Join the festive and professional event of the year! It is never too late to cultivate your career.
CBS Alumni Workshop: Impression Management – Do you achieve your desired goals? 19 September from 17:00-19:00.
In less than 20 seconds we create an impression of the person facing us. Are you making a good impression?
We earn a living from working, but also from presenting our job performance - and ourselves - in a positive way. It can be just as important, how the task is solved in theory as how it is carried out in practice. The competence to solve the task must appear convincing and the work process must seem systematic, carefully prepared, and creative. At the same time your visual appearance is a crucial factor for, how you and your work will be perceived.
Psychologist and lector Signe Vikkelsø and stylist and Coach Tini Owild will focus on the professional impression you give your superior, cooperating partner, colleagues and customers.
Wednesday 19 September from 17:00-19:00 in the Velux Auditorium (SPs13) at Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg.
Participation is free of charge. For registration please send an email to alumni@cbs.dk. Please note that the workshop will be held in Danish.

Conference on Chinese-Danish Culture and Tourism
4 September Copenhagen Business School invites the interested audience to a conference on Chinese-Danish Culture and Tourism in connection with the CBS anniversary.
The background of the conference is the globalisation that implies a still more comprehensive cooperation between China and Denmark. A successful globalisation has to be based on a mutual understanding. In this respect a cultural understanding as well as personal knowledge achieved by visits, meetings and other contacts is essential.
After the conference an exhibition of Chinese Culture and Tourism will be opened in the main hall. The exhibition will run from 4 September through 14 September.
The conference takes place at Solbjerg Plads in the lecture hall 2.01.
When is a Business Global?
How do you measure the geographic extent of a business in order to establish whether it is global?
Associate Professor Christian Geisler Asmussen has just won The Haynes Prize, chosen among more than 700 researchers. The award is given to the most promising researcher under 40 at the Academy of International Business conference in Indiana, USA.
In the winning article ”Local, Regional or Global? Quantifying MNC Geographic Scope” he creates a number of models that make it possible to evaluate businesses in relation to globalisation. The results show that even the largest multinational businesses are far from globalised, since a strong home geographical focus on the companies’ country of origin and nearby markets is still prevalent.
“It is a prestigious honour to win and I take it as a stamp of approval of the work that I have done,” Christian Geisler Asmussen states.
