"The success of our eCommerce Management programme, which is now in 6th Edition, is proof of the relevance of the subject for managers in Portugal. That's also why we believe that the launch of this book comes at the right time, when experienced professionals and the programme's faculty share their knowledge and experience, demonstrating how companies, with the right tools, can innovate, grow and achieve sustainable success, taking advantage of the opportunities that e-commerce offers.", he concludes.

ISEG - Lisbon School of Economics & Management has been awarded EQUIS accreditation by EFMD, one of the leading international accrediting bodies in the management education sector. This accreditation recognises the quality and excellence in the provision of management education which is comparable worldwide.
According to João Duque, the Dean of ISEG - Lisbon School of Economics & Management, "The EQUIS accreditation awarded to ISEG shows that the education that we offer is of the highest level of quality in the international offer where the people, systems and impact of the School compare with the best international standards. I'm proud to be the Dean of a State School of Economics and Management, which despite the restrictions and means that this framework imposes on us, not only achieves this level of quality, but does so without losing its Portuguese identity, i.e., whilst maintaining its culture, language, irreverence, freedom of thought, innovation, ambition for change, commitment to the fight for sustainable development, and intervention in public life, giving back to Portuguese society what it gives us."
The panel of evaluators, who, on the EFMD's recommendation carried out the accreditation visit, was made up of three Deans of reputable international schools, and have given the school several compliments, highlighting its reputation, external governance, balance of the portfolio of programs, quality of students, quantity of research, progress in internationalization, international advisory board, financial strength and the quality of the university campus.
ISEG is the third Portuguese school to be awarded EQUIS accreditation. In the Iberian Peninsula, Lisbon clearly stands out from the neighbouring country's capital, with three accredited schools in its region, while Madrid has only one. Compared to the other European capitals, apart from Lisbon, only London, Paris, Dublin, and Warsaw have three or more schools with EQUIS accreditation. In terms of world capitals, they are joined by Beijing, Singapore and Bangkok.
Together with ISEG, one further school was announced by EFMD as having obtained EQUIS accreditation, namely the Business School of Hunan University in China. Several internationally-renowned schools hold EQUIS accreditation, including London Business School, Imperial College, Saïd and Alliance Manchester in the UK, HEC Paris and INSEAD in France, St. Gallen and IMD in Switzerland, and Babson in the US.
This international accreditation comes a year after ISEG was reaccredited by the AACSB and at a time when the School was considered to be the 30th best school in the world in the Financial Times 2024 Masters in Finance ranking, being ranked 25th best in Europe and is also climbing up the Executive Education table in the same ranking. See the list of EQUIS-accredited schools here.
This infrastructure is the largest Bloomberg Lab on the Iberian Peninsula, allowing access to this tool in a classroom environment, as well as applied work with tools similar to those used by financial professionals around the world.
Starting this academic year, ISEG students will have easier access to real-time market data and tools, allowing them to deepen their skills in data research, financial analysis, data modeling and portfolio management, through the most widely used platform in the financial industry.
ISEG's Bloomberg lab will allow students to simulate real market conditions and test investment portfolio management strategies, enabling them to make informed and strategic decisions in complex scenarios.
ISEG students will now be able to take part in the Global Trading Challenge, Bloomberg's largest virtual investment competition, in which they will have USD$ 1 million virtual to simulate and train the investment process through the Terminal with the mentoring of Bloomberg lecturers and experts. They will also have access to specific Bloomberg certifications.
According to João Duque, president of ISEG, "Bloomberg's new laboratory will enable us to train our finance students even better. We're going to stand out even more in our training offer in this area, incorporating the work applied in the courses themselves in a more practical way. Our students will come out even more proficient, and the market will know that when they leave ISEG they really are qualified to work with high performance from their first day at work'.
The Bloomberg Terminal revolutionized the financial sector more than four decades ago and is today at the forefront of innovation and the provision of financial information, being one of the most used tools by financial professionals around the world.
On 6th and 7th November, ISEG opens its doors for another edition of the ISEG Careers Forum. With more than 70 companies , both Portuguese and multinational, looking for new talent, this is your chance to take a leap in your career and get in touch directly with top recruiters.
