“Business according to the rules” magazine (Ekaterinburg) ¹2, 2008 SELL NOT A PRODUCT BUT A DREAM AND WISHES! Why do some companies that have just appeared on the market acquire popularity immediately and attract sincere interest of the buyers? Why do other companies that struggle for their existence industriously and for a long time have to quit the market nonetheless? It is stupid to believe that everything that happens in life is just a matter of chance and luck. It would be absolutely wrong to state, “This is fate. Some people get everything and others get nothing.” It is quite obvious now that success of a company is an accurately considered plan of actions, a huge quantity of applied knowledge and effort.

RBC.ru (Site news), July 31, 2008 INTERVIEW OF PROFESSOR AND RECTOR OF THE STOCKHOLM SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS IN RUSSIA ANDERS LILJENBERG What is the difference and specific of Swedish and Russian systems of business teaching and methods? At present, the Stockholm School of Economics is in a more privileged position in comparison to other business schools in Russia that has started carrying out international exchange and integration into the global business community just a few years ago. This fact also gives us a right to approach the "new" ideas appearing both in business and in the process of education from a more critical stance. In the Stockholm School of Economics we follow new trends very seldom before we receive confirmation that they really work. Along with this, if something really valuable appears we are well prepared to get the maximum benefit from this both for ourselves and for participants of our programs. Updated: 31.07.2008 Web-copy

Delovoi Peterburg (St. Petersburg), May 26, 2008 A DIFFICULT AGE Career How to reach heights and not to fall down Career of a manager is always an individual business life path. However, psychologists and recruiters do single out several stages in establishment of a manager that are closely interconnected with the life cycles of a person’s development. Each of the stages is accompanied by its own crisis. Andrei Davydov, General Director of Alfa Personal consulting group “Between 1995 and 1998, I participated in establishment, opening and development of a retail chain of stores of mobile electronics. I was younger than 25 then. Retail business was only emerging then and it was a new and incomprehensible system of trade. Responsibility was colossal! I worked myself off by 100%. In four years I received a huge experience that helped me to open my own business later.” Alexei Popov, Director of Executive MBA General Management program of the Stockholm School of Economics “The managers who are really kin on building of career study any opportunity to climb a step higher than the occupied position attentively. From this standpoint a course of career planning read to students of MBA helps to have a new look at your own capabilities and methods of behavior in the business space.” Zhanna Bunimovich, psychologist “Respect, recognition and money – all this does not save people from psychological problems connected with natural reconstruction of organism. This leads to the "crisis of the middle of life" when they start summing up the results of what have been done and, understanding that further promotion is impossible start seeking the ways to get adjusted to the new situation. Mastering of new areas of activity and transition to horizontal career is a way out." Updated: 27.05.2008 Photocopy

TextRBC daily (St. Petersburg), February 28, 2008 THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS A SERIOUS RATING OF MBA IN ST.

ON THE ONE HAND, THEIR GOAL IS GIVING OF USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT OFFERS ON THE MARKET TO THE CONSUMER. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE RATING ITSELF IS A PRODUCT QUALITY OF WHICH CAN BE OFTEN QUESTIONED. RBC daily in cooperation with THI Selection tried to take the first step towards creation of a rating in St. Petersburg being interesting for the consumer and being simultaneously recognized by business schools as satisfying the minimal requirements of objectiveness. The first and probably the most important parameter of success of the schools that we decided to study was growth in wages of graduates after graduation from a school. For obtaining of data we followed two paths: (1) polling of graduates on the website of RBC, (2) selection from the database of a recruiting company, namely THI Selection. As a result, the data turned out to be sufficient, for instance, for evaluation of an average effect of obtaining of an MBA certificate on the salary of a manager but insufficient for statistically correct separation of the effects of salaries growth according to schools. There is a hope that this task will e fulfilled in 2009. Out view at the ratings, description of the research and its results are presented in the present article. Updated: 13.03.2008 Photocopy 1
