Out of the box – how I am finding my “why” in life

Alexander Bergmann

What is my role in this life and who am I? Or maybe rather - who do I want to be? Let's be honest. That sounds quite philosophical. And not everyone might be able to give a concrete answer. You don't have to. Or do you? Let me take you on my journey and give you insights into how I constantly discover and develop my personal “why” to things in life, and why I believe it is important.

HEC Business Game 2019 – The MoF Perspective
Anne Postulka
Being one of the most influential and popular business games worldwide, the HEC Business Game (HBG) in Paris has been one of the go-to events on our bucket lists for a long time.
The idea to think of a new business, to develop it within 48 hours and then pitch it to investors, felt unlikely to me at first. However, when we were raising money by day four of the module, we felt like we were running a real business.

FS presents in MBA World Summit in Sydney
Shasha Yuan
The MBA World Summit is an annual event, it builds bridges between MBA programs all over the world and fosters a Global Leadership Community from the attending students. The MBA Summit prides itself as the pinnacle gathering for the global MBA students since 2014, through a journey from Hong Kong, Barcelona, Miami, Berlin, Cape Town; 2019 in Sydney and 2020 in Frankfurt. This year in March 2019, three of us, Katarina, Vaishali and Shasha, together with Annette Wright from programme management, went down under to Sydney to participate in the event.
I recently travelled to Paris to represent my school in the MBAT (MBA Tournament). It’s the MBA Olympics, and is a big deal in Europe! The event is a unique, one-of-its-kind tournament that brings together the brightest folks from the top B-schools of Europe and creates the ultimate amalgamation of competitiveness, sportsman spirit, fun and networking across 3 action-packed days.

Cominbing full-time work and a part-time MBA

Marcella Taylor

Almost two years ago, when I moved from Sao Paulo to Frankfurt to take over a position at the headquarters of the company that I’ve being working for the last 8 years, I thought that my new responsibilities at work, finding a flat, adjusting to a new life, getting used to the cold weather and learning the German language would be challenging enough to keep me busy for a little while.

Part-time MBA: Experiencing CEIBS and Shanghai

Aslam Khadaroo

One of the highlights of the Frankfurt School Part-time MBA is the one-week module abroad at CEIBS in Shanghai. It was one of the most exciting parts of the programme, many of us were looking forward to it and it was a fantastic experience for every student.

Strategy Insights from Dr. Theodor Weimer
Carl Wollenhaupt
The student initiative FS Economy & Politics (“EcoPol”) was delighted to host Dr. Theodor Weimer for a speech on the topic „strategische Wettbewerbsarena global tätiger Börsen" (“Strategic competitive environments of globally active stock exchanges”). Contrary to what many would have expected from the CEO of Deutsche Boerse and Member of the Board of Trustees of the FS, it turned out to be a masterclass in strategy on a very personal level.
As always, Frankfurt School is not leaving any stone unturned to help its students advance in their career. There is always something interesting going on in the school; right from cultural festivals to the highly invaluable company events, that not just allows the students to get in touch with representatives from top companies in Germany but also helps instil a feeling of camaraderie amongst the FS family.

Working student diary: Bain & Company
Henning Jerusalem
„I have learned one thing, I will never stop learning“, is one of the first things I see after I enter the Bain Office in Frankfurt - I am here to interview for a working student position. A few moments later I am officially a Bainie!
I spent my semester abroad at BI Norwegian Business School, the biggest business school in Norway and the second largest business school in Europe with about 20.000 students. BI stands for Bedriftsøkonomisk Institutt, which translates to business school in Norwegian and was founded in 1943.

Frankfurt School Chess Tournament – why Chess is relevant

Matteo Schubert

The world is becoming ever more complex. Satellites orbiting our atmosphere and fiber optic cables swirling through the earth underneath our feet have changed the way people connect and make decisions. As it turns out, chess is a great tool to help us analyze and understand real world problems.

Alumni Insights: Presentation Skills Workshop with Scott Rosen
Scott Rosen
In today’s marketplace, one of the most important talents we depend upon, often goes overlooked.  The ability to portray ourselves and our ideas to others in an effective manner, is a crucial element for almost every career path.
Of course, achievements also carry challenges and obstacles with them, and compromises have to be discussed and decided on. Although we are aware of these obstacles, we want to focus on finding solutions for them. This year our motto is: “Cooperation is key!”.
