Bernardo Daza, current student of the Master in International Management class of 2010 tells us about the last phase of the program: The Final Exam.

We are approaching our final weeks of our specialization period and every student in the Master in International Management will have to make one last effort in order to become successful in completing the program. All students are required to do a final exam presentation in front of a judge panel, this project is very similar to preparing a report for a management team in a real situation. During the presentation students have to use their business expertise and learnt tools during the program to convince the panel that their strategy is viable. It is very important to be innovative and persuasive when presenting their ideas referring to a given business case concerning the specialization chosen at the beginning of the program (International Business, Sales & Marketing and Digital Business).

It will be our last challenge in a long journey, everyone is excited and a little nervous at the same time. It is time to suit-up and demonstrate our skills and everything we have learnt in the past year. As usual the Master in International Management students will overcome the difficulties and will achieve success. The Master in International Management degree has been earned and all the effort put this last year pays back.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MASTER IN INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT CLASS OF 2010-2011 !!!!!

Bernardo Daza, current student of the Master in International Management class of 2010 tells us about the importance of making presentations in the program.

At IE Business School, students are encouraged and required to prepare final presentations for certain subjects, just like in company conferences or regular business presentations in certain industries.

IE students work in groups as is usual for these types of projects, taking advantage of the different skills and virtues of each team member, and get together all the facts, data, analysis and conclusions that are required in order to reach the spectator’ rationale, inform them and at the final stage and convince them about the analysis of the undertaken project.

This is really helpful in order to help students develop, train and enhance their presentation and communication skills which are vital in the business environment. Most of the times a great analysis, presentation and communication make the difference between accepting a business proposal or rejecting it. IE Business School really understands this fact and pushes students into developing their skills in order to be more prepared for their future business and professional roles.

A great example that I can mention for this is the Final Pitch for the subject of Entrepreneurship. After preparing a great Business Plan during the whole Term, students have to pitch it in front of potential investors and need to be ready to explain, defend and convince the public about their business idea. This really brings real reality perception into the learning environment.

Bernardo Daza, current student of the Master in International Management class of 2010 tells us of his experience studying Corporate Social Responsibility.

Something that is very important in the business area and directly linked to companies is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

It is proven that nowadays business success is not only linked to a direct market strategy. Indeed, non-market strategy is vital for business success and a great example of this is Corporate Social Responsibility. It comes as part of the ethics of a company to be socially responsible and to be aware of the implications of its actions on the environment, community, etc.

IE Business School understands this concept and offers a class on Social Corporate Responsibility in its Business Programs. A great tool for this class is the Lake Simulation program, designed by IE to make students understand the importance of CSR in the long and short term. Students learn a great deal during this simulation especially about how a manager needs to think outside the box when devising various strategies.

Remember, Corporate Social Responsibility is a must in business and at the end of the day it pays up.
