From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
IPADE, (PanAmerican Institute for High Business Direction) is the business school of Universidad Panamericana, or PanAmerican University, a private university in Mexico. The institute, from which the university came out later, was founded in 1967 by a notable group of Mexican businessmen.
According to the Wall Street Journal's 2005 ranking, IPADE is the fourth best business school of the world, just after IMD, ESADE, and Carnegie Mellon. It also holds the third best MBA of the world. More than 15,000 CEOs of Mexican and international companies have passed through the Institute, which features primarily in the learning experience the use of cases. There is a strong philosophical insight for the businessman's chores and duties within the organization. IPADE has a Christian orientation, entrusted to the Opus Dei prelature.
Besides its campus in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey IPADE organizes alternate and itinerant MBA courses throughout the republic.
The building in which IPADE holds its Mexico City campus is the seventeenth century Hacienda de San Antonio ClaverÃa.

[edit] History of the Building
The Hacienda of San Antonio ClaverÃa was formed in the last third of the seventeenth century. Its first propietor to be known was Domingo Bustamante, a spaniard alleged to be descendant of a Charlemagne's nephew. This Hacienda was located within the limits of the borough of Azcapotzalco (in those days the pueblo Azcapotzalco) and even the Tacuba area. When Mr. Bustamante died the Hacienda was bought by a man surnamed Otero for a ridiculous sum of money.
The Hacienda barely managed to stand the fierce wars in the Mexican nineteenth century. By the twentieth, it was converted into a wheat barn, a situation which didn't help the building's architecture. It was restored in 1951. The Institute arrived in 1967.
