Novo Nordisk Chair of Management Matters in Diabetes

Holder: Jaume Ribera

The Novo Nordisk Chair of Management Matters in Diabetes was created in 2020 with the goal of contributing to the improvement of healthcare management, with a particular focus on hospital services in endocrinology.

Together with a working group composed of department heads from different Spanish hospitals, the Chair analyzes the main problems and challenges leaders in this field are facing. The knowledge generated will create a “patient journey” that can provide solutions which may be applied to the management of other health specializations.

Research lines

Among other academic initiatives, the Chair will produce a study to better understand the principal obstacles that currently exist in the management of diabetes, and will propose concrete measures to overcome them.

The results will be based on large-scale surveys of endocrinologists around the country, which will guarantee that a sufficiently wide data base will be obtained. Based on this research, a case study will be written, which will be presented to professionals in this medical specialization.

Holder of the Chair

Jaume Ribera is professor of operations management at IESE. He holds an MSc in operations research and a PhD in mathematical systems theory from the University of Florida, and a doctorate in industrial engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Prof. Ribera was president of the European Operations Management Association (2004-2007) and secretary of the U.S. Operations Management Association (1992-97).
