I am now back in Zurich (I arrived Saturday evening) !
Dubai and Abu Dhabi were, as always, a very interesting experience. The first event in Dubai was oversubscribed and the folks at [Kempinski, Mall of the Emirates www.kempinski-dubai.com] had to add chairs on a regular basis. Around 70 people attended and over 25 registered for either November or January.

Abu Dhabi was less crowded, but still a success. I probably picked the day wrong as it was the last day of Ramadan and many were possibly busy with Eid preparation.

Sincere thanks to all those students who attended the event and spent their time to act as ambassadors of the college and share their valuable experience.

I am now in Zurich in the midst of our Harvard residential elective. Prof. Duffill is leading the course and I will be visiting tomorrow morning with a case study about Rwanda.

This is quite unique and interesting: management is usually focusing on a very capitalistic facet of business. The Rwanda case is about National Economic Transformation and hopefully will get our MBA students to think on how good management can play a role in such a difficult situation and a problematic country.
