The Rise of Women in Leadership
Half of women are in middle management and yet, less than 10 per cent are in C-suite. So what’s stopping women from stepping up and taking on more roles in senior management?
Articles and research papers by INSEAD and other institutions reveal the challenges women face at their workplace, and what both organisations and women themselves can do to make leadership opportunities available to all genders.

4/25/16 Students can now complete the full-time MBA in 12 months.
Germany’s WHU has announced several changes to its MBA programs. Both the full- and part-time MBA programs are now shortened, and full-time students now have the option to enroll in either the spring or the fall.
The school’s full-time MBA program can now be completed in 12 months, rather than the 15 months it had taken previously. Likewise, the part-time version of the MBA can now be completed in 18 months.
Additionally, the school has also added a fall intake for its full-time MBA. Students can now choose to start on either March 1 or September 1. According to the school, the new fall intake will make it easier for international students to apply to the program. “Most international offers are based on a course of study that begins September 1. Our additional start date makes it easier, particularly for international prospective students, to apply to WHU,” says Daisuke Motoki, the director of the MBA Program.

The following Yale SOM interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 1 applicant.
Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The school had a full day of activities planned out for us prospective students. At the same time, people were nervous, asking about how the interview went for you (if you went before them), etc. I personally chose to have my interview at the beginning of the day. Pros: don’t feel stressed throughout the day and the activities, can enjoy the activities to the fullest without your mind wandering towards thoughts about the interview, it feels good to be able to give advice to others and be of help. Cons: have to plan the transit really well so to not be late in the morning, when the buses can run full or have mixups (I had these – two bus changes because of long waits by driver for bus behind), cannot use information given throughout the day for interesting/”fresh” talking points at the interview. All in, if you are well prepared, you’ll do well. Just small details to consider.
I was interviewed by a 2nd-year student whose background was similar to mine (not sure if this selection is done on purpose by the adcom), and it was a blind interview.
Questions I was asked:
– Tell me about how you went from “X” industry to “Y” industry
– Why do you think that private markets are better at solving social problems? (stemmed from the conversation)
– Why MBA)?
– Have you already tried to go into [target industry[? What happened?
– What do you want to recruit for at the MBA? Internship plans, etc
– What courses would you like to take?
– If you had to define SOM in one word, what would it be?
– How do you think you could contribute to SOM?
– Do you have any questions for me?
– Is there anything you want me to tell the admissions committee?
What surprised me about that day was (again) how much the school cares for each student at an individual level.
What I concluded about SOM from this experience (the whole Interview Day) was that it is a fantastic place with people with so many different backgrounds, and that is rapidly expanding its network and growing stronger as an MBA program.

Benny Du, SeungHo Song, Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev, Hassam Hussain, & Dan Tavares
In Spring 2012, four Berkeley-Haas students sat down with the president of Bulgaria to create the beginnings of a plan for the country's first science and technology park.
Fast forward to December 2015 and the students—Benny Du, SeungHo Song, Hassam Hussain, and Dan Tavares, all MBA 13—got some great news: the Sofia Tech Park has opened for business. The state-owned park is partnering with private and public institutions to encourage innovation, build educational programs, and provide support to startups.
Working on the project was “rewarding and life-changing experience,” Du says.
“We put our diverse skill sets and experience to work in helping Bulgaria build a new ecosystem that will help the country move up the innovation ladder and really be that innovative leader in Eastern Europe.”
All four students worked on the project while enrolled in the Berkeley-Haas International Business Development course, which is designed to give students real-world business consulting experience. Teams have traveled from Albania to Zambia with the program.
For this project, the MBA students were asked by the Bulgarian Ministry of Economy, Energy and Tourism to define the scope of the new science and technology park project, including potential challenges to development and the governance mechanisms required for it to succeed.
Elitsa Panayotova, now the executive director of Sofia Tech Park, was the students’ main contact in Bulgaria. Google, Hewlett Packard, and Cisco have all helped with its development.
During the planning stages, the students received input from Adj. Prof. Andrew Isaacs, director of the New Management of Technology Program at Berkeley-Haas, and from Bay Area-based Melinda Richter, head of Johnson & Johnson Innovation.
The students' work in Bulgaria included a series of meetings with key stakeholders, including President Rosen Plevneliev. They also visited Startup Weekend in Sofia, where they met with local entrepreneurs and investors, including partners from a local accelerator fund that planned to make roughly 200 investments.
From their meetings, the student found there was also a strong sentiment that the technology park should truly foster innovation and collaboration and not just be another business park with nice-looking buildings. They found that businesses, especially start-ups, needed services that would help lower their up-front capital costs, such as legal support, labs for rapid prototyping, and access to key licenses.
The students also recommended that park focus on the information and communications technology sector, where there’s market need and core competencies in place.
“We're very proud of the work that we did and the four of us would love to do a reunion in Sofia at some point in the future,” Du said.
