"In den Jahren 2004 bis 2006 sammelten die Forscher Francis Bidault, José de La Torre, Michelle Sisto und Casimir de Rham, beide Wirtschaftsprofessoren an der International University of Monaco, Daten von mehr als 700 Führungskräften aus 38 Ländern. Die Geschäftsleute wurden mit einer Reihe von Fragen zu möglichen wirtschaftlichen Szenarien konfrontiert. Ihre Antworten wurden dahingehend ausgewertet, in welchem Ausmaß Vertrauen in Geschäftsbeziehungen (z. B. Integrität, guter Ruf, Arbeitsmoral, etc.) die Beantwortung der Fragen beeinflusste. Die Forscher untersuchten die Antworten ebenfalls getrennt im Hinblick auf die Staatsangehörigkeit der Befragten mit dem Ziel herauszufinden, in welchem Ausmaß unterschiedliche Nationalitäten spezifische Vertrauensmerkmale entfalten...."
"Amerikanska och finska chefer känner större förtroende för personer med samma språkbakgrund som de själva. Det visar en ny studie från universitetet i Monaco...
Språk och kulturell bakgrund spelade inte så stor roll för chilenare och kineser. Undersökningen visade i stället att kineser är generellt vaksamma i affärssituationer för att undvika att bli utnyttjade."
"A l'Université Internationale de Monaco, on pallie par l'originalité la nouveauté du cursus, lancé en 2006, et la relative méconnaissance de l'école dans le petit monde des recruteurs parisiens. Chez nous, on sélectionne les étudiants en fonction de leur projet. La plupart ont une idée de création d'entreprise qu'on peaufine ensemble pendant 16 mois, raconte Sandrine Ricard, directrice du cursus à l'IUM. Ainsi, cette journaliste japonaise qui fonde à Tokyo sa maison d'édition autour d'un guide des plus beaux hôtels du monde. Cette créatrice indienne qui ouvre une boutique de luxe à Bombay..."
"...En revanche, si les femmes sont de plus en plus nombreuses à travailler, leur nombre diminue plus on monte dans la hiérarchie... D'ailleurs, Sophie De Lorenzo, directrice des carrières à l'International University of Monaco, constate que "le marché sur la région n'est pas très généreux en terme de rémunération. Les emplois les mieux payés sont encore réservés aux hommes."...Alors en réaction les femmes sont de plus en plus nombreuses à créer leur propre entreprise...Sophie De Lorenzo, qui accompagne les étudiants dans les début de leur vie professionnelle en témoigne : "Nous avons effectivement beaucoup de nos étudiantes de MBA qui ont des projets de création d'entreprise."
"...il y a un énorme besoin de gens talentueux...comment devenir la perle rare tant recherchée? Si l'on en croit les professionnels, en commençant par oublier son âme de midinette en pamoison devant un sac griffé : Je me refuse à recruter des étudiants que le luxe fait fantasmer! Ils doivent certes être passionnés mais pas se placer comme des consonmmateurs ou des fans. Ils doivent être professionnels! affirme le docteur Sandrine Ricard, directrice du Master of Science in Luxury Goods and Services de l'Université Internationale de Monaco..."
"..students are exposed to all the academic and applied high-level management knowledge that goes with a full-time EMBA, plus an additional qualification... It is a model that the International University of Monaco is opting for when it re-launches its EMBA programme next year. From January 2008, the university will be offering an EMBA with a specialisation that sounds ideally suited to its location: “Private Banking and Wealth Management”. As at Duke, students opting for the specialisation will receive a full EMBA plus an additional certificate if they are successful. In this case, they will be certified wealth managers rather than health managers. Boris Porkovich, vice-dean of the university, notes that wealth management, like hedge funds, has become very trendy at the moment and that trendy things sometimes have a habit of “going away” because they lack solid academic grounding. Providing an EMBA with a specialised track in the subject is the University of Monaco’s way of trying to ensure that this subject has more chance of sticking around."
"E embora várias universidades já prestem mais atenção ao luxo enquanto disciplina de um curso de negócios, há uma escola europeia que está a ganhar uma reputação mundial de excelência em estudos do luxo: MBA ou curso de especialização para executivos, a International University of Monaco (IUM) oferece aos seus alunos um master em Bens e Serviços de Luxo."
Focalizzati sul lato promozione e vendita anche i corsi della monegasca IUM: “Gli instrumenti di marketing più efficaci per affermarsi nel settore sono le public relation”, racconta Lorenzo Pisano, docente di Real estate in questa scuola, “sempre più utili risultano poi le tecniche di promozione classiche come la pubblicità”.
L’università di Monaco progetta lo sbarco in Italia L’istituto sta valutando l’ipotesi di aprire un campus a Carimate. Il distaccamento, focalizzato su design e moda, dovrebbe essere operativo entro la fine dell’anno...«L’università di Monaco ha di per sé una vocazione internazionale», ha spiegato a MFF Boris Porkovich, docente dello Ium che sta seguendo questo progetto. «Dopo aver aperto un campus a Taiwan, abbiamo focalizzato la nostra attenzione sull’Italia, paese che esercita una straordinaria fascinazione a livello internazionale per quanto riguarda la moda, il design, il turismo e il lifestyle più in generale».
"Specialisation is also an increasing selling-point…That's precisely what the International University of Monaco has been doing in the 21 years since launching its maiden programme. The school -whose 100 per cent foreign intake has earned it a number one global ranking for student diversity in the Economist- steers candidates into one of three pathways… The more MBAs are linked to their local communities, the more successful they'll be, declares associate dean of graduate programmes Boris Porkovich. Our specialisms are closely related to what people associate with Monaco."
"Not all board games are as successful as Cluedo, Scrabble or Monopoly, but a team of MBA students at the International University of Monaco (IUM) hope that the board game they have created as part of their MBA programme will prove as big a hit as some of the classics. The MBA class was given the task of inventing a board game for the luxury goods market. The MBA students worked on game concepts, then a team from Geoffrey Parker assessed the ideas and selected one game to develop commercially."
"Un programme de 10 mois et 3 spécialisations : l'ingénierie financière, la gestion des fonds d'investissement/capitaux privés et la gestion de patrimoine international, voilà la carte d'identité du nouveau Master en Finance (MFIN) que propose l'International University of Monaco (IUM) à partir de Septembre 2007."
“High concept was the fashion in Hollywood in the 1980s, and with it the elevator pitch…Now, in what might be pitched as “Dead Poets Society in a lift”, Bill Lightfoot, a management professor, is bringing the art of high concept to students at the International University of Monaco. The elevator pitch is not just a useful tool for Hollywood writers, it is also, he says, highly relevant for entrepreneurs. Starts-ups usually need resources, whether it is funding or specialist advisers. There is a need for entrepreneurs to share a promising business idea and persuade others of its merits. With entrepreneurs, the opportunity to talk to people about their idea, whether it’s for one or ten minutes, is something that happens all the time, he says. The elevator pitch is a concise, clear and to-the-point presentation format – perfect for using at an opportunistic moment.”
