As Dean of Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus

University, I am gratified by the close relationship RSM enjoys

with international business. This follows on from the School’s

history: it was launched 40 years ago with the support of

a group of Dutch multinationals, who sought to create a

breeding ground of excellent management education and

research in the Netherlands. Business is truly part of RSM’s

DNA – and in a reciprocal fashion, RSM has become part of

the fabric of multinational business.

Major corporations prefer to work with RSM. We are a source

of research targeted to specific challenges (from supply chains

and logistics to the swift organisational transformations

WELCOMEdemanded in today’s market); a pipeline of talent that

emerges from highly-ranked programmes with a highly-

international student profile; and a leader in innovative

business thought and practice (addressing such tough

issues as climate change, CSR and sustainability).

Further, we are the ideal partner for co- branding and

increased corporate visibility.

Located in Rotterdam – ‘the gateway to European business’ –

RSM offers companies many mutually beneficial partnership

opportunities. Whatever the specific needs of your organisation,

we would like to develop our relationship further, and look

forward to hearing more from you.

Towards a prosperous future,

George Yip

Dean

LEADERSHIP

LEADING THROUGH EDUCATION, RESEARCH, RELATIONSHIPS AND IDEAS

RSM is a leading business institution with the goal of creating

leaders in thought, action, and engagement in the greater

world. We do this by teaching the skills of personal leadership

development to our students; by creating and disseminating

new knowledge that emerges from our leading researchers;

and by promoting and fostering relationships with leaders in

business, in society, and in academia.

Our close connection with business – our major

stakeholder – continues to deepen to the benefit

of our corporate partners, our students and alumni.

PARTNEREDWITH BUSINESS

A growing number of multinational organisations have come

to appreciate RSM for the many opportunities the School offers

them: events that bring them in contact with high-potential

talent, possibilities for short-or-long-term consultancies with

MBA, MSc or BSc students, research projects with our faculty

or graduate students, and tailored or open-enrolment executive

education to retain their best talent, for example.

Shell Campus Ambassadors are the face of

the organisation on campus. Being RSM alumni

themselves, they offer first-hand experience

to current students on what it’s like to work

at Shell. They also work closely with faculty,

the alumni office and study associations

to support internships, guest lectures and

knowledge exchange forums. According to

David Pappie, Shell’s Global Recruitment

Manager – and RSM Campus Ambassador lead:

“RSM’s open attitude towards companies

like ours enables students to experience Shell’s

breadth of career opportunities… while I am

pleased with the excellent stream of RSM

talent making its way into Shell year after year,

RSM students are the ultimate winners.”

One of RSM’s most enthusiastic corporate

sponsors is ING Bank, which sponsors

a Corporate Scholarship for MBAs who specialise

in finance. “Not only do we have the opportunity

to market our organisation to high-potential

MBA candidates,” says Victoria Visser,

Global Talent Manager, ING Group, HR Finance,

“but the co-branding with a top business school

is important, as is the access to their alumni.”

HIGH VISIBILITY AND CO-BRANDING


13

We have come to rely upon our strong

bonds with business as an essential and

practical source of advice, guidance,

and mutual support. How are companies able

to invest in, and co-brand with, RSM?

Research

• Sponsor a research chair (with a thought leader in

a relevant field of research);

• Found or support a Centre of Expertise to be involved in

selecting research projects pertinent to your organisation;

• Establish a cooperative, Best-in-Class Knowledge Platform

to share knowledge, processes, and business intelligence

with other international companies;

• Commission applied research projects with students

or professors of RSM.

Sourcing/Recruitment

• Sponsor an MBA Corporate Scholarship

• Start a Campus Ambassador programme, in which

RSM alumni from a particular company return to

campus to recruit new talent;

• ‘Try on’ potential new employees through short-term

consultancies or internships;

• Be part of recruitment events such as STAR Management

Week (BSc and MSc) or the MBA Annual Careers Fair;

• Arrange company visits and study trips for face-to-face

opportunities to meet with students and alumni of RSM

programmes.

Training and Development

• Develop company-specific Executive Education

programmes for senior and middle managers;

• Provide Open-Enrolment programmes for executives.

Marketing and Branding Opportunities

• Workshops, guest lectures and round-table discussions

provide organisations the opportunity to build brand

visibility – with media, with other companies, and with

RSM alumni, students, researchers and staff.

INSIGHT

FUL


RSM and the Erasmus School of Economics bring together

their best researchers in the Erasmus Research Institute of

Management (ERIM). ERIM’s mission is to produce scientific

research that improves organisational performance in terms

of both profitability and sustainability. 350 international

researchers within ERIM contribute to new knowledge across

five core streams:

• Business Processes, Logistics & Information Systems;

• Organising for Performance (Entrepreneurship &

Innovation, HRM, Corporate Engagement & Ethics)

• Marketing

• Finance & Accounting

• Strategy

ERIM’s thought-leaders, many of whom form the faculty of

RSM, are focused on the real issues and challenges that

impact business today. According to these evolving challenges,

RSM and ERIM (with ESE, the Erasmus School of Economics)

collaborate in the ongoing co-development of Centres of

Expertise. Inspired by concrete business problems and

working directly with organisations to advance in-company

innovation, the Centres bring together faculty members from

multiple disciplines to conduct applied, focused research in

specialised areas.

New knowledge arises from business-centred research, helping to shape the future of business

practice and policy. RSM and the Erasmus School of Economics bring together their best researchers

in the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM).

Our Centres of Expertise include:

Case Development Centre (CDC) supports the writing and

publicising of top quality teaching cases and notes, and of

white papers for both academic and business entities.

RSM: LEADERS IN BUSINESS EDUCATION ANDPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The ‘competition for talent’ can be lost at home. Changes

in business occur at such a rapid pace so rewarding and

challenging senior members of staff – whilst allowing them

to refresh their skills and sense of motivation – makes good

business sense. Not offering these rewards and continued

challenges can often mean that companies risk losing these

staff, along with their accumulated knowledge and their

expertise.

Most executives recognise that their management education

has a ‘shelf life’. Consequently they are anxious to continually

evolve by topping up their knowledge and skills so they are

able to continue to build their careers.

RSM’s Executive Education & Development department will

help to improve the way you do business with its company-

specific programmes which are tailor-made for executives.

The programmes, are custom-made from concept to delivery

and are designed to respond directly to client needs and

objectives.

Companies are seeking people who are able to connect

with others, to lead across regional and cultural differences,

and to navigate confidently through rapid organisational

changes. Those who are able, in other words, to continually

identify, innovate and facilitate the organisational

transformation necessary for success.

RSM has created a pipeline of business talent, and a pro-

active stance on matching pre- and post-experience students

with the right internship, research project, consultancy or

full-time position. This is done through the Career Services

office (pre-experience, full service office); through MBA Career

Development (which aids post-experience programme

participants in developing a career plan and meeting corporate

recruiters) and through such events as Erasmus Recruitment

Days, during which companies may meet talent face-to-face.

Further, our Executive Education programmes, both

tailored and open-enrolment, can be key in helping

companies to retain and refresh existing talent.

RECRUITMENT &DEVELOPMENT


19

The biggest challenge facing global business today is the ‘competition for talent’:

finding the people who can make business prosper. To remain creative, agile, and adaptive

in an increasingly competitive arena, companies must find and recruit the very best talent,

with an emerging skill set of relevant characteristics.

RSM Executive Education & Development offers a portfolio

of timely, topical and targeted open enrolment programmes

offered to managers and specialists. These short courses

provide participants with new skills and knowledge that have

an immediate effect in the workplace.

The portfolio of open enrolment programmes makes use of

RSM’s core knowledge and expertise. Each programme is

developed and delivered by a leading expert in the field.

RSM’s Executive Education programmes bring learning into

business by challenging and stimulating participants’

thinking, from young talent to senior managers. Participants

gain new perspectives and capabilities, cutting-edge business

acumen and theoretical insights that help them drive their

organisation towards better performance and results.

With almost 40 years of experience in business and

management education, RSM is one of Europe’s top business

schools, and a leading provider of Executive Education in

the Netherlands.

“Most of our research is done in conjunction

with industry,” says Prof. Dr. Ir. Jo van Nunen,

Professor of Operations Research and

Information Sciences and Chairman, Dept. of

Decision and Information Sciences. “When

I first came to Rotterdam in the 70’s it was

like having a huge playground on my doorstep.

The things that we do at RSM today create

new control structures for that playground.”

Professor Dr. Ir. Jo van Nunen

IN CONJUNCTION WITH INDUSTRY


21

Rotterdam School of Management is the top-ranked business

school of the prestigious Erasmus University. Founded in

1913, the University is one of Europe’s best-respected and

most prolific research universities. It takes its name from

famous Rotterdammer Desiderius Erasmus (1466-1536),

whose scholarly works helped usher in the Renaissance.

The first Nobel Prize in economic sciences was awarded to

Erasmus Professor Jan Tinbergen (1903-1994) in 1969.

Erasmus hosts the Erasmus School of Economics and the

Erasmus MC University Medical Centre, in addition to RSM.

RSM: FOUNDED BY BUSINESS FOR BUSINESS

In 1966, spurred by the need for suitable training and higher

educational facilities for managers in the Netherlands, a group

of Dutch multinationals initiated a new business faculty as a

joint venture of several faculties of the Netherlands School of

Economics (now Erasmus University).

The Interfaculteit Bedrijfskunde/Graduate School of

Management (now RSM) was founded by:

• Royal Dutch Shell

• Algemene Kunstzijde Unie

• Koninklijke Zout/Ketjen (AkzoNobel)

• Amsterdam-Rotterdam Bank

• Algemene Bank Nederland (ABN Amro)

• Unilever

• Philips Gloeilampen Fabriek

• Koninklijke Hoogovens en Staalfabrieken (Corus)

Each company donated 2 million guilders to launch the

school. The first graduate-level students – thirty of them –

entered the programme in October 1970.

LINKS WITH BUSINESS

From its earliest

foundations, RSM has

enjoyed a reciprocal

relationship with

international business.


22

Learn more, do more, become more


23

In a world of rapidly-proliferating management

programmes, accreditation takes on new importance.

Rotterdam School of Management, and its associated

faculties and research organisations continue to

accrue accreditations indicative of proven quality.

RSM is one of the very small group of business schools with

the ‘Triple Crown’ of accreditation: EQUIS, AACSB, and the

Association of MBAs (AMBA).

In addition, the NVAO (the Nederlands-Vlaamse Accreditatie

Organisatie or Dutch-Flemish Accreditation Organisation) has

accredited our BScBA, BScIBA, MScBA, MScIM-CEMS and

Executive Master programmes.

ERIM, our research institution, has been accredited by the

Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) as

well as by the NVAO.

The Netherlands has been a leader in international trade for

500 years. This history has encouraged the open-minded,

outward-looking, tolerant and inquisitive attitude with which

the country is identified today. It may also explain the

particular interest in foreign travel, business and language

that is a markedly Dutch trait.

From its inception, RSM has attracted the best international

faculty, and a culturally-diverse base of students and staff

(over 100 nationalities work and study together on campus).

Upon graduation, students join our Alumni Network – 16,000

strong and growing.

Our Alumni, many of whom are highly-placed in multinational

companies, form a global network of professional and social

support for each other, meeting at local events, workshops and

lectures as well as traveling together on alumni study tours.

Many of them come to international student recruitment fairs

and information sessions to describe their experience at RSM

to potential students. Often, they come to RSM when their

company wants to recruit new talent.

Our Students provide the diversity that distinguishes our

programmes, creating ‘global classrooms.’ Simply by working

on assignments in small groups, they develop the intercultural

skills so essential to management in a globalised economy.

Our Programmes provide participants with the potential to

have an exchange period with one of our partner schools,

international business schools recognised for their excellence.

RSM is a member of the prestigious Community of European

Management Schools (CEMS) and Partnership in International

Management (PIM).

Our alumni, faculty, partner

schools and students form

a world-wide network of

knowledge and expertise.
