Launch of new-look library
10 In January the School celebrated the opening of the restructured and refurbished library with new mezzanine gallery. An official ceremony to mark the occasion took place on 26th January and was led by Professor Arnoud De
Meyer and Professor Dame Sandra Dawson. Generous donations received from the business school’s alumni, other wellwishers and friends of Cambridge University amounted to over £137,000, for which the
School is extremely grateful. The mezzanine gallery project provides much needed additional space in the existing library. Professor Arnoud De Meyer, Director, Judge Business School commented, “We are
thrilled to mark the completion of this project. Research is at the very heart of the School and our library is a vital ‘information gateway’ where interdisciplinary collaboration and the dissemination of ideas can
take place. That so many of our alumni and friends provided such generous donations is testament to the School’s ethos of a virtuous circle of life-long learning.”
Celebrating CfEL’s Enterprise Tuesday Aspiring entrepreneurs returned to Judge Business School in May to receive their prized ‘Certificates in Enterprise’ from the organisers of the popular and highly successful Enterprise Tuesday programme. Professor Arnoud De Meyer, Director, Judge Business School, and Dr Shai Vyakarnam, Director, Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (CfEL), presented the certificates during a special presentation ceremony. Enterprise Tuesday is a free evening programme managed by the Centre for
Entrepreneurial Learning (CfEL) which is open to students, alumni and staff of the University of Cambridge, as well as other Universities and members of the local hitech business community. It aims to introduce participants to the world of business and inspire them to pursue their entrepreneurial ambition. Over 2000 people attended Enterprise Tuesday from October 2006 to March 2007, with 45% from the University of Cambridge and 24% from the local business community. Some of the awardees
have successfully started up their own businesses. Dele Ogunjumelo left ARM (software company) in 2006 to start up Niche Mobile Creations Ltd with the aim of developing mobile applications for niche markets. Dele commented: “I have attended Enterprise Tuesday sessions since 2004 in order to gain entrepreneurial skills as I have always had a desire to start my own company. In fact, I commuted from Manchester every Tuesday so I could attend all the sessions this year.” Niche Mobile Creations has
recently won an award for a local business plan competition held in Manchester. Dele said: “I have had support from the Manchester Science Enterprise Centre in terms of advice and resources. However, Enterprise Tuesday has also been very useful and beneficial. The best thing about the programme was the chance to hear from and speak to real entrepreneurs.” For more information on CfEL and the programmes on offer visit: www.cfel.jbs.cam.ac.uk

Fulbright Distinguished Scholar Award awarded to Dr Mark de Rond Dr Mark de Rond, Director of the MPhil in Innovation, Strategy and Organisation Programme and University Reader in Strategy at the School, has been awarded one of only two Fulbright Distinguished Scholar Awards for 2007/08. The award forms part of a scheme of educational grants, considered one of the most prestigious award programmes worldwide. Presented annually, the Fulbright Distinguished Scholar Awards are offered to exceptional postdoctoral lecturers and academics as recognition of their potential as leaders in their chosen fields. Each award of £15,000 enables the recipient to spend a period of time researching or lecturing in the US, facilitating an exchange of persons, knowledge and skills between the US and the UK.
Dr Mark de Rond’s nomination was supported by his current original research into the negotiation, collaboration and competitive dynamics of high-performance teams, based on a seven-month observation of the Cambridge rowing crew, which will be the subject of a new book due to be published in 2008. This follows on from his first book, Strategic Alliances as Social Facts: Business, Biotechnology, and Intellectual History, which won the 2005 George R.

New director for recently established centre
“I hope that the Cambridge Centre for Energy Studies can play its part in the process of responding to 12
one of the greatest challenges facing the world in the 21st century”
In an exciting move for the School, Nick Butler has been appointed as Director of the recently established Cambridge Centre for Energy Studies (CCES). Based at Judge Business School, and building on the long tradition of energy research at the University of Cambridge, the Cambridge Centre for Energy Studies will examine some of the key issues affecting energy security worldwide. Arguing that the University can and should use its knowledge to support the realisation of public policy in the UK and internationally, Mr Butler commented: “As global
demand for energy continues to rise, and energy security concerns become ever more important, I believe Cambridge has an influential role to play. Within the University we have people with the knowledge, the independence of judgement and the international reach to make a major contribution. By drawing upon these diverse resources, I hope that the Cambridge Centre for Energy Studies can play its part in the process of responding to one of the greatest challenges facing the world in the 21st century.”
Prior to joining the School, Nick Butler was Group Vice President for Policy and Strategy Development at BP (20022006). He is Chairman of the Centre for European Reform, and a member of the International Advisory Board, Yale, and the Executive Committee of the Centre for China in the World Economy, at Tsinghua University in Bejing. He is also a member of the Faculty of the World Economic Forum.
terminology that can be fiercely misleading if interpreted restrictively, rather than as a prerequisite to success in all sorts of businesses. In this new age of ideas, the most successful business leaders are also the most creative. They are willing to take risks to come up with great ideas that inspire and involve coworkers and customers alike. They use both their instinct to generate creative sparks and their analytical skills to successfully take these ideas to market in the form of products and experiences, creating blue
oceans and developing sustainable competitive advantage. The event was a great example of the value that can be achieved through a natural high-synergy partnership between two organisations, an ideas corporation and a university, who are both global leaders in generating ideas. Their indepth association enables the Cambridge MBA to bridge the gap between academia and the commercial world of business through creativity.

Creativity Workshop for Cambridge MBAs The Creativity Workshop, a unique project organised through close collaboration between Judge Business School and Kevin Roberts, CEO Worldwide of Saatchi & Saatchi, took place at the School in January 2007 for the School’s MBA students. The Creativity Workshop, a two-day, hands-on event, was run by Richard Hytner, Deputy Chairman at Saatchi & Saatchi, Jasper Nelissen, Project Director of Reinvention at Saatchi & Saatchi and Cambridge MBA alumnus, and Allègre Hadida, Lecturer in Strategy, at the School.

Professor Arnoud De Meyer, Director of Judge Business School, Professor of Management Studies (co-authored with Christoph H. Loch and Michael T. Pich) ‘Managing the unknown: A new approach to managing high uncertainty and risk in projects’ ‘Managing the Unknown’ offers a new way of looking at the problem of managing projects in novel and unknown environments. This book shows how to manage two fundamental approaches (Trial and Error learning and Selectionism) that, in combination, offer the possibility of coping with unforeseen influences that inevitably arise in novel projects. Publisher: Wiley ISBN-13: 978-0471693055

Publisher: PowerHouse Books ISBN-13: 978-1576872673
Dr Matthias Holweg, University Senior Lecturer in Operations Management and Director of the Centre for Competitiveness and Innovation (co-authored with Frits K. Pil) ‘The Second Century: Reconnecting Customer and Value Chain through Build-to-Order: Moving beyond Mass and Lean Production in the Auto Industry’ Matthias Holweg and Frits Pil provide a comprehensive look at the dysfunctional nature of current valuechain strategies, then systematically discuss the product and process changes needed to bring about responsiveness to customer needs through build-to-order. Publisher: The MIT Press ISBN-13: 978-0262582629
Professor Arnoud De Meyer, Director of Judge Business School, Professor of Management Studies ‘Global future: the next challenge for Asian business’ This book reveals how Asia’s giants have grown into multinational companies and provides insight into how today’s globalizers can achieve the same success. The book offers a combination of case studies from business leaders, authoritative material on business strategy, and a “globalization staircase” framework to show how Asian companies have succeeded in the past and can potentially succeed in the future. By looking at three distinct stages of Asian companies’ globalization – from early pioneers, to current network builders, to today’s newcomers – the authors paint a rich picture of how Asian companies at different levels of development can best meet the challenges of a global future.

Professor Michael Pollitt, Assistant Director of the ESRC Electricity Policy Research Group, Reader in Business Economics, Director of Studies in Management and Economics. (Co-authored with Ian W. Jones and David Bek) ‘Multinationals in Their Communities: A Social Capital Approach to Corporate Citizenship Projects’ Multinationals can impact significantly on the quality of social relations within the communities in which they operate. A key way they do this is through their corporate citizenship projects, funded as part of their corporate social responsibility programmes. This book analyzes the nature and effectiveness of these projects using the theoretical and empirical insights of recent social capital literature. Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan ISBN-13: 978-0230545687
Dr Mark de Rond, Director of the MPhil in Innovation, Strategy & Organisation Programme, University Senior Lecturer in Strategy ‘Strategic Alliances as Social Facts: Business, Biotechnology, and Intellectual History’ Strategic alliances are generally analyzed as planned and rational developments with clearly measurable outcomes in traditional management textbooks. Mark de Rond argues that such a view is unrealistic. Instead, he emphasizes the social dimension and the importance of the individuals involved inside alliances. Based on in-depth case studies of three major biotechnology alliances, the book combines insights from social theory and intellectual history with more mainstream strategic management literature. It provides a thoughtprovoking analysis that appeals to the reflective professional as well as academic researchers. Publisher: Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-0521811101
Professor Arnoud De Meyer, Director of Judge Business School, Professor of Management Studies (co-edited with Soumitra Dutta, Amit Jain and Gerard Richter (Editor)) ‘The Information Society in an Enlarged Europe’ Europe enlarged its boundaries in 2004 with the accession of ten new member states to the European Union. The creation of an effective information society is seen as critical to the global competitiveness of Europe.

Professor Peter Nolan, Sinyi Professor of Chinese Management, Chair of the University of Cambridge’s Development Studies Committee and Dr Jiang Zhang, University Lecturer in International Business (with C Liu). ‘Global business revolution and the cascade effect: systems integration in the global aerospace, beverage and retail industries’ This book makes use of rich data from the supply chain of three fundamentally different industries, aerospace, beverages and retail. It develops an original analytical framework – the ‘cascade effect’-to explain recent dramatic changes in industrial concentration across the supply chain of these three industries. This provides an original insight into the determinants of industrial structure in the epoch of globalization. It also has significant theoretical implications, as well as practical policy implications, especially for firms and policy-makers in developing countries.

Before joining the Technology Policy programme Richard had worked as a principal technology consultant and product manager for a number of leading UK SMEs in the mobile communications space. Keima was jointly founded with three leading computer

In essence, Keima helps mobile phone and wireless broadband engineers to deploy their networks more quickly, efficiently and effectively: fewer towers to cover more subscribers, planned in a

Cross channel challenge Alumna wins second Fulbright Award for Lucio Cicolecchia Management Consultant Lucio Cicolecchia ( MBA 2001) is hoping to commence his cross channel relay attempt in aid of The Stroke Association, this autumn. A charity close to the Cicolecchia family, Lucio and five other waterpolo loving friends hoped to attempt their crossing in early July, but as a result of the terrible summer weather, the team is now hoping to attempt their crossing this autumn – weather permitting!
Whilst the fastest channel swim is recorded as just over 7 hours with the slowest almost 27 hours; Lucio and his team aim to complete this mammoth undertaking in around 12 hours. Strong tidal currents and a heavy swell are anticipated – best of luck to Lucio and his team – no mean undertaking!

James’ debut novel follows a fictional interpretation of business school academia to reveal a simmering world of unbridled lust and unchecked ambition.

Amidst the recrimination and despair surrounding unfolding events, powerful lessons are learned that could never be taught in any classroom.

MBA 2001 reunion weekend

Becky Schutt (MBA 2004) reports “The Alumni of New York City were delighted to welcome Professor Arnoud De Meyer and Jonathan Badger of the Cambridge University Foundation to the Apple that is Big in late November 2006. We shared drinks and M&Ms at the Library Bar at the Regency Hotel and learned about Professor De Meyer’s adventures in Cambridge
thus far. He also provided us with his thoughtful vision for the Judge, with special attention paid to the role of alumni. Following the M&Ms and talk with Professor De Meyer, some of the alums ventured uptown to a Park Avenue penthouse, home of a Cambridge graduate, for the Cambridge in America holiday party. There, we enjoyed sweeping views of
New York City from the terrace, conversations with Cambridge graduates and, of course, the holiday crackers. Great to see Dan Cohen (MPhil 2000), Morgan Davis (MPhil 1997), Helen Ervin (MBA 2004), Michael Jakob (MPhil 1991), Carol Ng (MBA 2001), Nadine Surur (MBA 1995) and Emmanuelle Vernhes-Koudella (MBA 1999)”
