Abstract

Introduction: This research analyzes whether the executive training offered by the MBA courses in Mexico provide reputation management training to future CEOs. The goal is to know the opinion of the heads of these programs regarding the object of study, as well as to delve into the design of the curriculums and the role of reputation. Methodology: An exploratory deductive research has been carried out where methodological triangulation is applied through two research techniques: the theoretical framework and the in-depth interview. Results: The academic managers of the MBA’s understand the importance of managing properly, but they do not consider that it should include specific subjects in the study plans, but treat it in a transversal way. Conclusions and discussion: There is a vision of reputation linked to economic results. The core of the studies is in the development of the dimensions linked to traditional business practice.
