Núm. 04 Diciembre 2008 EADA Spirit No. 04 December 2008 Editorial International Challenging We reach the end of 2008 with mixed feelings. On one hand, the global crisis is affecting our corporate clients and on the other, EADA is receiving remarkable recognition at the institutional level. A few days ago, The Financial Times published the 2008 European Business Schools Ranking. EADA was ranked 39th out of 65 European schools, moving up six positions with respect to the 2007 ranking. It’s very interesting to see Spain in third place for its high concentration of excellent institutions, just behind 20 UK and 18 French schools. Only Belgium and the Netherlands with four schools appearing in the table match the “Spanish Cluster”. In other important members of the European Union, such as Germany (2) or Italy (1), there is a minor presence of first league institutions. At the same time, the two most important professional associations in the world for Management Education (AACSB and EFMD), partners in the Global Foundation for Management Education (GFME), presented in a conference in Barcelona. Their presentations included very interesting numbers about the geographical distribution of business schools around the world as well as the concept of quality in Business Education as it relates to accreditations and rankings. Today, EADA’s position at the international level is the result of 51 years of hard work, dedication and integrity. Hundreds of faculty members and staff as well as nearly 120.000 participants in all sorts of programmes, from short seminars to MBAs or in-company corporate programmes, provide strong pillars for EADA’s future. When world economies suffer from unethical financial approaches, personal development based on good practices, strong ethical principles and values for a sustainable world will be necessary to successfully navigate the economic storm. David Parcerisas President of Fundación EADA (Escuela de Alta Dirección y Administración) Barcelona, Spain Noticias EADA EADA News RANKINGS RANKINGS EADA quiere compartir con vosotros este nuevo reconocimiento por parte del Financial Times: está en el ranking 6 posiciones por delante con respecto al año anterior 2007, actualmente se encuentra en la posición 39 de Europa. EADA would like to announce its position in the newest Financial Times rankings. EADA is now 6 positions higher up the ranking with respect to 2007 and currently ranks 39th in Europe. ACREDITACIONES ACCREDITATIONS EADA renueva su calidad internacional EADA renews its international quality accreditations Ibercampus 23 de septiembre de 2008 EADA ha renovado recientemente las dos acreditaciones de mayor prestigio internacional en el ámbito de la formación de directivos. Por un lado, las europeas EQUIS y por otro la AMBA, que conjuntamente con la norteamericana AACSB pertenecen al selecto grupo denominado “las tres coronas”. Estos estándares de calidad marcan el punto de inflexión cualitativo en el entorno de las escuelas de negocios. Los criterios básicos que tiene en cuenta EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) para otorgar su distinción es que la escuela de negocios sea miembro de la EFMD (European Foundation for Management Develop-ment), tenga autonomía en el diseño y dirección de los programas, cumpla los parámetros para diferenciarlo de otras unidades dentro de la estructura universitaria o haber graduado al menos a tres promociones de un programa, entre otros factores. En España, hasta el momento se han acreditado 4 escuelas y un total de 113 en todo el mundo. La otra certificación importante renovada por EADA es la concedida por la británica AMBA (Asociación de MBA´s), que ha acreditado hasta ahora unas 152 escuelas donde se imparten estos programas. Otorga al centro que la posea un alto nivel de calidad de los equipos docentes de sus masteres. Conferencia Shangai El pasado 5 y 6 de noviembre, Giulio Toscani Director del MBA, participó en la conferencia «Chinese Companies Going Global» en la Europe International Business School, CEIBS de Shangai durante la Shangai Management Development Week. CEIBS es además la escuela donde se realizará la tercera «Week abroad» de los programas «International, Full Time y Part Time MBA» en Julio 2010. In October, Giulio Toscani reached an agreement with Korea University, the most prestigious institution in the country, promoting professor and student exchange. Recently, EADA has renewed the two most internationally prestigious accreditations in business education. A select group of business schools worldwide possess the “triple crown”: the EQUIS (from Europe), AMBA, and AACSB (from North America) accreditations. These accreditations create the standards that determine the quality of business schools. The EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) accreditation requires schools to be EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development) members and have completed at least three editions of one programme in order to apply. Other factors taken into account include the school’s autonomy to design and manage programmes and its ability to distinguish its programmes and structure from those of a university. In Spain, a total of 4 schools have been awarded the EQUIS accreditation, and worldwide there are 113 accredited schools. AMBA (Association of MBAs) is the other important accreditation recently renewed at EADA. This accreditation is based on the quality of the teaching staff and 152 business schools worldwide have received it. Seminar Week Entre el 10 y el 14 de Noviembre ha tenido lugar la Semana de Seminarios en el International, Full Time y Part Time MBA donde han participado 12 profesores asociados y antiguos alumnos de EADA. En la foto Emma Hooper y Theresa Desuyo que han dictado los seminarios de: «3 M’s Mullah: Military and the Market dynamics of growth in an emerging economy» and «Presentation Skills» respectivamente.

Nuevos representantes New representatives EADA tiene dos nuevos presentantes para Australia/Nueva Zelanda y Beijing, ellos también son antiguos alumnos. Aquí tenéis unas palabras para que sepáis quienes son. EADA has two new representatives for Australia / New Zealand and China, and they are both alumni. Below you can read a short introduction about each of them. David Yates Elena Han International MBA 2006-2007 Australia/New Zealand Representative [email protected] Phone: +61 418 861 047 MBA Full Time 2007-2008 [email protected] Representante en Beijing Tel: + 86 10 81119932 Fax: + 86 10 64733205 Mobil: + 86 13439800653 Was it a dream?… some days I think about it (as time flies by) and think it was. EADA gave me a lifetime experience – one which I will never forget. If it were not for the International MBA course I would have never have left the comforts of my life in Australia and learnt more about business and myself. I would never have met the amazing people that made the course such a rewarding experience and I would never have experienced living life in the most beautiful city of the world, where time does goes slower….. Barcelona. From thinking about the wonderful experience I had and contemplating the decisions I went through to ultimately enrol in the course, I decided in 2008 to become a representative for EADA in Australia and New Zealand. As a representative, potential candidates have the opportunity to ask questions about the business school, the teaching methods and the overall experience itself. I know that this solves the challenge of time zone differences and allows for almost instantaneous communication with potential candidates in both of these countries. The EADA experience ignited my dream of starting a business. This has not been forgotten and the fire still burns… Since arriving back in Sydney in September 2007, I have been working for one of Australia’s largest fund managers, leading the investor relations function and managing the relationships and information flow to the investment community for three listed funds. I provide investor relations advice to the Fund Managers helping to enhance the reputation and profiles of the funds. I also ensure consistent messaging and proactive and transparent continuous disclosure, which is increasingly important in today’s global market. I have recently become a part of the management team and am actively involved in determining the strategic direction of the funds I work with from an investor relations perspective. La riqueza espiritual que he conseguido de EADA consiste en “estar bien preparada siempre para enfrentarme a los nuevos retos”. En el año 2008, la economía mundial está afectada por la crisis financiera. Creo que esto no solamente es una catástrofe sino también una oportunidad, sobre todo para las escuelas de negocios como EADA. Tal vez haya más jóvenes profesionales que prefieren elegir una educación privilegiada de posgraduado para escaparse de esta situación difícil. Estudiar el MBA en EADA fue para mi una elección correcta. Espero que trabajar para EADA en China lo será también. Ya tengo claro mis nuevos retos y estoy preparada. ¿Y tú? EADA en Puerto Rico Juan Aníbal Giraldo Gaviria Programa de Dirección de Ventas 2005-2006 [email protected] Representante en Colombia y Puerto Rico Tel: + 57.3176381408 Aunque Juan Aníbal ya lleva tiempo siendo nuestro representante en Colombia, recientemente ha sido nombrado representante de Puerto Rico también. Hace poco estuvo visitando el país para hacer los primeros contactos con las universidades más importantes de Puerto Rico como son: Universidad del Sagrado Corazón, Universidad de Puerto Rico, Universidad Interamericana y Universidad Metropolitana. En primer lugar tuvo una visita con el Cónsul de Colombia en Puerto Rico, el cual le ayudó en la gestión para contactar a las personas de cada universidad. Noticias antiguos Alumnos ENTREVISTA Alumni News INTERVIEW Please briefly introduce the two of you. Rafael Mier (México) Adriana Rodrigo (Venezuela) International MBA 2006-2007 [email protected] International MBA 2006-2007 [email protected] I was born in Mexico City, where I studied a bachelor degree in Business Administration. In my professional experience, I had the opportunity to work in several businesses’ startups on the retail industry. In 2003, I joined an organic agriculture project in which I was able to become partner and director of one of the first businesses of its kind in Mexico. I decided to study an International MBA from EADA to consolidate my experience and gain the knowledge needed to expand my professional career. I am 28 and I was born in Venezuela. After studying a bachelor degree in Communications, I worked as an Account Director and partner at DLB Group, a marketing and advertising agency. In 2007, I graduated from the International MBA program in EADA. After changing my professional focus to Corporate Social Responsibility and studing some courses related to it, I decided to move to Mexico City and start my own business with a colleague and friend from EADA. What is your company about? Grupo Axius is a consulting firm which offers integrated services in Corporate Social Responsibility. We develop innovative business projects to promote sustainable development and generate a positive impact on society. We achieve our mission by creating synergies between companies, government and the Third Sector. Responsibility could be an answer to this problem, so I decided to delve into this trend and focus my career on this subject. We divided CSR implementation into three stages: Strategic Planning, Action and Communication. First of all, we recommend that our clients develop and implement a CSR culture from top management to the bottom line and establish clear objectives within their strategic plan. We finally found the opportunity and the right moment and place to bring our dreamed project to reality. In June 2008, Grupo Axius was incorporated as a legal entity in Mexico City. Secondly, we create tailor-made programs, campaigns and actions that involve their key stakeholders (Employees, Clients, Suppliers, Shareholders, Non-profit organizations, Communities and the Environment). After measuring the impact and results of their investment with the use of key indicators, we finally create a communication strategy to inform the stakeholders about the company’s actions and improvements. How did you come up with the idea? Adriana: The first thought about changing my career focus was during a Collbató Module. We needed to write a letter about our vision and where we wanted to be after the MBA. I wrote I wanted to start my own business and help people through it. By that time, I already knew about CSR and became truly interested about the concept. We had some classes where the topic came up and I took an elective called Social Entrepreneurship. Rafael: While working in the organic and agricultural sector in Mexico, I was able to realize the great disparity from life in the cities and that in rural areas. Since then I started developing ideas to merge these two worlds. I found that Social Both: While studying at EADA, we worked together on our final project which was closely related to CSR. After graduation, both of us continued to be interested in this topic and developed the business idea. How useful was the MBA? Now that we are running the business we realize how useful the knowledge and experience gained through our MBA program at EADA is. We apply most of the concepts learnt in our everyday activity. Strategic thinking is the base of our decision-making process. We developed our business plan, forecasted the financials and analyzed the market opportunity for CSR consulting in Mexico City. Although we planned different scenarios, our start up was caught in the middle of a global crisis. We faced the challenge to adapt and reinvent our company in the search of new business opportunities needed for our business to succeed. It is amazing how often we deal with situations similar to those discussed in our business cases, and how the knowledge gained simply comes to our minds as a useful tool to face and solve problems. How useful has EADA networking been when doing business? EADA networking is the reason that Grupo Axius actually exists. We met while studying our MBA and now we are partners in a real business. Most of our friends and classmates from EADA offered us their support in our start up and introduced us to very useful contacts. Friends working in multinational companies have recommended Grupo Axius to their colleagues in Mexico, opening new doors to potential clients. What could you do for EADA now? We believe Social Responsibility is not just a trend, but an approach to solve the ethical crisis that the world is facing. EADA as a business school needs to include and enhance the importance of CSR in its programs. We are interested in working along with EADA to provide courses and cases for the new generations and prepare them to become socially responsible business managers. REGIONAL CHAPTERS EADA Regional Chapter en México EADA Regional Chapter en Guatemala 11 de octubre, Hacienda Santa Cruz (México) 12 de octubre, Ciudad de Guatemala (Guatemala) El pasado 11 de octubre tuvo lugar el Regional Chapter México en la Hacienda Santa Cruz, para toda la comunidad de antiguos alumnos de México. Al evento asistieron Giulio Toscani Director del MBA y nuestro representante para México y Centroamérica Eduardo Salinas. Como siempre asistieron muchos antiguos alumnos de diferentes promociones. El día 12 de este mismo mes también estuvieron Giulio Toscani y Eduardo Salinas en Guatemala para el Regional Chapter. Festejaron el encuentro con una cena en un conocido restaurante de la ciudad. 15th of November, Berlin (Germany) EADA Regional Chapter Meeting in Berlin This year’s EADA Regional Chapter meeting in Germany took place on November 15 and16 in Berlin. Approximately 20 participants experienced a diversified, intense, but also entertaining program. There was at least one alumnus from each of the last 5 years present, demonstrating the meeting’s appeal to diverse alumni. The meeting started with an exclusive guided tour through the German parliament, the so-called “Reichstag”. In addition to facts and details of the building’s history and architecture, several amusing and interesting insights and stories about the Parliament’s work were part of the tour. After the visit the Reichstag, the group went on to the NH Hotel directly in the city-center of Berlin, where there was a joint dinner. Since it is one of the objectives of the Regional Chapter meetings to maintain ties with the institution, Giulio Toscani, Director of MBA Programs, explained ongoing changes and developments within EADA before dinner. After the dinner, an impressive lecture on “communications in times of crisis” was held by Richard Schütze, one of Germany’s leading experts in the field of communications. Schütze works as a consultant to several Ministers and Top-Managers of leading German companies. The meeting was closed by a joint brunch on November 16. All in all, the Regional Chapter meeting was not only an excellent chance to meet well-known people from different programmes, graduation years and regions, but also to refresh knowledge in a specific field of interest and – last but not least – to spend a comfortable and pleasant weekend in the German capital. Next year’s meeting will presumably be held in Munich – details will follow as soon as they are available. Volker Proffen, EADA Representative in Germany ¿DÓNDE ESTÁN TRABAJANDO? WHERE ARE THEY WORKING? Antonia Bozhkova (Bulgaria) International MBA 2006-2007 [email protected] As to work, in December last year I started working for a Bulgarian software company, named Telerik (http://www.telerik.com) in the position of brand manager. The company has been voted one of the fastest developing start ups in the hi-tech sector in Central and Eastern Europe by Deloitte. I’m quite happy since the colleagues are really nice and helpful and it’s lots of fun working there. At the same time, all the things I learned at EADA are of great help now.
