Why a blog?

Three weeks ago I have landed in Madrid to start my MBA at IE Business School. So far has been a great experience.

The first two weeks was the beginning of the program with the “Launch Program” (see video below). In these 2 weeks I have participated in basketball games, arquitecture classes, Arab, Japanese and Chinese culture classes and had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world (Lebanese, Korean, Mexican, ….). Previously I had worked in very diverse environments but never in one like this (in my class there are 24 different nationalities). All of this time has been like “honeymoon”: just fun and more fun.

Classes started in the third week and the “honeymoon” was over. Lots of reading, preparation of study cases that with more or less difficult were done …

After being accepted in a top business school my confidence was very high and I thought that, for sure, I was ready for everything. I realized I was wrong in my first Information Systems class when the professor started speaking about new applications/technologies. During some minutes I thought the teacher and some class mates were speaking Chinese. I felt analphabet but, fortunately, I began to ear some familiar words such as Google and Facebook.

Can you guess which was the first Information Systems class task? Yep, create a blog! So this is the reason for this blog and one of the objectives is the discussion of new technologies, information systems, etc. I will try to do my best and I am expecting your contribution.
