SICEF MBA Event – October 4, 2007 from 5 to 9 pm at CBS
C3 Studerende offers those, who are interested, to get personal and informal contact with 14 of the world’s leading MBA Schools. SICEF MBA Event presents different interesting guest speakers, and the event includs food and drinks for free.
With the concept for this year’s event, we will try to give the participants the opportunity to gain a more personal feel of the individual schools. The theme for this year is talent; completing an MBA requires talent, first of all in regard to the education itself and secondly to handle family and everyday life next to the studies.
Business managers have to learn the right speech
On November 20, 2007 CBS, Dansk Erhverv, Jyllandsposten and the rhetorical consulting firm Rhetor hold a conference about rhetoric in the Danish business world. The pulse of the Danish top managers’ rhetorical competences will be measured and the award for Business Speaker of the Year 2007 will be given.
- The rhetorical tradition has something to teach us in terms of how to appear trustworthy, how to share understanding and engagement with the audience, how to grab and make the most of the verbal space and how to ensure that the message remains clear, also after the speech – all in all these are qualities that are increasingly important to the modern business manager, says Jonas Gabrielsen, CBS.
Being a member of CBS Alumni, you can participate in the conference for a reduced price of 1499 DKK (normal price: 1999 DKK).
The conference will be held in Danish.
ECCI X – European Conference on Creativity and Innovation
ECCI X is an international conference on research and practice within the field of creativity and innovation. The conference will run from 14-17 October, and it aims to dissect and reanimate the debate on innovation and creativity. ECCI X will focus on the removal of the boarders between laboratory and home, between product and user, and to rethink and recreate the entire dynamics between user, creativity, and innovation. Furthermore, the target is to begin the process of dismantling and recreating innovation and creativity as such – and ultimately, to innovate innovation.
Highlights from the program:
• Opening keynote: Scott Isaksen & Joe Tidd: 'The innovation challenge – and the story behind'
• Paper Jam Sessions - Case series: LEGO Mindstorms and others - Toolboxes - Weird track - Crack the Nut workshops
• Keynote presentations by a.o. Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, LEGO, Niels Due Jensen, Grundfos.

The CBS Anniversary activities are off to a good start
Opening Seminar
4 September, which is CBS 90th Anniversary Day, was officially launched with an opening seminar and following reception for students, staff, friends and associates. The day included presentations by Adjunct Professor Uffe Ellemann-Jensen followed by musical performances from three young artists. Among these Maria Lucia Heiberg also known from the TV show Pop Stars at TV2.
CBS Relay
September 18th CBS tested the physical fitness of its students, staff, corporate partners, and fellow educational institutions at Campus Frederiksberg holding an Anniversary Relay. The route covered the Solbjerg Campus, and 80 teams of four participants were running for the winning prize. The participants had signed up for a team category beforehand, and several runners had replaced the official t-shirt with a festive outfit.
New book: Container Shipping and Economic Development
A Case Study of A.P. Moller – Maersk
The study focuses on A.P. Moller - Maersk's container business in South East Asian developing countries, in particular Vietnam. Building on an extensive empirical analysis of A.P. Moller - Maersk's container business in South East Asia, the book suggests that A.P. Moller - Maersk's container business may play an important role in the integration of global production processes, not only by moving goods from A to B and coordinating multiple modes of transport, but also by coordinating and integrating increasingly atomised production processes at a global scale. By analysing A.P. Moller - Maersk's activities in South East Asia, the book contributes to our understanding of the role of container shipping services in economic development processes.
