Event: Net weaving – Results through Relations
The consultancy agency PS4
is hosting a yearly net weaving event in collaboration with Tivoli, Toruplund, and Jyllandsposten. This year’s net weaving event is about giving – what, when, and why do you give? The topic refers to the law of karma and believing that what you give will return to yourself later in some manner. Focusing on interaction and network activities, the event aims at inspiring and providing the participants with tools for mapping and creating valuable networks.
All participants get a CD containing Børsen’s Handbooks on Leadership for free (value 4000 DKK).

Conference on Organisational Symbolism in Malmö & Copenhagen
The symbol of the bridge has a long and complex genealogy in European social theory and serves as a powerful metaphor in organisation studies. In keeping with the bridge theme, CBS with assistance from the Department of Urban Studies, Malmö Högskola, will be hosting the 27 Standing Conference on Organisational Symbolism in Denmark (Copenhagen) and Sweden (Malmö).
Participants will have the opportunity to send an abstract about all organisational aspects and organising, which connect different types of knowledge and realities, disciplines, geographies, cultures, academia and practice, ‘mainstream’ and ‘critical’ and so on. But the number of associations attached to bridges and bridging is limitless – thus, potential themes are limited only by imagination. The abstracts should not exceed 500 words in Word format and should be submitted as an email attachments by Friday 6 December 2008 to: scos2009@gmail.com. You may also direct any questions to this email.
The conference will take place at CBS together with Malmö University - 8-11 June 2009. Registration deadline is 6 December 2009.

Inside CBS: New Broadcast Series on the Web Radio “Den 2. Radio”
Copenhagen Business School and the new web radio “Den 2. Radio” are jointly collaborating on a series of 20 broadcasts, which focus on CBS, called “Inside CBS”.
So far three broadcasts have been aired. The first broadcast featured University Director Peter Pietras and Dean of Research Alan Irwin, who shared their thoughts on the university’s visions and practices. The second broadcast was about research in Asia, particularly focusing on China, explained by Professor Kjeld Erik Brødsgaard. The third broadcast featured Professor Peter Møllgaard, Head of Department of Economics, who talked about the department’s recent research and current financial crisis.
- “This is a unique opportunity to disseminate our knowledge, and with 20 transmissions we are able to provide valuable insight regarding CBS’ many research areas. The in-depth programme provides the listeners with a different and additional approach to some of the stories often covered in short newsbreaks, for instance, the financial crisis and the economic development in Asia”, University Director Peter Pietras said.
Open University (HD programmes)
In the new decree regulating the HD programmes, which is a four years part-time programme, it has been clarified that HD is now recognised as a ‘Graduate Diploma of Business Administration’ and corresponds to a Bachelor’s degree.
HD consists of two parts. The first part provides a general introduction to business disciplines and the second part offers several specialised programmes.
These programmes date back before World War II and can be regarded as the root of CBS. Before CBS detained its university status, employees in the private sector went to the business school in the evening to learn ‘modern languages’ and ‘commercial calculations’. Today, it serves as the point of entry to schools of higher education for young people who are beign employed without a university education in the Social Sciences.
Finally, we see HD as a useful step for graduates, who are aiming at a master’s degree, such as MBA for general management or one of the other specialised master’s.
