]]> Generation Z: Addressing Leadership Challenges https://www.euruni.edu/blog/generation-z-adressing-leadership-challenges/ Tue, 02 Apr 2019 07:40:32 +0000 https://www.euruni.edu/blog/?p=26395 It is time to shift the focus of leadership studies from Millennials to Generation Z, particularly those who are joining the workforce today. This generation inhabits a world where change is occurring at a rapid pace; it is imperative for leaders to focus on these uncertainties and provide meaning, clarity, and direction.  Generational differences affect all aspects of organizational behavior and leadership, from organizational culture to employee motivation and performance. Sooner rather than later, Gen Z will replace the baby boomers and Generation X in the workforce and will become the majority. Managers need to adjust their leadership style to […]

It’s already underpinned the rise of bitcoin, and one analyst has predicted, it will be worth US$340m by 2021. Not bad for a technology which is only 10 years old. The world’s business community has realized the potential of blockchain, a decentralized ledger technology whose influence is spreading way beyond cryptocurrency, disrupting everything from travel to healthcare. The revolution is happening. At its simplest, blockchain is reliable, efficient and very fast way to process transactions, using a connected network of […]

]]> EU Faculty: Alain Berger https://www.euruni.edu/blog/eu-faculty-alain-berger-csr-impact-diversity/ Wed, 19 Apr 2017 09:55:19 +0000 https://www.euruni.edu/blog/?p=20586 Today, businesses release more information about themselves than ever before. In addition to traditional financial reporting, companies now detail their social, environmental and sustainability initiatives. This kind of reporting, commonly known as corporate social responsibility (CSR) serves two main purposes. The first is that it allows companies to focus on important social issues. Secondly, it protects companies from criticism for a lack of transparency. EU Switzerland lecturer Alain Berger recently defended his DBA thesis with the Grenoble School of Management around this topic. His thesis centered on the influence of board diversity on sustainability, environmental and social disclosure. In his […]

The basketball high school league is very popular and well-developed in Israel. All the big schools compete between themselves for prestige and exposure, and the league is broadcast every week on the national governmental television channel. I knew that if I wanted to become a professional basketball player, I needed to play in this league. The level, publicity and opportunities to improve were hugely attractive for an aspiring professional. The […]

What’s a guy from Liverpool doing in Barcelona? How did that happen? Simple. Love. My wife is from Barcelona. How did you get into teaching business? I started teaching many years ago at the University of Wales and always enjoyed it. I then spent around 20 years in industry – sometimes coaching and giving courses, so I guess teaching has always been there in the background. EU gave me the role of a teacher so I can dedicate more time teaching some of the things I had learned along […]
