"Why Father knows best: Business schools are hiring monks to teach morality to students"
for TimesOnline, UK (February 2010)

Hélène Cristini, a professor at the Monaco Business School at the International University of Monaco, says: "At first glance, business ethics might seem an oxymoron. The two terms don’t sit easily with one another, which is why people are sceptical about whether it is possible or desirable to teach ethics on an MBA. Unfortunately, the financial crisis has shown that there’s an urgent need to reintroduce ethics and morality in business."

"A notch above" by Sarah Murray
for FT Online, UK (December 2009)

After a rough ride during the height of the financial crisis, things could be starting to look up for the luxury industry. However, the shock to a sector accustomed until recently to double-digit growth has been severe. And this, say business schools, is why a management education programme focused on luxury is even more relevant to industry professionals than it was in the past.

"Luxury Management Remains in Style"
by Alison Damast for BusinessWeek (Internet), US (January 2009)

..."Rupal Patel took a break from her career as a patent lawyer in Chicago to enroll in an MBA program with a luxury specialization this fall, trading in the Windy City for the sparkling shores of the French Riviera. A student at the International University of Monaco´s business school in Monte Carlo, she is spending the year taking classes with titles such as "Luxury Consumer Behavior" and "Managing Luxury Brands," and is planning on a career in anti-counterfeiting.

Despite the hit the economy is taking on the luxury industry, Patel is optimistic her degree will give her an edge in the job market when she graduates, she says.

"I think being focused and having a specialization, especially in luxury, makes a person more marketable in this economic climate," Patel says. "The ultra-wealthy will always buy luxury goods, regardless of the fluctuations in the economy, so that kind of gives us some hope."

Patel is one of a growing number of students who, despite the uncertain times, are setting their sights on a career in the luxury sector. In the past decade or so, more and more schools, many based in Europe, have started to offer MBA degrees in luxury-brand management. The programs, which give students the chance to specialize in sectors such as fragrance and cosmetics and wine and spirits, have become increasingly popular as top luxury brands have seen double-digit increases in profits in recent years.".

for Expansion Mexico by Ira Franco and Marina Delaunay, December 2008.

..."La precariedad ya se siente. Para Boris Porkovich, vicedecano de la Universidad Internacional de Mónaco, una escuela de negocios con un MBA en la industria del lujo, la crisis es un tema sensible (para las empresas), más ahora que el concepto de lujo se ha convertido en algo accesible para un público más amplio.

"Mucho del gasto en lujo de alta categoría es financiado en deuda", dice Porkovich. L'Oréal , por ejemplo, ya advirtió en su reporte anual que no tendrá un crecimiento de dos dígitos por primera vez en 20 años, y la mayoría de las acciones bursátiles de los grandes grupos, incluyendo al líder, LVMH (con más de 60 marcas en su portafolio, como Louis Vuitton y Moët Hennessy) y, el segundo mayor, PPR (donde se agrupan otras, como Yves Saint Laurent y Gucci) han bajado más de 50% en lo que va del año"..

"Quattro regole d'oro per superare la selezione"
by Luigi Dell'Olio for La Repubblica.it, Italy (November 2008)

"I temi della selezione di talenti e professionisti sono stati al centro della Conference on International Human Resources Management che si è svolta nei giorni scorsi presso l'International University of Monaco. Un convegno che ha visto la presenza di numerose multinazionali, chiamate a portare le loro testimonianze sulle strategie di selezione e fidelizzazione delle risorse migliori. Come la catena Nt Hoteles che ha presentato il proprio sistema IT a sostegno delle strategie di hr: dalla reportistica alla gestione e aggiornamento delle informazioni sui candidati tramite fogli di calcolo, ai siti Internet per il recruiting verso candidati già in forza al gruppo o esterni, che contano complessivamente all'incirca 16mila profili. Tecnologia che, in ogni caso, non è sufficiente a superare i problemi tradizionali della selezione di alti profili. Una ricerca presentata da V. Hospitality nel corso dell'evento ha evidenziato che l'85% di aziende trova difficoltà nella ricerca delle figure desiderate e il 70% si trova costretta a formare in proprio il personale appena assunto. In particolare, l'It non riesce a superare i vantaggi dati dal colloquio diretto, che consente al candidato e al selezionatore di avere sensazioni sulla proposta. Anche se apre nuove frontiere, come la ricerca di profili in linea con le esigenze della società tramite i siti di social network. Sempre più spesso, infatti, i selezionatori visitano siti come Linkedin per individuare potenziali candidati o magari solo per monitorare le mosse delle aziende concorrenti sul fronte delle risorse umane."

"...Premièrement, il est temps pour les business schools d'accepter que la mondialisation est belle et bien finie, souligne le professeur Boris Porkovich, vice-doyen des programmes de 3eme cycle de l'International University of Monaco. Elle doivent adopter et célébrer la "Generation Globale". C'est dans cet esprit que nous proposons une offre de formation innovante qui combine les savoir-faire americain et européen. Les etudiants vivent une expérience interculturelle et polyglotte qui leur assurera, par la suite, une transition plus aisée vers le monde des affaires. Ils seront prêts à assumer les responsabilités et devenir des leaders innovateurs...Selon lui, cette nouvelle donne pourrait précipiter certains changements : des curriculums revus afin de motiver les étudiants à penser, analyser, créer; une pédagogie structurée autour de nouveaux principes; de plus petites classes pour favoriser le développement personnel et le coaching individuel; rehausser les traits de caractère ordinaires des institutions partenaires à travers l'échange personnel."

"Studenten auf dem Luxustrip"
for Financial Times Deutschland (Internet), Germany (June 2008)

"...Ein Studium sollte auch praktisch sein: Und wo Luxus, Exklusivität und Glamour das Tagesgeschehen prägen, enden viele Gedankengänge kreativer Studenten bei "Wie kann man damit Geld verdienen?". John Mclean, Absolvent der International University of Monaco (IUM) beantwortete diese Frage für sich ganz exklusiv: mit einem eigenen Modelabel, das den eleganten Lebensstil des Fürstentums Monaco wiedergibt. Nach fast drei Jahren Planung startete der Schotte sein Unternehmen im vergangenen Jahr. Zum Großen Preis von Monaco präsentierte er kürzlich seine erste Kollektion von sehr exklusiven Damentaschen unter dem Namen Mont Charles de Monaco. Mclean, der 2006 sein Studium an der IUM begann, setzte für seine Ausbildung vor allem auf den guten Ruf der Hochschule im Bereich Luxusgüter und Dienstleistungen, wo er den auf Luxusbranding spezialisierten MBA belegte.
"Die International University of Monaco war ein ideales Umfeld für die Entwicklung meiner Idee für die Modemarke. Obwohl ich über umfangreiche Marketingkenntnisse verfügte, hielt ich es für wichtig, mein Wissen in Bereichen wie Finanz-und Rechnungswesen zu vertiefen", so Mclean.
Nun plant der Firmengründer, seine Marke weltweit auszubauen, eine Damen- und Herrenmodelinie zu entwerfen, dazu Schuhe, Uhren, Brillen und Parfüms. Absolventen der IUM will er in den nächsten Jahren gern bei sich einstellen. Außerdem bietet Mclean Praktika für Studenten, die ihre Kenntnisse im Luxussektor vertiefen wollen..."

IUM's Professor of Economics, Dr Ingo Böbel, says: "We find that students coming from new EU countries wish to become fluent in French or Italian so they can relocate to Europe after graduation, so we offer free courses in these languages."
German Belyave, a student from Moscow, is improving his French at IUM. "I speak English but even though lots of people in Eastern Europe speak Russian, this opens up further opportunities for me..."

"Neues aus den Business-Schulen
Woran Business Schools forschen"
for Financial Times Deutschland (Internet), Germany (April 2008)

"...Die International University of Monaco ging unterdessen der Frage auf den Grund, warum Führungskräfte einander vertrauen. Forscher der Uni sammelten über drei Jahre Daten von 700 Führungskräften aus 38 Ländern, um herauszufinden, welche Kriterien geschäftliches Vertrauen beeinflussen. Integrität? Guter Ruf? Arbeitsmoral? So schenken vor allem Amerikaner und Finnen Geschäftspartnern aus dem gleichen Sprachraum und mit ähnlichem kulturellem Hintergrund schneller Vertrauen als anderen. Chinesen ist eine solche Ähnlichkeit eher unwichtig, so die Studie ("What makes Executives trust each other?")...."

"WARUM FÜHRUNGSKRÄFTE EINANDER VERTRAUEN"
for MBA24 (Internet), Germany (February 2008)

"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...."

"What makes executives trust each other"
by Maria André for CHEF, Sweden (February 2008)

"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."

"Università, la finanza non balla da sola"
by Donatella Giampietro for Il Corriere della serra, Italy (September 2008)

"Grazie alle sollecitazioni dei nostri studenti e alla continua richiesta di professionisti con competenze interdisciplinari -spiega Franco Quillico, docente dello IUM di Monaco et del Politecnico -gli MBA europei ed i pochi nostrani si sono adeguati a formare skill con competenze non strettamente finanziarie, ma anche con une certa sensibilità ai macro cambiamenti di geo-politica e demografia."
