Developing ideas and leaders that transform the world—from the very center of business. As the only top Ivy League business school immersed in the global business hub that is New York City, we offer students unparalleled access to leaders from across industries — in the classroom, throughout the city, and around the globe. The Lord Irvine A.S.

London Business School (LBS) was established in 1964 to improve management abilities by ‘equipping men and women to take decisions more quickly, more confidently, and with a better chance of proving right in the unpredictable conditions of business life.’ Our commitment to women is embedded within our foundation. Over the last 55 years it has become a central part of our identity, and it is now more important than ever.
