alajuela, Costa Rica in 1984.  Costa Rica was chosen because of its stable government and existing infrastructure. In 1996, INCAE reopened the full-time MBA program in the Montefresco campus, and in 2000 the Montefresco campus also began to offer the executive MBA program.<ref>[http://conocimiento.incae.edu/ES/biblioteca/recursos-servicios/historia-incae/pdf/Historia-INCAE.pdf, Cronología, Historia de INCAE, INCAE's Library]</ref>

==Faculty==
INCAE has over 40 faculty members who teach in the MBA program and the executive education programs. Ninety-two percent of the faculty hold doctorate degrees. INCAE's student-to-faculty ratio is six to one. 2017

INCAE requires its professors to have contact with the business sector to ensure that the material they present in the classroom is up to date and relevant. This contact occurs through consulting work for firms. Professors are encouraged to conduct research and publish their findings in peer-reviewed journals.

==Accreditation==
INCAE is [[Accreditation|accredited]] by [[Southern Association of Colleges and Schools]] (SACS), a university accreditation organization in the United States, to grant master's degrees.<ref>SACS ((cite web|url=http://www.sacscoc.org/pdf/webmemlist.pdf|title=Archived copy|access-date=10 February 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722052548/http://www.sacscoc.org/pdf/webmemlist.pdf|archive-date=22 July 2011))</ref> When it was accredited in 1994, it was the first business school outside North America to be accredited by SACS.

The school has also secured the [[Triple Crown accreditation|"Triple Crown" accreditation]] for management education, being accredited by the [[Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business]] (AACSB),<ref>AACSB International https://www.aacsb.net/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?Site=AACSB&WebKey=7DBEF580-E72C-49B5-91BB-6C589B24CC77 ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160505100555/https://www.aacsb.net/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?Site=AACSB&WebKey=7DBEF580-E72C-49B5-91BB-6C589B24CC77 |date=2016-05-05 ))</ref> the [[EFMD Quality Improvement System]] (EQUIS)<ref>The European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) http://www.efmd.org/index.php/component/efmd/?cmsid=040929rpku</ref> and the [[Association of MBAs]] (AMBA).<ref>[https://www.mbaworld.com/accreditation AMBA]</ref> INCAE is one of only 13 business schools in Latin America that have been accredited by AACSB.
