The City that never sleeps?
In: Rotterdam
27 May 2010Whoever thought that our Rotterdam hero Lee Towers had even an inch of impact on his home town must have been wrong. When he (Lee) sang about the “City that never sleeps” we all know he meant New York, but our Rotterdam hearts must have beaten faster at the prospect of being able “to make [...]
Mandeville
In: Erasmus
25 May 2010It was a happy reunion, last week’s Mandeville day (for an impression, including photographs, see www.mandevillelezing.nl). Jeroen van der Veer, my former colleague at Shell, gave a highly personal account of his leadership challenges and the way he tackled them as CEO. It was obviously my first Mandeville ceremony, and I had no clear idea of [...]
Indian Delegation visits Rotterdam
19 May 2010We were honoured today by a visit from a delegation from the Association of Indian Universities. The AIU is seeking to establish connections with European universities, and EUR hosted a morning meeting (that included representatives from Groningen and Nijmegen). It is fascinating to hear the growth projections for India. Today, there are roughly 500 universities [...]
Job Cohen with RSM
In: Uncategorized
18 May 2010STAR did it again: within a week following PM Balkenende’s address to RSM students, the ever-eager STAR team succeeded in staging Job Cohen, whose polls are suggesting a solid chance of becoming the next PM after the June 9 elections. Quite different from his predecessor, mr Cohen did not engage his audience in a guest [...]
BNR radio interview
17 May 2010Now and then, we are asked to comment in the press. EUR academics frequently appear in radio and tv interviews, next to their written contributions to the public debate. We have our own radio studio link, which I could test this morning in a live interview with BNR radio, together with my UvA colleague Karel [...]
CvB and deans learn about diversity
In: Uncategorized
11 May 2010If you want to learn about diversity and inclusion in the workplace, learning together is more powerful – and usually more fun – than going it alone. Of course, we can read a book or a memo to master the 10 easy (or not – so- easy) steps to increased diversity.
Prime Minister Balkenende teaches EUR students
In: Erasmus
10 May 2010I don’t know how they do it, but time and time again I am stunned by the ingenuity of our students. Today, STAR persuaded prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende to join us for a guest lecture on the impact of the economic crisis. There he stood, comfortably facing a lecture hall filled with predominantly RSM [...]
RSM HR summit
In: Erasmus
10 May 2010RSM regularly organises networking events. Last Friday, I was pleased to meet my old friends in the field of Human Resources again at the invitational HR summit. There was a good turnout to join such notable speakers as Michiel Meurs and Aad Jacobs. The theme of the summit was Conflicts in the Boardroom, so we discussed firsthand experiences [...]
Wiki-workshop for ESE bachelors
In: Uncategorized
6 May 2010I am greatly looking forward to spending 2 hours with the bachelors honours class of ESE this afternoon. (Who said I didn’t have to teach in this job??) In a 2 year program, ESE offers its best students the opportunity to engage in classes over and above their regular curriculum to deepen and enhance their academic [...]
Remembrance day
3 May 2010Tomorrow is May 4th, remembrance day in the Netherlands to honour those who gave their lives in conflicts around the world since 1940. Since a number of years, the customary ceremonial attention has faded somewhat. This year, 65 years after the end of WWII, we have decided to re-instate the remembrance ceremony in the main [...]
