Do you want to understand the business around all the strange acronyms around telecoms? Do you know the new business opportunities behind the combination of your mobile phone, TV and Internet? Today we´re living the Renaissance of the Information Technologies. After the glorious days in the end of the 90´s and the "Dark Age" of the bubble burst, new movements like the Web 2.0 and the Convergence progress are changing the "Digital Economy".

Based on these thoughts we have come up with the idea of creating a TechIE Club. We expect it to be a forum and a resource in IE for the students interested in this world. Among our proposed activities, we want to prepare a "TechIE Day" for next spring, maybe other conferences/events and also to be a reference point in exchange of ideas about this exciting market (maybe you want to create the "next big thing" in internet?).

What do you want TechIE Club to be? We will make a brief presentation on the 30th of November at 4 pm at class P-312 (C/Pinar, 18). Those of you that are interested, please send us an email with your ideas and suggestions for the Club as well as if you’re willing to attend the presentation session to techie.club@ie.edu

See you @TechIE!

¿Quieres entender el negocio que hay alrededor de todos esos extraños acrónimos de las Telecomunicaciones?¿Conoces las oportunidades de negocio detrás de la mezcla de tu teléfono móvil, la TV e Internet? Hoy en día estamos viviendo el Renacimiento de las Tecnologías de la Información. Después del esplendor del final de los 90 y la Edad Oscura de la explosión de la burbuja tecnológica, nuevos movimientos como el de la Web 2.0 y el proceso de Convergencia están cambiando la "Economía Digital".

Basados en estas reflexiones ha nacido la idea de crear el TechIE Club. Esperamos que sirva de foro y como recurso en el IE para todos los estudiantes interesados en este mundo. Entre nuestras propuestas de actividades queremos preparar un "TechIE Day" para la próxima primavera, quizá otras conferencias/eventos y también servir como punto de intercambio de ideas sobre este excitante mercado (¿quizás quieres crear el próximo bombazo de Internet?).

¿Qué te gustaría del TechIE Club? Haremos una breve presentación del Club el jueves 30 de Noviembre a las 4 de la tarde en la clase P-312 (C/Pinar, 18). Por favor, aquellos de vosotros interesados, enviadnos un email con vuestras ideas y sugerencias para el Club, así como si tenéis intención de venir el día de la presentación, a techie.club@ie.edu

Nos vemos @TechIE!

Meet IEOut!

Wednesday, November 15th
Venue: AREIA
Hortaleza, 92 (see location on the map)
At 9:30 pmMetro: Chueca

Diversity is one the banners of Instituto the Empresa: This year we have 57 different nationalities at the IMBA where Spanish are not majority any more! There are classes like the MMM with more women than men. All academic, professional backgrounds and all ethnics are represented. We guess there are students from all political trends and religious believes.

All IE community celebrates and fosters diversity, in which all members can freely express themselves without constraints imposed by dogma or dictum.

Given our diverse environment and the increasing visibility of gays and lesbians in society, a group of students with the support of the Alumni Association and Familie have decided to create and promote a Gay and Lesbian network among our current students, alumni and all the stakeholders of IE.

IEOut, the “Gay & Lesbian IE Network”, wants to be a reference for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender (LGBT) and their friends at IE. This network wants to promote and spread respectful attitudes towards the Gay community and to foster best practices to integrate them in the Business School and in the workplace.

Meet IEOut in its first gathering!

From now on we will meet the first Wednesday of the month at a chosen venue of Madrid.

As November 1st was holiday we will meet this Wednesday at Areia. If you can not attend but want to contact us please do it IEOut@ie.edu

Dear all,

The football pitch at La Chopera in the El Retiro park (the same place as last thursday) is booked for Wednesday 15/11/06 (tomorrow) 16:30 for ONLY 1 hour.
In the link shown it´s marked as no.23.

PLEASE be there 10 minutes before or on time, otherwise I can not guarantee you a game, as many of you saw last week that we had a lot of people (44 people) who want to play. We have the whole pitch booked just like last week so we can make 4 teams of 7 people in each and NO more. So the first 29 people can play and the late comers will have to try their luck next time.

We are in the process of looking for other pitches near IE that will allow us 2 hours each session (especially on Saturdays) so that even the late comers can have a game.

Cheers,
Attique

Instituto de Empresa Marketing Day 2006
26th October 2006 saw the second annual Instituto de Empresa Marketing Day. Over 100 students from the MBA, International MBA and Marketing Masters programs were present to experience and learn from the executives of 6 outstanding companies, spanning different industries and sectors.

The event was organized by the Marketing Innovations Club: Kysha Gibson (President), Vanessa Espasa and Cecilia Corripio, all IMBA06. This year marked the first time that the Marketing Day was in collaboration with Daemon Quest, who brought together the panel of prestigious companies: CitiBank, Coca Cola, La Carte des Vins, NH Hotels and Orange.

The day began with two workshops: ROC: Return on Customer by Daemon Quest and New Trends in Loyalty by NH Hotels. These workshops were well attended with topics geared at the analytical as well as the more traditional concept of the creative marketer. Each speaker explored the impact of their work and how their businesses were overcoming current marketing challenges. Students were able to meet and discuss how they could leverage their career in the industry and even learn about the opportunities that the companies had for MBA graduates.

After the workshops, Eduardo Fernández-Cantelli addressed the participants on the importance of marketing and introduced the panel members to the attendees. The panel consisted of: Daemon Quest’s Todd Stein (Partner), Citibank’s Angelo Impoco (Head of Credit Cards Business Development - Europe, Middle East, Africa); Coca Cola’s José Manuel Udaondo (Horeca Strategic Development Manager GCL & Operations); La Carte des Vins’ Javier de Rivera (General Director); NH Hotels’ Oscar Vega (Corporate CRM Manager) and Orange’s José María Cantero de Montes (Director of Marketing - Personal Business Unit).

Special collaborators, Daemon Quest, then chaired the panel (Yelena Zubareva - Consultant Luxury Goods) and lead an interesting discussion on the topic of the day: The Sustainability of Brands and the Future. The discussion drew on the speakers’ real-life experiences. The conversation spanned the telecommunications, banking, luxury, retail, FMCG, travel and hotel industries; with each speaker giving his unique contribution to the meaning of sustainability. Among the various debates, Coca Cola spoke about how it adapts to international markets while NH Hotels confessed that one of their secrets is ‘no surprises’ to the customer and Orange gave some insight into its recent switch in name and logo from Amena.

The event provided an opportunity for IE students to question the speakers on their methods and on the importance of brands and marketing as a means to target, capture and keep loyal consumers. Amidst such a diverse group the one conclusion that emerged was that sustainability lies in constantly innovating and that through only these means, perhaps, a brand can last forever.

The IE Marketing Innovations Club thanks Daemon Quest for bringing us their first-class list of clients and for making the high quality of the Instituto de Empresa Marketing Day 2006 difficult to emulate.
