Twenty-five leading global companies and institutions founded ESMT Berlin. The international business school offers a full-time MBA, an executive MBA, a master's in management, and open enrollment and customized executive education programs. ESMT focuses on three main topics.
Leadership and social responsibility: deals with how socially responsible leaders should be trained and supported.
European competitiveness: both the classical problems of market failure and regulatory and policy failures are examined.
Management of technology: focuses on how the development and market introduction of new technologies can be successfully designed from an individual, corporate, industrial, and societal perspective.

As a state-accredited business school, ESMT Berlin has two spheres of governance. The corporate governance of the business school regulates all strategic and operative issues of the School. Its managing directors (president and CFO), being legally responsible for the School, are controlled by the supervisory board and advised by the executive management committee (EMC). The EMC is made up of the managing directors and the deans of the School.
The School's academic governance deals with all matters relating to faculty policy, research, and education. There are two central bodies: the academic board and the academic committee. The academic board is an independent advisory body for academic matters. The academic committee supervises and advises the president on fundamental academic issues regarding research, academic instruction, and further development.
The president is in charge of the School and represents it in both spheres of its governance.
Twenty-five corporations and institutions established the endowed ESMT Foundation, which consequently founded ESMT GmbH, the supporting organization of the School (so-called in German "Trägerin"). The ESMT foundation's executive committee legally represents and leads the foundation and is controlled by the board of trustees. The international advisory council advises both. The School's majority shareholder is the ESMT Foundation, and the minority shareholder is the Gesellschaft der Freunde und Förderer der ESMT e. V.
ESMT Berlin develops entrepreneurial leaders who think globally, act responsibly, and respect the individual. With a heritage rooted in European values and technology's potential, ESMT develops and imparts new knowledge to foster sustainable economic growth.

A faculty member is a scholar with a Ph.D. or an equivalent doctoral degree from a reputable university or business school in a business domain. A faculty member must demonstrate an exceptional record in research and teaching or, for those who just completed their doctoral education, a high potential. Evaluation of one's research involves primarily scholarly publications in top journals and external references by top international scholars in the relevant area.
A member of the managerial faculty has an academic background, which is usually indicated by a doctoral or master's degree in a domain relevant to business education, often combined with a professional post-degree or post-experience qualification. Typically they have significant industry experience, evidence of advanced training, and reflective thought in the respective field. Research of a managerial faculty member usually focuses on policy and managerial insights, and its applied perspective complements academic faculty members' scholarly expertise.
