Master Class: Covid19: the short term and long term impact on our economy
Virtual event
IE Business School, one of the leading European higher education institutions, holds the belief that innovation and entrepreneurship are an integral part of its drive towards academic excellence. Our learning model puts students at the center, is eminently practical, and ensures that they acquire not only the technical knowledge but also the mindset and interpersonal skills that are essential for a successful future leader.
The Covid pandemic caught the world by surprise and was an unprecedented blow to our economies. One year later, how has it affected us? How have we reacted? Was our response adequate? What are the success stories? And how will the pandemic transform our lives, both in terms of how we work, how we grow, and how we live together in society?
