Category: , , , , , , , , , , , , , By Stuart

Hi folks!



First and foremost I humbly apologize for not posting earlier.. the last two weeks had been very testing.. with so many evaluations and events to juggle!



But then .. there was light at the end of the tunnel.. the 1st teaching block came to an end on Oct 12. (yeah I know that was a week ago.. but I've had a break and really wanted to chill out!!.. sorry guys I'm human (oops a tiny li'll mouse ) after all!!



Ok lemme start this wrap up by listing out the key company events:

  1. SWX: Chairman Swiss Stock exchange (SWX) Dr. Peter Gomez, (also Dean of the Executive School (ES-HSG)) spoke to us in a day long session about
    • St. Gallen management model,
    • merger of SWX Group, SIS Group and Telekurs Group: challenges, methodology, and future pathways
    • Mergers of Stock exchanges: pros and cons
  2. Novartis Workshop for their Finance Development program. See my previous post (http://mba-hsg.blogspot.com/2007/09/novartis-presentation.html)
  3. Lhoist lecture: Sr. VP, HR of Lhoist (http://www.lhoist.com/) came as a guest faculty as part of the international management course (Prof Winfied Ruigrok) and spoke of managing multicultural and globally dispersed workforces, family enterprises (Lhoist is a niche family enterprises) and attracting talent to "non-sexy" (I banking/ MC/Fortune 100) companies like his. He was earlier no. 2 man in Hilti HR division.
  4. Roland Berger Case Study Workshop



  5. Investment Banking Days (IBD), with nearly two dozen investment banks on campus with workshops/ interviews (see previous post http://mba-hsg.blogspot.com/2007/10/investment-banking-days.html). I would like to add here that BCG and Mckinsey who were not original part of the IBD also later queued up to woo candidates and had 1-2 hour sessions in the 2nd week of IBD late in the evenings (since all IBD slots were already full)!
  6. CapGemini Lecture on Outsourcing: Again a guest lecture during the Intl mgmt course (Prof Winfied Ruigrok) for a corporate Rep on outsourcing: motives, methodology and repurcussions
  7. Credit Suisse Workshop: Again as a part of the Intl mgmt course (Prof Winfied Ruigrok)

    Not bad for a short 5 week 1st teaching block! What say?
