Negociación mar 2010.jpgLast 4 February, Mercedes Costa, Director and Professor of "Centro de Negociación y Mediación and Mariana Segura, another professor of the same Centro, gave the conference on "Cómo negociar y no morir en el intento: Identidades y juegos de poder en la negociación", a programmed activity by the IE Alumni Association.

 

With the use of fragments from known movies as a support, the professors analyzed certain topics which have been poorly discussed in most manuals and negotiation programs, however, are key in efficient negotiation. Matters such as the "nature of negotiation", "reciprocal identities" established between sides or how to neutralize "power games"...

 

They discussed the open and equal frame in which negotiators discuss their conflicts, the importance in setting appropriate identities which help establish respectful and productive dialogues, and drawing useful guidelines to be able to change power games when starting off in a position of disadvantage.

 

At last, the professors shared their experience with the attendees, creating a list of the 10 most common mistakes made by negotiators in cultural environments like ours and 10 ways to avoid these.

 

The conference came to an end and as expected, dealing with such a close and relevant content to all, the attendees shared all kinds of personal experiences, reflections and questions in an interesting dialogue.

 

El pasado día 4 de febrero, Mercedes Costa, directora y profesora del Centro de Negociación y Mediación y. Mariana Segura, profesora también de dicho centro, Impartieron la conferencia "Cómo negociar y no morir en el intento: Identidades y juegos de poder en la negociación", programada entre las actividades de la Asociación de Antiguos Alumnos del IE.

 

Apoyándose en fragmentos de conocidas películas, las profesoras analizaron algunos temas que, aún siendo tratados escasamente en la mayoría de los manuales y programas de negociación, son claves, sin embargo, para negociar con eficiencia. Temas como la "naturaleza de la negociación", las "identidades recíprocas" que se establecen entre las partes o cómo neutralizar los "juegos de poder"...

 

Así, se habló del carácter abierto e igualitario del marco en el que los negociadores debaten sus conflictos, de la importancia de fijar unas identidades adecuadas que ayuden a establecer diálogos respetuosos y productivos, y se apuntaron directrices para ser capaces de cambiar los juegos de poder cuando partimos con desventaja.

 

Por último, las profesoras compartieron su experiencia con los asistentes, ofreciendo el listado de los 10 errores más frecuentes que cometen los negociadores de entornos culturales como el nuestro y... las 10 vías de solución para evitarlos.

Una vez terminada la conferencia, y como era previsible tratándose de contenidos tan cercanos y relevantes para todos, los asistentes aportaron todo tipo de experiencias propias, reflexiones y preguntas, propiciando un interesante diálogo.

bilbao feb 2010.JPGLast 23 February a round table was organized in Palacio Euskalduna in Bilbao on behalf of IE 
 Bilbao Club and Victoria-Gasteiz titled "How is Basque economy ready to face the end of the crisis".

 

There were up to 150 attendees and the way it was carried out allowed to share different visions from the Business world and Government point of view about on the subject of matter.

 

Given the current situation, speakers agreed on the obligation of citizens, companies and political parties to give the best of themselves in their workplaces as well as in their private lives in order to transform the crisis into opportunity and growth. Bernabé Unda, Counsel of Industry, Eduardo Zubiaurre, President of Adegi, Alberto García Erauskin, Executive CEO of Euskaltel and Guillermo Ulacia, President of Innobasque considered essential to learn from past mistakes, such as financial speculation which set  off the real economic crisis, to build a future based on equal responsibility between social and political agents and agreements.

 

"It is a historic moment, of change, consensus and responsibility", said the Counsel of Industry on what was the way out of the crisis. " and until Spain doesn't emerge from the crisis, we will not do so with sufficient strength", he said after suggesting to hold on to European examples such as France and Germany, and those who are not suffering the crisis as much like China and Brazil. Eduardo Zubiaurre, President of Adegi, suggested that certain necessary structural changes in Spanish economy should be faced after years of growth, as well as in Basque labor market, to prevent such strong employment falls when economy sinks. " I don't know if a Government or State pact, but we must face those agreements", he said.

 

 

 

Guillermo Ulacia, President of Innobasque, stated clearly: "Innovation is improvement, progress, change", but not only product-wise, "also in marketing, organization, management. We live in cycles, and we must learn how to improve in each phase."

 

When the round table came to an end, which was covered by various media, a Spanish wine was served and attendees had the chance to share different visions on the subject of matter.

 

El pasado martes 23 de febrero en el Palacio Euskalduna de Bilbao, se convocó por parte del IE, Club Bilbao y Vitoria-Gasteiz un mesa redonda de título "Como está preparada la economía vasca para la salida de la crisis". 

 

El número de asistentes al acto alcanzó los 150 y el formato permitió compartir distintas visiones desde el mundo de la Empresa y el Gobierno sobre el tema propuesto.

 

Los contertulios coincidieron en que la situación actual va a obligar a ciudadanos, empresas y partidos, a poner lo mejor de sí mismos en sus centros de trabajo y en sus propias vidas para transformar la crisis en oportunidad y en crecimiento. El consejero de Industria, Bernabé Unda, el presidente de Adegi, Eduardo Zubiaurre, el consejero director general de Euskaltel, Alberto García Erauskin, y el presidente de Innobasque, Guillermo Ulacia consideraron imprescindible aprender de los errores del pasado, como la especulación financiera que encendió la mecha de la crisis de la economía real, para construir un futuro sobre la base de la corresponsabilidad entre los agentes sociales, políticos, y de los acuerdos.

 

"Es un momento histórico, de cambio, de consensos y de corresponsabilidad", dijo el consejero de Industria, ante la pregunta de cuál es el camino para salir de la crisis. "Y hasta que España no salga de la crisis nosotros no lo haremos con fortaleza", dijo tras proponer "agarrarse" con fuerza a los tractores europeos, Francia y Alemania, y a los que no están sufriendo tanto la crisis como China y Brasil. El presidente de la patronal guipuzcoana, Adegi, Eduardo Zubiaurre propuso afrontar los "necesarios" cambios estructurales en la economía española después de años de crecimiento, y en el mercado laboral también vasco para evitar caídas tan fuertes de empleo cuando se hunde la economía. "No sé si pactos de la Moncloa o de Estado, pero hay que afrontar esos acuerdos", dijo.

 

El consejero director de Euskaltel se sumó a la petición de más trabajo y más responsabilidad social, pero puso un punto de escepticismo respecto de la capacidad del ser humano para aprender de sus errores. "Antes de la especulación financiera ya vivimos la burbuja tecnológica de las empresas .com. Yo he aprendido a ser ignaciano y a aplicar el dicho de no hacer mudanza en tiempos de desolación, pero la segunda parte es que no hay que dejar de hacer lo necesario antes de llegar a la desolación".

 

Guillermo Ulacia, el presidente de Innobasque, lo dijo con claridad. "Innovación es mejora, avance, cambio", pero no sólo en el producto "sino también en marketing, organización, gestión. Vivimos en ciclos, y hay que aprender a mejorar en cada una de sus fases".

 

Al finalizar el acto, que fue cubierto por distintos medios de comunicación, se sirvió un vino español y fue el momento de comentar entre los asistentes las distintas visiones que sobre el tema propuesto fueron vertidas.

china club 2 mar 2010.JPG
The tiger, a ferocious and courageous animal that combines both the elements of power and grace, the IE China Club welcomed its strength by introducing to the community the cultural and business aspect on one of the world's fastest growing economies, on 2 March 2010.

 

"Our aim is to build business opportunities and create awareness between the IE Community and the Greater China Market," stated IE China Club's President, Sokho Trinh as he welcomed nearly a hundred professionals, companies, students, and alumni on the February 19th event at IE Business School.

 

 "Several business opportunities exist in China and we especially welcome investments into the more regional areas of the country," explained Mr. Ji Xian Zheng, the Commercial Consular for the Embassy of the People's Republic of China, Madrid.

 

"China is aiming to move away from the manufacturing center stigma.  Rather than being simply 'made in China', we are pushing for created in China", continued Mr. Zheng, as he outlined how to build meaningful and profitable relationships with their Chinese partners.

 

The guests brought in prosperity and fortune by studying their Chinese horoscopes, dining on traditional treats, and learning Mandarin, taught by Professor Keyi Wang.  Other speakers that shared their experience included Mr. William Davila, International Development Director - Middle East, Africa and Asia, IE Business School, Ms. Carmen Bedoya of Casa Asia, and Ms. Paula Ehrenhaus of Instituto Confucio.

 

The Chinese New Year event is one of the first of many that the IE China Club aims to organize in the upcoming year.  For further information about the speakers at this event or to schedule an interview please visit the "IE China Club" on facebook, linkedin or contact Xiayi Zhang or Rubelyn Alcantara at china.club@ie.edu.

"Nuestra ambición es crear oportunidades de negocio entre la comunidad del IE y el mercado Chino," subrayó el Presidente del IE China Club Sokho Trinh cuando deseaba la bienvenida a unos cien profesionales, empresarios, estudiantes y antiguo alumnos del Instituto de Empresa, el 19 de Febrero durante el evento en el IE Business School.

 

 "Existen numerosas oportunidades de negocio con China, y acogemos especialmente las inversiones en las regiones rurales de nuestro país" explicó el Sr. Ji Xian Zheng, El Consejero Comercial de la Embajada de la República Popular de China, Madrid.

 

"China tiene por objetivo alejarse de la percepción de ser el centro de manufactura del mundo, y por lo tanto, China prefiere ser percibido como creado por China en vez de creado en China, continuó Sr. Zheng, mientras destacaba las opciones para iniciar relaciones fructuosas y durables con los socios Chinos.

 

Los invitados consiguieron fortuna y prosperidad estudiando la significación de sus horóscopos Chinos, disfrutando de una deliciosa cena China, y aprendiendo el Mandarín con el Profesora Keyi Wang.  Otros intervinientes compartieron sus experiencias sobre China, entre ellos, Sr. William Dávila, Director Internacional de Desarrollo - Medio Oriente, África y Asia, Sra. Carmen Bedoya de Casa Asia, y Sra. Paula Ehrenhaus del Instituto Confucio.

On Friday, March 26th four of our IMBA students will be traveling to Singapore to represent IE as Team DiversitIE in the 2010 National University of Singapore business plan competition.  The students, Mark Peinhopf, Matteo Perondi, Joseph Berlino, and Mario Del Duca have been working diligently on the various phases of their business plan to bring Vestas into the small-scale wind turbine market since early December. 

 

The NUS competition is one of the largest master level business plan competitions in the world, and has attracted nearly 500 teams to this year's event.  The round progression started with a brief executive summary discussing their plans for Vestas, in which the team devised a creative approach of utilizing both NGO and non-market strategies to enter into  the German market  - clearly reflecting IE's emphasis on all aspects of doing business.

 

As the rounds progressed, the business plans increased in completeness, and the majority of the competitors were eliminated: including the teams from MIT, NYU, LBS and the Gopher's from Minnesota.  Our Team DiversitIE remained one of the 6 teams that were selected to fly to Singapore for an all expenses paid trip and to present their ideas to a panel of 10 judges selected from leading Singaporean institutions.  Please join us in showing our support for these students.

"The Guernica has become part of our history-declares Professor Muñoz Recarte-, it has been incorporated into our everyday.

InterimManagement jan 2010.jpg

On 28 January, IE organized the conference: Interim managers: the transformation leaders, more needed today than ever. The speakers were Alfonso de Benito, Director of Executive Interim Management in Spain and associate professor at IE; and Antonio Rico, experienced Interim Manager in different projects.

 

During the conference it was clarified why the Interim Management (IM) is a transformation tool that reinforces the management team in critical moments like:

  • International expansion, diversification
  • Merger&Acquisitions, JV
  • Restructuring / Reorganization
  • Successions in family businesses

 

IM can be used also for maternity cover or substitutions.

 

It was also clarified why this service is very appropriate in the present crisis and uncertainty situation as a tool to obtain results in a quick and secure way, without overloading the management structure.

 

The needed qualification and profile of a good Interim Manager were described:

  • Long professional experience (15-20 years at least) in different companies and sectors
  • Experience in change and transformation like restructuring, merger, start-up's

The Interim Manager must be totally focused in results achievement and have a leader attitude, working restless, taking decisions quickly and motivating with his example.

 

Real situations in transformations projects were given and also some of the global companies that use this service were named. Important issues to be taken in account by the future Interim managers were also explained.

 

A numerous group of IE alumni participated in the conference and following debate.

 

Finally, a copy of EIM's recently published study 100 DAYS FOR SUCCESS was handed to the participants.

 

 

El 28 de Enero, se celebró en el IE la conferencia  Interim managers: Los gestores del cambio, ahora más necesarios que nunca. Los ponentes fueron Alfonso de Benito, Director de Executive Interim Management en España y profesor asociado del IE, acompañado de  Antonio Rico, directivo con extensa experiencia en misiones de Interim Management (IM).

 

Durante la exposición se profundizó en porqué el IM es una herramienta de transformación  que sirve para reforzar al equipo directivo momentos críticos como:

  • Expansión internacional, diversificación
  • Fusiones, adquisiciones, JV
  • Restructuraciones/Reorganizaciones
  • Relevo generacional en empresas familiares

Asimismo el IM puede utilizarse para cubrir bajas maternales o sustituciones.

 

Se trató asimismo porqué este servicio es muy adecuado en la situación actual de turbulencia y crisis como herramienta para conseguir resultados rápidamente y con poco riesgo, sin sobrecargar la estructura directiva.

 

A continuación se describieron cuales son las cualidades y perfil de un buen Interim Manager:

  • Larga experiencia profesional (15 - 20 años mínimo) en varias compañías y sectores
  • Experiencia en procesos de cambio como restructuraciones, fusiones, start-up,...

 

También se insistió en el enfoque totalmente orientado a resultados y la necesaria actitud de líder y trabajador infatigable tomando decisiones rápidamente, motivando por emulación.

 

Después de explicar casos reales de proyectos complejos y algunas de las empresas multinacionales que emplean este servicio se expusieron recomendaciones importantes para los profesionales que elijan el Interim Management como salida profesional.

 

A la conferencia y posterior debate participaron numerosos ex alumnos del IE, entregándose al final el estudio CIEN DIAS PARA EL ÉXITO, publicado recientemente por EIM.

Italy CD 2010 1.JPG

On 30 January, the first Career Drive took place in Florence. It has been a joint effort between Careers, Alumni and International Development. The concept is simple: enhancing the typical alumni event, inviting external speakers. In this case, the speakers were Rafaella Mazzoli, Head Hunter at the prestigious executive search company Egon Zehnder, and Roberto Blanda, HR and Organization Director at Mercedes Benz Italia. Both gave their insights on how to manage a successful career, how to optimize a resume, tips and common mistakes during interviews, how to negotiate the salary; all this with a general perspective but focused on the peculiarities of the Italian job market. Sergio Negri and Maria Fernanda Diaz gave a short introduction on the importance of leveraging the network, also via IE Communities. More than 30 alumni from all Italy participated in the conferences.

 

After the conferences, that took place from 17:00 to 19:30, the alumni with their families joined during a buffet in informal networking opportunities.

 

The key to the success for the event has been: Involving alumni in inviting speakers and looking for a nice hotel in Florence; the timing as Saturday is a "relaxed" day, so alumni had the option to come with their families, Dinner at 19:30 is not too late if you don't want to remain in Florence but you prefer driving back to Milan or Rome, Standing dinner: maximized the interaction and Speaker's level: both were senior, they managed to give us some precious insights (even to the most senior AA).  Inviting a head hunter and someone from the "industry" has been important to give the perspective from both sides; the location as even though a few alumni come from Florence, it's a strategic city: less than 2 hours  from Milan and 1 hour from Rome. It's also a fantastic city to visit with your family.

 

Italy CD 2010 2.JPG

El pasado 30 de enero tuvo lugar el primer Career Drive en Florencia. Ha sido un esfuerzo conjunto entre Carreras, Alumni y Desarrollo Internacional. El concepto es simple: enriquecer los eventos de antiguos alumnos invitando a ponentes externos. En este caso los ponentes fueron Rafaella Mazzoli, Head Hunter en la prestigiosa compañía Egon Zehnder, dedicada a la búsqueda de ejecutivos, y Roberto Blanda, Director de Recursos Humanos y Organización de Mercedes-Benz Italia. Ambos dieron su punto de visto acerca de cómo dirigir una carrera profesional de éxito, cómo optimizar un currículum, consejos y errores comunes durante las entrevistas, cómo negociar el sueldo; todo esto con una perspectiva general pero enfocado hacia las peculiaridades del mercado laboral italiano. Sergio Negri y Maria Fernanda Diaz dieron una pequeña introducción sobre la importancia de aprovechar y hacer network, también por medio de IE Communities. Más de 30 antiguos alumnos participaron en las conferencias.   

 

Al finalizar las conferencias, que tuvieron lugar de 17:00 a 19:30, los antiguos alumnos y sus familiares se unieron en un buffet para hacer un poco de network de manera informal.

 

La clave del éxito de este evento ha sido: Involucrar a los antiguos alumnos a la hora de invitar a ponentes y encontrar un buen hotel en Florencia; una fecha oportuna, puesto que el sábado es "un día de relax," de tal modo que los antiguos alumnos tuvieron la oportunidad de venir con sus familiares; cenar a las 19:30 no es tarde si no quieres quedarte en Florencia y prefieres conducir de vuelta a Roma o Milán; Cocktail: dio pie a maximizar la interacción y el nivel de los ponentes: Ambos eran seniors y pudieron darnos buenos consejos (incluso a los más seniors de los antiguos alumnos). Invitar a un head hunter y a alguien de la "industria" ha sido muy importante a la hora de dar ambas perspectivas; el lugar, aunque pocos de los antiguos alumnos son de Florencia, es una ciudad estratégica: a menos de 2 horas de Milán y a 1 hora de Roma. Florencia es una estupenda ciudad para visitar con la familia.

Capea.jpg(*Spanish version below)

Hello and welcome back to Madrid!

We hope you had a great summer and would like to invite you the 20th of September to our "BARBECUE CAPEA OF THE YEAR".

A capea is a fun bullfight with small cows, and for sure a must do while in Spain! We will have time to hang out at the pool, listen to some good music, eat a typical Spanish barbecue-"parrillada" and spend some quality time to meet people from all the intakes, sections, courses, etc... it´s an event open to everybody!

The bus will take us from Madrid to a small town where we can relax by the pool, drink sangria, wrestle some cattle (some small ones, don't panic), and eat BBQ! We will also have free drinks DURING the barbecue. Before and after that, a beer or sangria at the poolbar or the barbecue bar will be around 2 Euros. Copas will be approximately 3-4 Euros (confirmation pending).


The idea is to meet
at 12.00 @ Serrano 99 and to go all together by bus. We will be back for dinner around 21.30 to 22.00, so everyone is ok for class on Monday ;-) The ticket price is € 40 and includes everything as described.

Queríamos informaros de que el próximo jueves 17 de septiembre, tendremos la visita del Embajador de España en Arabia Saudi, Excmo. Sr. D. Alvaro Alabart, quién vendrá a pronunciar una conferencia para los alumnos y alumni del IE, acerca de las relaciones económicas, comerciales y políticas entre ambos países.  

 

Arabia Saudí es el principal exportador de petróleo en el mundo con más de 11 millones de barriles diarios, lo que supone el 10 por ciento del total mundial y el 30% de los miembros de la OPEC. Sus reservas de 260.000 millones de barriles, la quinta parte del mundo, son las más numerosas. La economía saudí es la más grande de la región del Consejo de Cooperación del Golfo. Su Producto Interior Bruto (PIB) ha crecido una media del 3,9% durante los últimos años. Arabia Saudí representa el 6% del total de la producción mundial de productos químicos, cuenta con una posición estratégica y una infraestructura petroquímica muy desarrollada, al igual que su sistema bancario, y es un país que se encuentra inmerso en un proceso de privatización de entidades públicas. Arabia Saudí ha permitido la constitución de sociedades de capital 100% extranjero en muchos sectores de su economía, lo que proporciona al país cierta ventaja frente a otras naciones del Golfo.

 

Arabia Saudí busca inversión directa extranjera en los sectores del gas, telecomunicaciones y tecnología de la información, electricidad, tratamiento de aguas, ferrocarriles, industria petroquímica, educación, sanidad y servicios relacionados con el sector minero.

 

La visita de los Reyes de España a la capital saudita (Riad) en abril de 2006 propició que el ministro de Industria, Turismo y Comercio español y el Gobernador de Sagia (Agencia de Promoción de Inversiones Extranjeras de Arabia Saudí) firmaran un Appri (Acuerdo de Promoción y Protección Recíproca de Inversiones) donde se acordaba un tratamiento justo, equitativo, plena protección y seguridad a la inversión española y derecho a la libre transferencia de las rentas obtenidas con esa inversión, entre otros.

 

El Embajador Alabart nació en Madrid en 1947 y es licenciado en Derecho. Desde el año 1972 ha ocupado destacados puestos en el servicio español de exteriores. Con una amplia trayectoria en las relaciones internacionales, ocupa el cargo de Embajador de España en Arabia Saudi, desde 2005.

 

A lo largo de la charla el Embajador comentará también las oportunidades que se pueden presentar en aquél país para los inversores extranjeros. Tras sus palabras, habrá la posibilidad de abrir un turno de preguntas y establecer un diálogo entre los asistentes y el Embajador.

El acto se celebrará en español y tendrá lugar en el aula M-101 de María de Molina 27, a las 19,00h.

 

Debido a la limitación de plazas, se ruega confirmar asistencia enviando email a mariola.fajardo@ie.edu

26_02_2009_Sustainable_MBA_Student 001.jpgOn February 26th, 2009, Geoffrey Phillip Martin, a Personal Trainer in Madrid and formerly an MBA student and Strategy Consultant, invited the IE community to presentation about the "Sustainable MBA Student".

 

"There were two key objectives of the presentation", Geoffrey comments: 

26_02_2009_Sustainable_MBA_Student 005.jpg
"1. Educate people about the importance of prioritizing their health and fitness;

2. Give people the tools for actually finding time in their day and then using that time as effectively as possible to achieve their fitness goals.


With the above in mind, I educate concerning the health risks associated with poor physical health.  I then provide the knowledge concerning metrics for gauging your own health, effective exercise routines, techniques for optimizing concentration in study routines, tools for dealing with stress, advice with regard to nutrition and tips on weight management.


Examples are provided of balanced workouts and also the 15 minute workout (or "hotel" workout) that have been developed over the years for executive clients.


26_02_2009_Sustainable_MBA_Student 019.jpgThe concepts of sustainability, long term planning and transformational change that are applied daily in the MBA classroom are projected back at the student.  Ultimately your aim is to be a good role model for your subordinates or family, evidencing that it is possible to be successful from a career viewpoint AND be a fit and healthy individual."

 

The presentation was relevant not only for MBA students, but for all current or future professionals. Here you can find some comments of the participants:

 

"It was very informative and useful. I went to the gym twice since then (first exercise since I've been in Spain!)"

 

"Geoff's session was extremely informative and simple. He was talking to all of us ... not selling or consulting like a typical "Know All" consultant!"

 

"I thought it was a great presentation.  The lessons learned extend far beyond this year in the MBA program as we will all be very busy in our post-MBA lives.  Geoff showed how (relatively) easy it is to stay fit without spending hours in the gym.  Though I exercise regularly, I still learned some things in the presentation."

 

"- The presentation is a unique one but has an immense relevancy to the MBA curriculum: how to deal with stress, eliminate or reduce pressure, improve physical performance to maximize the mental one.

- Geoff has been able to transmit the concepts in a very interactive (with physical exercises or examples in class), spontaneous, fresh and nice way. Enjoyable!!

- The arguments were presented with a professional cut and attention to specific body exercises, diet suggestions, tips and tricks to maximize the students' benefit
- I loved it, it is key to highlight how much is important to have a balance between the job (or the MBA) and the free time/personal priorities we have.

- Geoff was seminal in inspiring us to have a balanced lifestyle even in the future when we, as managers, will have to set the example for our team."

Here's what a few of our champions had to say:

"The competition was a great occasion to put the theory learned at IE into practice. It was a truly unique opportunity to get an insight on how Analysts value companies in a very challenging environment" - Dominik Lanz

"It is a great feeling coming second though we would have loved to win. It was an interesting and educative experience and we overcame several challenegs and in the end I must say it was a great learning curve. I thank IE and the CFA Institute of Spain for giving us the opportunity." - Ameya Prabhu

"Competition was fierce, but with the skills that we have acquired during the past several months at IE, we managed to successfully place 2nd and 3rd in Spain. This certainly reflects the level of IE's education and the strong mentorship we received throughout the process." - Ahmed Al Balooshi

IE congratulates a New Generation of Business Leaders on their Graduation Ceremony

More than 200 IE students from four “MBA and General Management” programs have been awarded their masters title and are ready to succeed in today’s global business world.

Madrid, Spain (December 21st, 2007) – With a large number of students, alumni and visitors on hand, the IE hosted its traditional Graduation Ceremony featuring relevant representatives from industry leading companies such as Vocento (Belarmino García, CEO) and the Vega Group (Luis Carlos Infante Sánchez, Managing Director and Global Head of Human Resources).

It was 11.00 am; the room which had been reserved for the event was completely crowded; all the attendants were dressed in smart business clothes and in the front rows were sitting those of IE’s students whose skills and high level of commitment had led them to succeed in graduating from their masters program.

IE’s Dean – Santiago Íñiguez – started off by congratulating all the students for their valuable performance during the last months. He recognized their effort and hard work and underscored that it was now the right time to put into practice the knowledge and personal skills they had developed over the last academic period. He also emphasized the important contribution of the graduates’ friends, families and other people who had provided the necessary support to make it happen.

The event counted with the presence of selected personalities from Instituto de Empresa who are now playing an important role as the leaders of Top Industry companies. In particular, Luis Carlos Infante (Executive MBA 1987-1988) and Belarmino García (President of IE Alumni Association), delighted us with some of their experiences and work insights from their professional careers. Highlights of their presentations included personal stories rooted in their entrepreneurial experience in different industry sectors.

Afterwards the presentation of diplomas to each of the graduates, by Margje Geurts (Managing Director, International MBA), the new promotion of graduates 06/07 were welcomed by Belarmino García to the IE Alumni Association.

As part of the ceremony, those students and professors who had outperformed during the academic period received a special mention. Simon Berheide, Mathieu Frison, Amparo Marín de la Bárcena and Juan Antonio Pons, won the prize for the best student of each of their programs; Carl Kock won the prize of best professor of the executive programs and David Bach was awarded best professor of the post-graduate programs.

Finally, to conclude an event that had been full of enthusiasm and excitement, the auditorium stood up to listen to the Gaudeamus Ignitur which rounded off the Municipal Conference Center by an atmosphere filled up with feeling and strength.

Elated by the success of the session, the attendants were invited to a cocktail that was served in the foyer. Smiles, greetings, congratulations, joy … IE business School hat furnished another generation of tomorrow’s leaders ready to succeed in the global business world.

IE Triathlon Club - pix 1 (2).jpg
Despite the tough winter and the heavy workload, we did it!
After 4 months of training, we were finally ³prepared² for the race. 11 MBA students accepted the challenge and took part in the San Sebastian's Sprint Triathlon (750m Swim, 20km Cycle, 5km Run), which took place last Sunday 10th of June 2007.
All of us finished the race despite the difficult conditions, the inappropriate bikes and freezing cold water!
So, please join me in congratulating our team!

A pesar del largo invierno y las cargas de trabajo los pasados meses, lo logramos!!
Después de 4 meses de entrenamiento, pudimos prepararnos para el triatlón.
