INSEAD is a graduate business school with campuses in Europe (Fontainebleau, France), Asia (Singapore), and the Middle East (Abu Dhabi). It offers a full-time Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme, Executive MBA (EMBA) programme, a Master in Finance programme, a PhD in management programme, and a variety of executive education programmes. INSEAD is constently ranked among the best business schools in the world and according to Financial Times, it outplaced Harvard Business School as top business school in the world in both 2016 and 2017.

INSEAD was founded in 1957 by venture capitalist Georges Doriot (who worked with Harvard University and MIT and created HEC Business School) along with Claude Janssen and Olivier Giscard d'Estaing. Original seed money was provided by The Paris Chamber of Commerce. The school was originally based in the Château de Fontainebleau, before moving to its current Europe campus in 1967. The name INSEAD was originally an acronym for the French or European Institute of Business Administration.

The original campus (Europe campus) is located in Fontainebleau, near Paris, France. INSEAD's second campus (Asia campus) is in the Buona Vista district of the city-state of Singapore. The third and newest campus (Middle East campus) is located in Abu Dhabi.

INSEAD has been a pioneer in setting up a multi-campus business school as a way to increase the global presence and nature of its faculty and curriculum. A Harvard Business School case study, for instance, explores its approach to business education in a global context and how it functions with a multi-campus setting.
