DGDW 2012!!!!

Dear Partners:


As most of you already know, IESE hosts Europe's largest student-run Annual
Conference on Responsible Business - Doing Good and Doing Well. The 9th
Annual Conference is scheduled for February 24 - 25, 2012, and now is your
chance to get involved!



What is DGDW?

We see the conference as a platform for Sharing the most innovative and
relevant ideas on Responsible Business from Corporations, Academia and
Non-Profit Institutions. An opportunity to:

.         learn from and interact with key industry leaders and thinkers

.         network and explore real-world career opportunities

.         participate in thought-provoking debate

.         be part of one of IESE's BIGGEST events!



What can you expect?

The 8th Annual Doing Good and Doing Well Conference, that hosted an
impressive 779 attendees, was a great success! With over 150 panel speakers
bringing diverse experience from both for-profit and non-profit
perspectives, professionals and students alike were challenged to re-think
how to lead business beyond models that only focus on financial returns.



The aim this year is to reach a larger audience, make the conference more
interactive, and introduce new elements such as the Social Venture Capital
Investment Competition and the Sustainability fair.



What's in store for this year?

With the main theme of Achieving Sustainability in Business and Society, the
2012 conference will include:



. Keynote speakers from Academia, Corporations, Civil Society &
NGOs

.  20 panel discussions under four key pillars of Sustainability -
Innovation, Growth, Collaboration & Impact

.  Parallel exciting events including the Cleantech Venture Seminar,
Social Venture Capital Investment Competition, Career Fair and
Sustainability Fair

. All this and more over 2 exciting, engaging and fun-packed days!

Title: Experiencing Repatriation - Prof. Sebastian Reiche
 

Moving to a different culture is associated with a range of challenges that include settling into a new city , adjusting to a new cultural environment, building new social relationships, and many more. When we leave our home country we tend to be aware of some of the challenges that await us. However, we often place much less attention on the return to our home country after completing a stay abroad. The aim of this session is to discuss the challenges and issues related to the process of repatriating to your home countries. The discussion will be organized around a specific case, which will be distributed to you and which will also give you a taste of the type of case discussions your partners have been experiencing in the MBA program.

Case material will be distributed in class:
