INSEAD
While it trumpets its global credentials, INSEAD's American connections are manifold. The driving force behind its creation in 1959 was Georges F. Doriot, a Harvard Business School professor of French origin. A statue of Doriot in the INSEAD library is accompanied by his observation: "Without action, the world would still be an idea." A Ford Foundation grant supported the development of the school and later sponsored doctoral training at Harvard for faculty members, and Harvard donated books to help set up INSEAD's library. "Harvard's influence is very much present, as we have faculty with Harvard roots," says Borges. "I am Stanford-trained, so I have my roots there also. Almost all of our faculty are drawn from American Ph.D. programs."[2]
Borges has also been involved with the concept of a European Ideas Network: [3] Together with John Major, Borges was appointed chairman of a European Advisory Council at Emerson Electric Co., St. Louis, Mo. The council was formed to assist Emerson on issues relating to the company's European business and the changing European business environment. Other members of the council include and Sir Robert Horton, chairman of Railtrack Group PLC and a director of Emerson.
