It is extremely interesting how students are guided, but not taught. This means, teachers give us guidelines, and students are the ones that do the research. In other words, Glion gives MBA students the tools to learn and conduct research about anything they need or want to. Due to the good job offers I have been receiving, I may confirm that Glion was a very valuable investment for my future. It allowed me to even skip levels in the job hierarchy.» Josefina Coleman - Argentina + + MBA in International Hospitality and Service Industries Management + + Graduated in June Revenue Manager for the Alvear Palace and Alvear Art Hotels + + Buenos Aires, Argentina 10 Glion Graduate School - A world of opportunities

11 Kempinski The Applied Business Project If you are studying a campus-based program, the ABP is a chance for you to work with managers from Glion s industry partners - major hospitality companies such as Kempinski, Nestlé Professional, Mövenpick, and InterContinental - to address the company s real, current business issues. Examples of Applied Business Projects with Kempinski In an ABP with Kempinski, a long-term partner of Glion, MBA students examined how to better motivate and retain employees within the Generation Y demographic, who comprise a majority of Kempinski s front-line workforce but have tended to be more transient than employees of other generations. Faculty members and managers collaborate to establish the aims and objectives for each project. You conduct a qualitative and/or quantitative investigation of the given problem, then offer insights and practical suggestions in a management report presented before the industry partner s decision makers. MBA students conducted focus-group interviews and data analysis of Gen Y employees in Europe, China, Thailand, and the Middle East. Employees said they could benefit from a career-planning program that would help them grow within the career hierarchy, as well as cross-training programs that would broaden their skill set. Finally, you reflect on your contribution in an individual project based on learning theories. You, the school, and the company all benefit. This study has led to further ABP projects with Kempinski, including the building of in-house training for GenY employees and a proposal for a social media recruitment strategy to be applied within the company. «The Applied Business Project is a remarkable chance to connect with the industry. I did my ABP for Kempinski on a very interesting topic: how the current Kempinski sales process across Europe impacts the top line. The ABP developed my business acumen and taught me how to conduct research in a pragmatic way. This MBA has helped me to advance my career in the hospitality industry. The ABP gave me the opportunity to enter the Kempinski Group. I started with an entry-level position in their headquarters as an Operations Coordinator. After one year I was promoted to Regional Operations Manager for Europe. I then moved on to become Regional Operations Manager for India, Middle East & Africa, based in Dubai.» Xavier Etcheberrigaray - United States + + MBA in International Hospitality and Service Industries Management, with a track in Marketing + + Graduated in Regional Operations Manager for Kempinski India, Middle East & Africa + + Dubai, UAE Glion Graduate School - A world of opportunities 11
