Students do not read newspapers
“Students do not read enough newspapers. They should put more effort in analyzing current affairs and apply what they learn in universities to the news events; “ says my boss.
Here a small exercise to prove his point, using “hot” news issues and relate this to current reality for AIESEC, a global student organization.
· One of AIESEC’s biggest Global Partners is involved in merger talks. The question asked in the AI-ER application just gained a lot more significance. What to do when your partner company merges with another company and your champions lose impact in the organisation? What is to happen with the ABN-Amro partnership?
· Top management renumeration is a controversial topic in numerous countries at the moment, including The Netherlands. A top executive of a Dutch company was heavily criticized for cashing a huge bonus after bad performance in the board. In the end he gave the money back. This man happens to be an AIESEC-alumnus (1985).
· An African business men is donating a huge reward for the best African leader. He is going to develop an index and thus create a benchmark for accountable leaders. Interesting initiative for the GN Africa.
· Political leaders are quarrelling about total liberalization of the job market for Polish workers. New legislation is expected.
These are just a few examples. I think though that my boss has an excellent point.
