History

[edit]
TheChâteau de Fontainebleau

Georges Doriotwas a French-American venture capitalist and a professor atHarvard Business Schoolwho founded theAmerican Research and Development Corporation(ARDC) in 1946, one of the first publicly owned venture capital firms.[7]Doriot’s career was also shaped by his service as a General in theUS ArmyduringWorld War II,where he led the Military Planning Division.[8]

After the war, Doriot planned a business school that would unite leaders from different countries, including the formerly hostile, to rebuild economies and promote peace. This included citizenship limits and language of instruction to be interchangeably in either French, English or German to ensure cross-culture collaboration.[9]By the 21st century, however, all classes were being taught in English.[10]

In 1955, Doriot presented this idea to theParis Chamber of Commerce,whose presidents, Jean Marcou and Philippe Dennis, funded the venture and became first presidents of the school. U.S. PresidentDwight D. Eisenhoweralso supported INSEAD.[11]

Doriot selectedClaude JanssenandOlivier Giscard d'Estaing,his former students at Harvard, as his co-founders. Janssen, well-connected in European business circles, had experience in finance, while Giscard d'Estaing, younger brother of the future French president,Valéry Giscard d'Estaing,brought a political network, securing support from influential figures in France and abroad.[12]

INSEAD was established in 1957 and initially operated out of theChâteau de Fontainebleau,before relocating to its currentEurope Campusin 1967.[13]The first MBA class began on 12 September 1959, with 57 students.
