IEDC-Bled School of Management,[1] located in Bled, Slovenia, is a business school. It was founded in 1986 upon an initiative of Slovenian business community[2] as the International Executive Development Center.

IEDC is dedicated to executive education only, operates independently from any university, and is run by a group of faculty under the President and Dean Professor Danica Purg, who has served as the dean since the inception. IEDC utilizes unique teaching methods: for example, it "has long been a champion of art as a tool in leadership development" (Anderson, 2008),[3] integrated topics such as 'Sustainability for Competitive Advantage" throughout all long programs, and offers one-on-one mentorship with senior leaders for its Executive MBA participants.

The core intention of IEDC-Bled School of Management is to be an agent of change in the region,[4] so courses, professors, and activities are selected to continuously challenge countries with transitional economies to increase business quality and results. To this end, IEDC has founded CEEMAN–Central and Eastern European Management Development Association,[5] the European Leadership Center,[6] the Slovenian chapter of the United Nations Global Compact,[7] and other regional and international initiatives.
