Internationalization of EADA:
beyond international full-time students
Two decades ago, EADA decided to become an international
player in business and management education. At that time,
the very first step was to identify good students in other
countries ready to move to Barcelona and attend regular
programs.
This is in fact the first move any institution that wants to
go international needs to do. Of course, this is easier for
institutions in an attractive location, such as Barcelona, and
especially for those business schools working in a language
which is used worldwide. It is not surprising that all Spanish BS
that followed this strategy went first to the Spanish speaking
markets, as the UK ones went to the Commonwealth or the
French to the French speaking countries.
But as soon as this first step has been accomplished, the
question arises: What about all the other countries in the
world? The answer is not very easy because language is a
barrier for education. In present times the second step is to
offer, at least for the non English-speaking countries, programs
fully delivered in English. This logical approach to a potential
global market is not as easy as it seems.
Any institution with a long tradition needs to identify new
faculty able to teach in a different language with the same
standard of quality. At the same time, a very important
effort needs to be done on an institutional level to translate
and produce all sorts of pedagogical material in a different
language. Institutions that follow this strategy realized very
soon that not only students were very international, coming
from 20 or 40 different countries, but also the faculty and very
often the supporting staff had different origins. The melting pot
was in place!
However, the process of a global vision goes beyond students,
faculty and staff. Three years ago, EADA established an
International Advisory Board in order to acquire external view
points and ideas at the highest level.
Becoming an international player is neither an easy nor a short
way. How to manage alumni spread all around the world?
Regional Chapters, representatives, qualified ambassadors
are the answer, but also the willingness of each individual
person to keep in touch with the “alma mater” and to help on
local and international level.
Last year EADA gathered more that 238 alumni in 14 Regional
Chapter meetings all around the world. From Bogota to
Istanbul, from Mexico to Hamburg, groups of EADA alumni
got together to build an incredible and powerful network.
In difficult times this global network turns out to become a
safety net. Helping and supporting your fellow mates and
collaborating with EADA become a life insurance.

Administración), Barcelona, Spain.

ayudar en su diferenciación. Consideran
que los mejores MBA globales para los
mexicanos son los que dan a los estudiantes

los programas Full-Time MBA y aborda cinco áreas principales,
clasificados en dos grupos: los criterios de valor de mercado y el

local executives about the best available
options on the market of international
MBAs, which are becoming increasingly

EADA renueva y amplia su acuerdo con UCLA
EADA renews & extends its agreement with UCLA
EADA ha renovado el importante acuerdo
de colaboración con la UCLA Anderson
School of Management (University of
California Los Angeles) que persigue la
colaboración entre ambas instituciones a
través del intercambio de estudiantes del
Fully Employed MBA program de UCLA y
el programa International MBA de EADA.
El convenio permite un intercambio mutuo
entre un grupo de alumnos de ambas
instituciones en las llamadas asignaturas
optativas. Durante este año 2011 se ha
hecho extensivo a los alumnos del Executive MBA.
EADA has renewed an important joint
collaboration agreement with UCLA
Anderson School of Management
(University of California Los Angeles)
whereby both institutions collaborate on
a student exchange program involving
students from the Fully Employed
MBA program at UCLA and the EADA
International MBA. The agreement
enables groups of students from both
institutions to go on mutual exchanges to
study elective subjects. This year 2011,
the exchange programme has been extended to include Executive
MBA students.
UCLA ya tiene este tipo de acuerdo con otras dos instituciones
europeas de gran prestigio: London Business School (Reino
Unido), Bocconi (Italia) y ESSEC (Francia). La presencia de
UCLA en todos los rankings internacionales la ubica entre las
mejores Business Schools del mundo: 31 en MBA Full-time,
38 en Executive MBA y 27 en Executive Education según el
prestigioso ranking elaborado por Financial Times.
Para Jordi Díaz, director de Relaciones Internacionales de
EADA, “la renovación del acuerdo con UCLA es una constatación
del intenso proceso de internacionalización de la escuela, lo
cual se ve reflejado en la procedencia de los participantes en
nuestros programas, en los acuerdos de intercambio, en el perfil
de nuestro profesorado, en las estancias en otras Business
Schools y en el diseño de todos los programas”.
UCLA is listed among the world’s top Business Schools on
all the international rankings: Its Full-time MBA ranks 31st,
its Executive MBA, 38th, and it comes in at 27th place in
Executive Education on the prestigious ranking published by
the Financial Times.
According to Jordi Díaz, EADA’s International Relations director,
“the renewal of this agreement with UCLA constitutes yet another
example of the school’s strong internationalisation drive, which can
also be seen by looking at the nationalities of the participants on
our programmes, our exchange agreements, our faculty profile,
our study options abroad in other Business Schools as well as
the design of all EADA’s programmes”.
Andreas Heinecke, founder and
director of Dialogue in the Dark, a
for-profit social enterprise based in
Germany, visited EADA last March.
The MBA participants attended the
conference given by Mr. Heinceke
on his company and the experience
acquired with this enterprise.
Dialogue in the Dark, which was set up
in 1988, offers exhibitions and business
training worldwide, where blind guides
lead sighted visitors through different
settings in absolute darkness. In this
way, disabled employees acquire
leadership, communication, and
management skills. So far more than
six million visitors in 26 countries
have experienced a Dialogue in the
Dark exhibition, as a result, more
than 6,000 blind people have found
employment.

In 2007 I returned to Portugal, Lisbon, starting a consulting career
at Hay Group.
How do you see EADA in 5 years?
—I’m sure in the Top 20 of Financial Times.
How useful were the MBA learning’s?
—Not only useful, valuable! The MBA gave me the possibility to
obtain the technical skills demanded in a managerial career. The
MBA also gave me the opportunity to develop what I consider to
be the most critical personal and social competencies to succeed
in professional life, namely, team work, achievement orientation
and adaptability.
What could you do for EADA now?
—As Alumni I’m always available to contribute and collaborate
with EADA students and school.
How would you describe your experience at EADA? What
was the highlight?
—Hard work and friendship well balanced with lots of fun in one
of the best cities in Europe.

Toyota supplier. Afterwards I moved to Lisbon, Portugal, to work
as a consultant at Hay Group, a global management consulting

networks, and obviously I keep in touch regularly with my closest
friends from the MBA. In fact we are going to meet this August; in
Portugal....I’m looking forward for this!
What is your perception of the school like now, after finishing
the MBA?
—A very international school, with a strong link to the community, a
pool of competent professors, and a professional and friendly staff.

It was a success, since 15 alumni from the MBA, Master in
Management, and Master in Marketing programmes attended.
A Regional Chapter was organised in Brussels in early May
and Nigel Hayes, Director Master in Finance & Master in
Management, had dinner with a number of alumni from the
Master in Management and Master in Finance programmes.
A total of 9 alumni attended the event. Thanks to everyone for
coming and make a successful event, and for those who could
not attend, we hope to see you next time.
Nigel told us: “As usual, our friends at Michael Page were very
well represented at the event and it was a great opportunity for
former participants to catch up with some old (and not so old)
friends. During the visit to Turkey, Jordi Diaz and myself visited
a number of multinationals to discuss ways of extending job
opportunities for EADA MBA and Master participants. Special
thanks go to Haydar Furgac and Kubilay Ilgin for arranging a
number of these company visits”.

Current situation: Aviation Project Manager
- Samsung C&T - Seoul, Korea
EADA business school is a game-changer in students’ lives
indeed, and an opportunity to grow personally and professionally
as well. During my time at EADA I enriched my background
through challenging business cases and teamwork, which also
reinforced my competencies and knowledge about the foundations
of business and marketing as a whole. EADA’s legacies span
beyond the academic outcome itself to the network you develop
from your year in Barcelona.
EADA allowed me to extend my academic experience through
a 6 month exchange program in Taipei, Taiwan. I went to study
at NCCU, a prestigious academic hub in Asia, where I learnt
incredible cultural and business things about the region. This
opportunity added incredible value to my CV and made a strong
appeal to all companies I worked for after graduation.
Having a degree in marketing from EADA helped me move from
operations to commercial, strategy and project management
roles in large companies around the world. I am impressed to
know that companies like Airbus, Air France, Royal Air Maroc
and Samsung are very much aware about the quality that EADA
delivers through its courses and the high level of professionalism
that its graduates develop throughout the year in Barcelona.
I am currently working as an aviation project manager for
Samsung C&T in Seoul, Korea and my degree from EADA,
along with my experience in Taiwan, have helped me incredibly
to get this position.
It’s been 7 years since I graduated already but I keep applying
those things I learnt during my time in Barcelona.
I wish you all the best my dear fellows!
Keep in touch!

Sol Medina Kalvøy (Mexico)
International MBA 2005-2006
Organization: Flavours of Mexico in UK
www.flavoursofmexico.com
I returned to the UK after the financial crisis,
and I felt that something had changed. Before
the crisis, I had a career in the Cosmetic
Industry (L’Oreal & Estee Lauder), but when
my husband lost his job in finance, I decided
to take a “sabbatical”. While we were travelling around, I had a lot
of time to reflect on my life and decided to do something different;
I decided to be a source of change, to find a way to be linked
professionally to my country and somehow give something back
for all the wonderful things that Mexico has given me. “Flavours
of Mexico” started to become a reality.
Since I was a young girl, I had a firm commitment of doing
something to support the poor and to take care of the
environment. When studying International Affairs at Universidad
Iberoamericana in Mexico City, I learned about the situation of
the Mexican farmers, and I started to understand that I could
help underprivileged communities by incentivizing commerce.
And that was also the subject of my dissertation. The idea has
since grown inside of me and has been a strong motivation to
re-orientate my career.
After my MBA at EADA, my life changed and I decided to stay in
Europe, moving to London - “following my heart”.
In 2009, I started with the idea of creating an importing company
of Mexican goods. This idea took another perspective when
I got in touch with Alexandra Haas head of ProMexico UK
(http://www.promexico.gob.mx/) and Francisco Yong the CEO
of Gruma Europe (http://www.missionfoods.eu/) who invited me
and challenged my skills with the idea of creating a platform to
develop the Mexican Food & Drinks Category in the UK.
The challenge has been an amazing journey; the food market
started to boom on authentic Mexican Cuisine and there was
so much demand for ingredients, contacts, recipes, know how,
advice, strategy… so we decided to work together.
In March 2010 we started the development of Flavours of Mexico
(FOM).
FOM is a non-profit company established in the UK to facilitate
and coordinate a community promoting Mexican commerce,
tourism and culture with an emphasis on Mexican food and
drinks. It is established as a joint initiative from Mexican private
and public entities.
We believe there is a great opportunity for the Mexican Food
category in the UK. Currently, the category is growing by 1020% a year and commands a market share of about 15% of the
ethnic food market in the UK. However, although the UK market
is familiar with the Tex Mex category, it has not yet discovered
the wide range and richness of Mexican food. FOM is targeting
to enhance the awareness of the larger Mexican Food category
through introducing, promoting and supporting new and existing
actors in the UK market (e.g. producers, exporters, restaurants).
We strongly believe this effort will make it possible for the Mexican
Food category to grab an even larger share of the ethnic market
in the UK.
FOM’s main asset is its network, which brings together enthusiastic
people from all parts of the rapidly emerging Mexican market in
the food and drink industry. The tangible asset of this organization
is its online platform, which is also the main meeting point for
users and members of FOM. http://www.flavoursofmexico.com
The online platform or web page is organised in two user levels.
The Core Area focuses on providing general information about
the organization, recipes, ingredients, advice from chefs, as well
as a directory of people in the industry and a useful guide on
how to import products to the UK. It also informs about Mexican
activities in the UK and Mexican culinary tourism. The users in
the Core Area will be mainly individuals or consumers.
The second level is the Satellite Groups or Initiatives. These
are sub-committees that operate as satellite groups under the
umbrella of FOM. These initiatives operate independently with
their own team, management and budget, but FOM will facilitate
their promotion, coordination and support. These users will be
mainly business users or organizations.
Flavours of Mexico is managed by myself as director, supported
by a board of directors consisting of 3 members. Moreover, we are
advised by amazing people like Manuel Diaz Cebrian (Mexican
Tourism Board in UK), Tim Cocker (Director of Fresh Direct & MD
In2Foods), Ben Metz (Social entrepreneur), Laura Medina Mora
(Special advisor), and so many more that teach and remind me
everyday of how wonderful Mexico is, even though it is currently
going through difficult times.
One year after the launch, I believe we have made a difference
and the feedback has been very positive. We are moving forward!
If you would like to learn more about FOM, please check the web
site or go via social media.
Viva Mexico!

Máster en Finanzas 2009-2010
[email protected]
Me decidí hacer el máster por 3 motivos; por su posicionamiento
en los rankings, por el consejo de un buen amigo y ex-alumno del
máster y por estar inmersos en la crisis que todos conocemos.
Busqué en EADA una diferenciación en mi currículo vitae y hoy
estoy muy orgulloso de haberlo realizado.
Conseguí el puesto de trabajo por tener un máster en EADA,
ya que la empresa puso su oferta en la bolsa de empleo de
Carreras Profesionales.
Trabajo en Grupo General Cable Sistemas S.A., una empresa
multinacional líder en el sector de la fabricación y comercialización
de cable eléctrico, en el departamento de contabilidad general y
fiscal, controlando las coberturas de metales, estando contacto
directo con brokers como JP Morgan, me hago cargo de las
provisiones de gastos y de algunos temas fiscales. La sede
central es americana y por este motivo los reportings a realizar
de forma mensual deben realizarse en contabilidad US GAAP.
El trabajo es duro, requiere concentración y tolerancia a la
presión, los tiempos son muy ajustados para realizar las distintas
tareas y es en este apartado donde la formación recibida ayuda
a conseguir los objetivos. Muchos días al llegar a casa reviso los
apuntes, es decir aquello que estudiamos es de gran utilidad,
no nos enseñaron conceptos abstractos, nos enseñaron aquello
que necesitan las empresas.
Aprovecho la ocasión para recordar que el método de aprendizaje de EADA es de gran utilidad, se basa en los grupos
de trabajo, así se conocen distintas formas de afrontar y resolver los problemas, se aprende unos de otros y se adquiere una
nueva percepción y sensibilidad respecto a los demás, es difícil
de explicar este concepto por escrito, pero creo que todos los
participantes en los distintos programas me entienden.

Olu Ogunnusi (Nigeria)
International Master in Management 2007-2008
[email protected]
After completing the masters program, I
returned to Nigeria and started work as the
Business Unit Lead for operational strategy
planning in my family business Tastee Fried
Chicken. One of Nigeria’s premier quick
service restaurant chains focused on African
and continental dishes eat in or to go with
turnover of 50 million euros from 9 outlets.
I am responsible for developing and continuously maintaining
core brand corporate relationships, supervising a team that was
responsible for developing and delivering business plans through
carrying out research, formulating the plans, implementation and
handing over the new SBU’s to operating business units, all the
while continuously evaluating the existing business models and
designing new models in a bid to create a sustainable enterprise
in the long term. This was in addition to acting as lead facilitator,
both internally and externally, for projects.
After 2 years of restructuring a family business with its nuances
into a lean mean machine using skills “I´ve learnt by doing”
from various modules, I took a position as a Brand positioning
Strategist in the Nigeria Office of JWT, an Integrated Marketing
communication company that’s part of the WPP GROUP (we all
know Martin Sorrell).
I currently develop innovative routes to market solutions for
clients, collect and distil data from clients and other research
findings to guide strategic development. Here I also act as lead
facilitator both internally and externally for projects. Currently I’m
planning RTM solutions for accounts such as Ford, Panasonic,
and Nokia, who are looking to launch new products into the
Nigerian Market.
Life after EADA has been good, my appetite for challenges are
even more honed than before, and I’m looking forward to new
opportunities and challenges from anywhere in the world they
may come from.
Osman Ali Homurlu & Bihter Hersek
Well, let’s say if it was not for EADA, we would not have gotten
married. My wife was visiting a classmate of hers from college,
who was then (2004-2005) doing her masters at EADA when
I met her at a beach party. Then I was also a student here. And,
by an act of God, we flew back to Turkey together and sat next
to one another.
Five years after the story above, we got married in a town in
southern Turkey with a wedding ceremony for 500 odd people.
As it is the tradition in Turkey to invite as many people as you
can, we have invited all our friends to our wedding. Of course
some of my friends that I went to EADA with also came and spent
this day with us.
It is usually very hot and humid in Adana but that day it was cool
and there was a light breeze, which obviously was a good thing.
We had our ceremony at an open air restaurant/lounge/events
place that was by the lake in the town of Adana, which provided
extra freshness and coolness.
The week following the ceremony my classmates from EADA
stayed with us to spend some of the week in southern Turkey.
It was my pleasure to take them around showing them the
historical heritage, which went all the way back to the Romans.
I had them eat local food, which was a mix of Arab and the
mediterranian cuisines. We also got to spend some time enjoying
ourselves at the beach, just getting some sun and enjoying the
mediterranian.
After our friends from EADA left we had a couple days to get
ready for the honeymoon, which we spent in Mauritius. It was
the off season with passing showers but overall the weather was
nice and the temperature was around the mid twenties. So, we
enjoyed the Indian ocean, the local cuisine and just rested for a
whole week. It was also the world cup time which added some
excitement to our honeymoon, as we spent the evening drinking
and watching the world cup games on South African TV, where
there were commercials for mosquito nets.
Overall, it was an exciting day which I got to spend with my loved
ones. I wish more people from my class at EADA had come but still
I had some people, and got to spend these great times with them.
Marcela Oliveros Sandino (Colombia)
International MBA 2008-2009
Marcela Oliveros Sandino
(Colombia) International MBA
(2008-2009) y Jaime Calderón Cuello (Colombia), contrajeron matrimonio el pasado 26
de Febrero de 2011, en una
ceremonia de bendición de
argollas oficiada por Monseñor Abraham Gaitán Maecha,
en la capilla de la Hacienda
Márquez (ubicada en el Municipio de La Calera, a 45 minutos de la ciudad de Bogotá).
Después de la ceremonia se
ofreció una recepción en la
cual la pareja contó con la compañía de más de 300 personas entre
familiares y amigos, de los cuales se destacan varios compañeros
del EADA MBA que vinieron de diferentes partes del mundo.
La celebración contó con detalles que hicieron de esta unión un
momento mágico, único y muy especial.
El montaje se realizó en una amplia carpa que permitió disfrutar
del verde paisaje y montañas de la calera; las columnas de la
carpa fueron cubiertas con hiedra, espárrago y lucecitas, lo cual
permitía que se integrara al paisaje.
Contó con 3 grupos musicales: un grupo vallenato, una orquesta
de música variada y un grupo de reggaetón que puso a bailar
a todos los invitados durante toda la tarde y noche; el techo
del lugar dónde se ubicó la orquesta, la pista de baile y las 300
mesas, fue decorado con mariposas doradas y espejos colgantes, formando un techo con movimiento. Así mismo en el carpa
hubo estaciones de champaña y frutas bañadas en chocolate,
así como estaciones con una variedad de miniaturas y tortas que
endulzaron el ambiente.
Los servilleteros fueron muy particulares y diseñados por los novios, eran cintas color chocolate impresas en dorado con diferentes frases relacionadas con el amor y coronadas por mariposas de
colores fucsia, naranja y rojo que fueron usadas por los invitados
como botonniers y en lugar de números, las mesas fueron marcadas con palabras relacionadas con la unión, la alegría y el amor.
Los colores chocolate y dorado que dominaron la decoración
contrastaban con los arreglos de flores verdes y blancas, lo cual
sumado a las velas flotantes repartidas en todos los espacios, le
dieron un toque romántico al ambiente.
El “salón lounge”, alterno a la carpa, permitió un ambiente diferente para los invitados que querían disfrutar de un espacio más
calmado, dónde se contó con una estación de Quesos, panes
y Jamón Serrano, y al final con una estación de caldito y sopas
para recargar energías.
El 26 de marzo, un mes después de la unión, los novios partieron a
disfrutar de la luna de miel, la primera semana tuvo lugar en Puerto
Rico, primero en San Juan y después en Fajardo; y la segunda
semana fue en la ciudad de West Palm Beach en Estados Unidos.
“Llega un momento en
la vida de una persona
inquieta y medianamente ambiciosa que una
vez terminados sus estudios universitarios y
al sentirse estabilizado
profesional y personalmente necesitas un cambio. Es justo en ese momento cuando
empezamos a pensar en estudiar un MBA.
Nos dijeron que un MBA era “algo más” que la obtención de un
título, que era una experiencia en el sentido más amplio de la
palabra; amistades, decepciones, trabajo en equipo, crecimiento
personal, frustraciones, … Ahora podemos decir que sí, que
realmente es todo eso y mucho más.
Realmente hemos obtenido todo lo esperado; más conocimientos de economía, mayor soltura en las presentaciones, más
visión en marketing, nuevas trayectorias profesionales y sobre
todo un mayor conocimiento personal tanto de nuestras propias
limitaciones como de nuestros puntos fuertes.
Pero también hemos obtenido lo inesperado, grandes amigos,
conocimiento de empresas a nivel internacional y lo mejor de
todo: nuestro pequeño Adrià.
Adrià es el punto y seguido de una relación que empezó en una
fuerte amistad y que acabó significando un cambio drástico en
nuestros caminos personales. Reinventarse nunca es fácil, pero
si necesario.
Finalmente no queremos despedirnos sin explicar qué pasa
cuando finalizas un MBA, puede que no logres un incremento
salarial, puede que no consigas el trabajo de tus sueños pero
seguro que gracias al MBA puedes afrontar las situaciones que
te repara el futuro con mayores garantías de éxito.
Por último, queremos dar las gracias a Giulio, Mar, compañeros
y a EADA en general por darnos la oportunidad de explicar
nuestra experiencia en este EADA MBA Part time 2009-2010.”
