SHORT STORIES FROM THE FIELD:
In the interest of knowing more about the personal and professional impact that the EC-sponsored MBA and FUSEMBA project is having, we asked the current crop of students (promotion 2008-2010) to answer a few questions. Below are the first set of responses. Stay tuned for more!
MBA Student Jérôme Uguen
Thank you, Jerome, for taking the time to offer your "story". Our first question is "how is the FuSeMBA experience enhancing your personal and professional experience and/or shaping your career goals"?
What has attracted me in this MBA is the possibility to continue my university courses in a modern way with new technologies and to obtain an internationally recognized diploma (the Master of Business and Administration), recognized by the University of Barcelona, supported by the European Federation of Funeral Services.
Why do you think the FuSeMBA is important for the funeral service sector in your area/country/Europe?
The program is enabling us to learn about the latest European management, marketing and communication techniques so we can apply them to the funeral sector. Today it is important to create a European network of young funeral directors, to open to an international outlook on the funeral business and to exchange views on the specific characteristics and specialities in each participating country.
MBA Student Nuno Monteiro
Nuno, how is this FUSEMBA experience enhancing your personal and professional experience and/or shaping your career goals?
I started this experience with great expectations...This is a new European project. Of course, it is changing my personal and professional goals, which are right now focused on the transfer of my new knowledge's to my company in order to improve the current work system.
Why do you think the FUSEMBA MBA is important for the funeral service sector in Portugal?
At this moment, I'm starting to have a totally different point of view about the management of a funeral home. Obviously, this change of mind has opened my eyes to new ideas, and I think is possible to create a standard system in Europe (Funeral Homes and Services).
What specific problems or issues will you be able to address in a better way as a result of taking the FUSEMBA MBA course?
I hope to address in a better way all the themes approached during the course. All aspects are relevant for me, from the Commercial and Marketing side to the Human Resource Management and Management Skills side.
How do you think the people you deal with will benefit from your FUSEMBA education and training experience?
All the knowledge gained will be shared (or at least I will try) with the staff members of my company.
What has been the most exciting/interesting aspect so far about the FUSEMBA MBA programme?
The face to face sessions, because it the only way that we can all get together as a class, as professionals, and also as a group of people that is trying to accomplish the same goal: To know better so we can do better.
MBA Student Joaquin López
Joaquín, why do you think the FUSEMBA MBA is important for the funeral service sector in your area/country/Europe?
I hope and believe that this funeral service MBA will help to standardize this sector, at least at the European level.
How do you think the people you deal with will benefit from your FUSEMBA education and training experience?
I am convinced that thanks to FUSEMBA I will increase my knowledge of the European funeral service sector and become one of the first few fortunate people who are leaders in this scetor in the future.
MBA Student Fernando Yaybek Fervenza
Fernando, why do you think the FUSEMBA MBA is important for you, personally and professionally ?
Since I found out this MBA I've been very interested in participating because I´ve been working as a manager in this sector for 9 years but have not had the chance to receive specific training in funeral service management. This, then, is my opportunity to certify all my experience and knowledge in this business.
Why do you think the FUSEMBA MBA is important for the funeral service sector in your area/country/Europe?
I think it's very important because the funeral service has always traditionally been run as small, family-operated; but nowadays, in a more dynamic and demanding market, this sector needs well-prepared and qualified professionals with a wider business view about management and quality. This MBA, to me, personally, is key to meeting these needs.
Tell us a little about the MBA classes and your experience so far.
Up to now, the themes in the modules and the face-to-face sessions have been very interesting and useful to our daily tasks, but what I really find very exciting is the fact that I can participate with colleagues from other countries and learn their working methods, about other cultures and about the different way of thinking; that´s a " bonus " in this MBA.
