Hello and welcome back to Madrid!

We hope you had a great summer and would like to invite you the 20th of September to our "BARBECUE CAPEA OF THE YEAR".

A capea is a fun bullfight with small cows, and for sure a must do while in Spain! We will have time to hang out at the pool, listen to some good music, eat a typical Spanish barbecue-"parrillada" and spend some quality time to meet people from all the intakes, sections, courses, etc... it´s an event open to everybody!

The bus will take us from Madrid to a small town where we can relax by the pool, drink sangria, wrestle some cattle (some small ones, don't panic), and eat BBQ! We will also have free drinks DURING the barbecue. Before and after that, a beer or sangria at the poolbar or the barbecue bar will be around 2 Euros. Copas will be approximately 3-4 Euros (confirmation pending).

The idea is to meet at 12.00 @ Serrano 99 and to go all together by bus. We will be back for dinner around 21.30 to 22.00, so everyone is ok for class on Monday ;-) The ticket price is € 40 and includes everything as described.

 And now what?? How do you get a ticket?? You can buy your ticket at IE's Student Office on Serrano, 99 until the 14^th of September at 14:00.

Arabia Saudí es el principal exportador de petróleo en el mundo con más de 11 millones de barriles diarios, lo que supone el 10 por ciento del total mundial y el 30% de los miembros de la OPEC. Sus reservas de 260.000 millones de barriles, la quinta parte del mundo, son las más numerosas. La economía saudí es la más grande de la región del Consejo de Cooperación del Golfo. Su Producto Interior Bruto (PIB) ha crecido una media del 3,9% durante los últimos años. Arabia Saudí representa el 6% del total de la producción mundial de productos químicos, cuenta con una posición estratégica y una infraestructura petroquímica muy desarrollada, al igual que su sistema bancario, y es un país que se encuentra inmerso en un proceso de privatización de entidades públicas. Arabia Saudí ha permitido la constitución de sociedades de capital 100% extranjero en muchos sectores de su economía, lo que proporciona al país cierta ventaja frente a otras naciones del Golfo.

Arabia Saudí busca inversión directa extranjera en los sectores del gas, telecomunicaciones y tecnología de la información, electricidad, tratamiento de aguas, ferrocarriles, industria petroquímica, educación, sanidad y servicios relacionados con el sector minero.

La visita de los Reyes de España a la capital saudita (Riad) en abril de 2006 propició que el ministro de Industria, Turismo y Comercio español y el Gobernador de Sagia (Agencia de Promoción de Inversiones Extranjeras de Arabia Saudí) firmaran un Appri (Acuerdo de Promoción y Protección Recíproca de Inversiones) donde se acordaba un tratamiento justo, equitativo, plena protección y seguridad a la inversión española y derecho a la libre transferencia de las rentas obtenidas con esa inversión, entre otros.

El Embajador Alabart nació en Madrid en 1947 y es licenciado en Derecho. Desde el año 1972 ha ocupado destacados puestos en el servicio español de exteriores. Con una amplia trayectoria en las relaciones internacionales, ocupa el cargo de Embajador de España en Arabia Saudi, desde 2005.

A lo largo de la charla el Embajador comentará también las oportunidades que se pueden presentar en aquél país para los inversores extranjeros. Tras sus palabras, habrá la posibilidad de abrir un turno de preguntas y establecer un diálogo entre los asistentes y el Embajador.

El acto se celebrará en español y tendrá lugar en el aula M-101 de María de Molina 27, a las 19,00h.

Debido a la limitación de plazas, se ruega confirmar asistencia enviando email a mariola.fajardo@ie.edu

Once again we would like to thank our Students for their collaboration.

On February 26^th, 2009, Geoffrey Phillip Martin, a Personal Trainer in Madrid and formerly an MBA student and Strategy Consultant, invited the IE community to presentation about the "Sustainable MBA Student".

"There were two key objectives of the presentation", Geoffrey comments: 

"1. Educate people about the importance of prioritizing their health and fitness;

2. Give people the tools for actually finding time in their day and then using that time as effectively as possible to achieve their fitness goals.

With the above in mind, I educate concerning the health risks associated with poor physical health.  I then provide the knowledge concerning metrics for gauging your own health, effective exercise routines, techniques for optimizing concentration in study routines, tools for dealing with stress, advice with regard to nutrition and tips on weight management.

Examples are provided of balanced workouts and also the 15 minute workout (or "hotel" workout) that have been developed over the years for executive clients.

The concepts of sustainability, long term planning and transformational change that are applied daily in the MBA classroom are projected back at the student.  Ultimately your aim is to be a good role model for your subordinates or family, evidencing that it is possible to be successful from a career viewpoint AND be a fit and healthy individual."

The presentation was relevant not only for MBA students, but for all current or future professionals. Here you can find some comments of the participants:

"It was very informative and useful. I went to the gym twice since then (first exercise since I've been in Spain!)"

"Geoff's session was extremely informative and simple. He was talking to all of us ... not selling or consulting like a typical "Know All" consultant!"

"I thought it was a great presentation.  The lessons learned extend far beyond this year in the MBA program as we will all be very busy in our post-MBA lives.  Geoff showed how (relatively) easy it is to stay fit without spending hours in the gym.  Though I exercise regularly, I still learned some things in the presentation."

"- The presentation is a unique one but has an immense relevancy to the MBA curriculum: how to deal with stress, eliminate or reduce pressure, improve physical performance to maximize the mental one.

- Geoff has been able to transmit the concepts in a very interactive (with physical exercises or examples in class), spontaneous, fresh and nice way. Enjoyable!!

- The arguments were presented with a professional cut and attention to specific body exercises, diet suggestions, tips and tricks to maximize the students' benefit
- I loved it, it is key to highlight how much is important to have a balance between the job (or the MBA) and the free time/personal priorities we have.

- Geoff was seminal in inspiring us to have a balanced lifestyle even in the future when we, as managers, will have to set the example for our team."

Do you want to win 4 tickets for the movies (whichever movie and whenever you want) or alternatively you prefer 4 tickets for a theater show (ESCP-EAP TEATRO ARTMANIAC presents Los Figurantes March 8th at 20.00)???

2 PERSONS who guess the most amount of nominations WILL WIN each 2 TICKETS for the MOVIES OF THEIR CHOICE or alternatively, if they prefer, for a THEATER SHOW (ESCP-EAP TEATRO ARTMANIAC presents Los Figurantes,March 8th at 20.00).

How?? You will find the sheets at the front desk of Serrano 99 or you can print them from this LINK

How much?? To submit the sheet with your guesses to the IE Acting Club you must pay ONLY 2 EUROS.

Where??  You can find a member of the IE Acting Club in the garden of Serrano 99 between 13.30 and 15.30 tomorrow, 20th of February.

Thanks a lot for participating and helping the IE Acting Club!

Congratulations to the IE students whose teams placed 2nd and 3rd in this year's CFA Competition! Ahmed, Ameya, Dominik, Helga, Miguel, Alexander, Ankit, Chiristopher, Jantiene and Norma all worked very hard to realize such an accomplishment. Hats off to you!!!!

Here's what a few of our champions had to say:

"The competition was a great occasion to put the theory learned at IE into practice. It was a truly unique opportunity to get an insight on how Analysts value companies in a very challenging environment" - Dominik Lanz

"It is a great feeling coming second though we would have loved to win. It was an interesting and educative experience and we overcame several challenegs and in the end I must say it was a great learning curve. I thank IE and the CFA Institute of Spain for giving us the opportunity." - Ameya Prabhu

"Competition was fierce, but with the skills that we have acquired during the past several months at IE, we managed to successfully place 2nd and 3rd in Spain. This certainly reflects the level of IE's education and the strong mentorship we received throughout the process." - Ahmed Al Balooshi

You can read all about the competition below.

The International Advisory Board held their 2008 annual meeting in Segovia. Previously, they met with IE students to take part in an elegant and enjoyable reception, in which there were many networking opportunities. The Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando was the perfect backdrop to hold the event.

IMBA Representatives invited everybody!

IE congratulates a New Generation of Business Leaders on their Graduation Ceremony

More than 200 IE students from four “MBA and General Management” programs have been awarded their masters title and are ready to succeed in today’s global business world.

Madrid, Spain (December 21st, 2007) – With a large number of students, alumni and visitors on hand, the IE hosted its traditional Graduation Ceremony featuring relevant representatives from industry leading companies such as Vocento (Belarmino García, CEO) and the Vega Group (Luis Carlos Infante Sánchez, Managing Director and Global Head of Human Resources).

It was 11.00 am; the room which had been reserved for the event was completely crowded; all the attendants were dressed in smart business clothes and in the front rows were sitting those of IE’s students whose skills and high level of commitment had led them to succeed in graduating from their masters program.

IE’s Dean – Santiago Íñiguez – started off by congratulating all the students for their valuable performance during the last months. He recognized their effort and hard work and underscored that it was now the right time to put into practice the knowledge and personal skills they had developed over the last academic period. He also emphasized the important contribution of the graduates’ friends, families and other people who had provided the necessary support to make it happen.

The event counted with the presence of selected personalities from Instituto de Empresa who are now playing an important role as the leaders of Top Industry companies. In particular, Luis Carlos Infante (Executive MBA 1987-1988) and Belarmino García (President of IE Alumni Association), delighted us with some of their experiences and work insights from their professional careers. Highlights of their presentations included personal stories rooted in their entrepreneurial experience in different industry sectors.

Afterwards the presentation of diplomas to each of the graduates, by Margje Geurts (Managing Director, International MBA), the new promotion of graduates 06/07 were welcomed by Belarmino García to the IE Alumni Association.

As part of the ceremony, those students and professors who had outperformed during the academic period received a special mention. Simon Berheide, Mathieu Frison, Amparo Marín de la Bárcena and Juan Antonio Pons, won the prize for the best student of each of their programs; Carl Kock won the prize of best professor of the executive programs and David Bach was awarded best professor of the post-graduate programs.

Finally, to conclude an event that had been full of enthusiasm and excitement, the auditorium stood up to listen to the Gaudeamus Ignitur which rounded off the Municipal Conference Center by an atmosphere filled up with feeling and strength.

Elated by the success of the session, the attendants were invited to a cocktail that was served in the foyer. Smiles, greetings, congratulations, joy … IE business School hat furnished another generation of tomorrow’s leaders ready to succeed in the global business world.
