Today we had visits to two companies, Trigranit and CIB Bank. Trigranit is a privately-owned commercial (mostly retail) property developer with projects in several Central and Eastern European companies. CIB is a commercial bank, amazingly (since its parent Instituto SanPaolo has more deposits than loans) not one suffering too badly directly from the banking crisis. It’s been very interesting hearing more about the economic conditions in Hungary and how they are inextricably linked to those in the European Union (and vice versa).
It’s St Patrick’s day, so most of the group are planning to visit the big Irish pub here, Beckett’s. Hope they remember that tomorrow we have an early start!
In other news, I have just found out that this blog has been listed among the “100 best blogs for MBA students”, which you can find here. Also, the Financial Times yesterday ran a listing (not a ranking, except by declared number of enrolled students) of DL MBA programmes, in which Henley Business School more than held its own in a very wide-ranging field. In the same supplement, there is an article about the use of Web 2.0 approaches in online learning which has some quotes from me.
