Raghu Raghuram: technology and people to go big in business

The CEO VMware, met Luiss Business School students of the Masters in International Management, Big Data & Management and Business Transformation, during a talk with Paolo Boccardelli, Dean Luiss Business School, and Maximo Ibarra, CEO Engineering. Luiss Business School hosted Raghu Raghuram, CEO Vmware, for a talk about technology and new challenges with the students of the Masters in International Management, Big Data & Management and Business Transformation. «The cloud revolution is real: it's not a technological change, it's a way of changing organizations – says Paolo Boccardelli, Dean Luiss Business School, host of the talk with Maximo Ibarra, CEO Engineering S.p.A. – This new, big impact in organizations may be extremely relevant for all of our experiences and activities here in the Business School». Successful strategy for tech (and non tech) companies Exploring all the paths made since the beginning of his career, Raghuram explained that the cloud let all the tech company to innovate themselves «Every technology company that existed over five years has to reinvent itself, and this is true in every kind of business, from iron steel to automotive», CEO VMware explained. Then he underlined the difference between the software business model and the cloud one, that drives to a tech-driven transformation of the business. «The second most important thing to a tech company is to be really close to small companies and to small businesses in the space you already use – added Raghuram – When companies get big, they worry about bigger competitors. But the challenge is never going to be among bigger competitor: the challenge is always going big among smaller companies». Thinking about successful companies, most people think that they have some complicated business strategy. «It turns out that doesn't work: the best companies have very simple stories, and it is based on what they are doing». As regards companies which go big, pay attention to acquisitions. «Every successful company is like a mini marriage or, in same case, a major marriage. It depends on the size of acquisition. In VMware, since we got public in 2007, we have done probably 60 acquisitions. It's all very difficult. The reason why is that you are not getting a technology, but a group of people, who are used to think in a certain way. The second thing to remember is even before you acquired a company, you must understand what your plan for that company is. Sometimes the plan is to integrate all in one single team. Well, is the exact opposite». Pandemic effects on technological behaviors Covid Pandemic brought a pocket of positive lessons and experiences, and the idea of digital transformation as well. For example, the idea of telemedicine has been available for decades in the US, but maybe 5-10% of the population, both doctors and patients, used it. During the pandemic that number went up to 80-90%. Now, even though the pandemic is receding, the use of telemedicine still stays at 80-90%. «The state of technology today allows you to be a lot more digital than you think you can be», stated Raghuram. «The second transformation we see is the blurring of operation between physical and virtual. Because you can't go to the store, you have the store coming to you. All of these are going to be solid, fundamental changes that we're not go back from. And this would be applicable at any level, private and governmental as well. Italy has seen a huge digital transformation. So, there's an enormous opportunity for all of you students to go into the industry. You will be the pioneers of digital transformation in the world». Pay attention to the organization «The main reason why people leave is the manager– stated Raghuram – So, there is one thing you could get out of your business school. It is paying attention to organization. Organizational behavior requires communication and leadership. I think those are very suitable skills to have». Raghu Raghuram joined VMware in 2003. He oriented with success the strategy and the technological evolution of the company. He covered many leadership roles, from Chief Operating Officer to Chief Executive Officer. He also worked for AOL, Bang Networks and Netscape. He holds an MBA from Wharton School of Business and a Master in Electric Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai. 17/11/2021

Be a change leader: the post-Covid challenge of the Luiss Business School

This is the main goal addressed by Matteo Caroli, Associate Dean for internationalization, during the Graduation Day with the students of the international Masters: «It's your time to inspire». «You can achieve everything in life if you don't give up»: is the message of the student Jolda Tomani, during the Valedictorian Speech. «It's time to become change-agents». With this advice Matteo Caroli, Associate Dean for internationalization of the Luiss Business School, hailed the Graduation Day of the students of the nine international masters, edition 2018/2019. In the post-Covid world, while we're facing the effects of the pandemic on our economy and society, being a change leader, a person who can inspire personal and professional communities, will be a key factor for the years to come. «It's time to become change-agents in the evolution of your organizations and time to adapt yourself to the frequent changes and transformations», said professor Caroli, who recollected all the stages of the long path walked by the students. They improved their skills and acquired new ones, expanded their network and, by the end, they had «the opportunity to grow». Graduation Day is the final step in this educational path, but it is also «the starting point» for their personal and professional future development. This complex, dynamic and challenging environment requires change agents who can also be leaders of this New Normal time. Thus, Luiss Business School believes that «education is much more than what you learn; it is about how you think and how you act. Our daily commitment is to develop passionate and inspiring leaders who believe growth and entrepreneurship are essential to achieve great results». «Being here showed me that you can achieve everything in life if you don't give up – said Jold Tomani, student of Risk management and insurance, during the Valedictorian Speech. – After finishing my bachelor’s degree in Albania in Business Administration, I decided that I had to find an opportunity to attend the master abroad or not to do the master at all: being accepted with a full scholarship taught me that if you want something, you have to try and don't give up». Living abroad, without friends who speak your language and share the same culture, makes students grow in many ways and let them change their mindset. Thanks to all the experiences shared by professors and successful leaders, students can learn how to translate vision into reality. «The most important thing that I've gained from the master is the development of the soft skills – continued Tomani, who dedicated the degree to her father – I do believe that it is very important to strengthen the hard skills and doing the best in what you do. But if you don't have the soft skills to cooperate and communicate effectively with others, even the best product won't be sold. And the best product is ourselves». The Luiss Business School Alumni become ambassadors in all professional communities, in Italy and abroad. This is powered by the “Connect” community, an exclusive network platform where the Luiss Business School Alumni have the chance to keep on talking with their peers and colleagues, matching with new professional opportunities. Starting from the Graduation Day every is welcome to “Connect”, where all the photos of the ceremony are now available. Register now! 9/7/2021

International Prize Generazione Contemporanea: sixth edition

The Luiss Creative Business Centre announces the sixth edition of the International Prize Generazione Contemporanea, aimed at promoting Italian and foreign contemporary art, supporting artists under 35, and expanding Luiss Business School’s permanent collection of contemporary art. This initiative brings forth a new field of cultural innovation, not only devoted to educating young artists, but also to supporting them and researching new talents internationally. The competition requires that the works submitted develop the same theme as the exhibition “Reazioni”. The term reaction means to act in response to an action and/or in opposition to it. This 'opposing' motion has affinities with the concept of irony, when seen in terms of simulation and dissimulation. In literature, irony is the rhetorical procedure in which words take on an opposite meaning compared to what they literally express. Through the art, this attitude offers one of the possible antidotes to an era that requires not only the individual, but the entire community to accept the sense of abandonment of their freedoms and ideals. The contest provides for the assignment of a cash prize worth € 4,000.00, awarded to the first classified as a purchase-prize of the work evaluated, selected and chosen by the unquestionable judgement of the technical jury thus composed: Peter Benson Miller – Art Historian and CuratorAchille Bonito Oliva – Art Critic, Scientific Director of the Luiss Master of ArtRoberto Cotroneo – Journalist, Writer, and PhotographerPia Lauro – Independent Curator, Luiss Master of Art alumnaGianfranco Maraniello – Art Historian and CuratorGiovanna Melandri – President at Fondazione MAXXIMsgr.

Candidates may enter the competition with a single piece of artwork, either previously released or not, which clearly adheres to the Prize’s theme. All artistic media are allowed, including painting, sculpture, installation, photography, graphics, and video, with no restrictions on techniques. The contest is aimed exclusively at artists under 35. The deadline for submitting the artwork for the Prize is October 11th, 2021, no later than 12 pm (Italian time).
