Humans of CBSbyAnna Holte

Who is your biggest inspiration and why?
“Without any doubt, my biggest inspiration is my mother. I’m her only child, and she is working as a businesswoman in Thailand with 3-4 jobs and works night and day. She is always working, and all her money goes on my education, the opportunity she never had. I hope to get a job somewhere in the world and take her with me and live out her dream.”
Sirapapha Tangyou (Jikkie) - exchange student from Thailand

Who is your biggest inspiration and why?
“A lot of people inspire me, but the ones who inspire me most are those who can create their own businesses and make it internationally. One example is Bernard Arnault, who takes bankrupt businesses, and reimplements them in new contexts that give them new life and a second chance.”
Oscar Kadlub-Larsen - BSc in Business, Language and Culture

Who is your biggest inspiration and why?
"I admire Sophia Kianni for her prominent role in the green transition as both the youngest "United Nations advisor" in US history, and founder and CEO of Climate Cardinals, the world’s largest youth-driven climate organisation. All while studying at Stanford."
Oscar Abel - HA(kom.) - Eng. BSc in Business Administration and Organizational Communication

Layoffs break the crucial trust between organisation and employee

CBS is laying off a number of employees soon, which will affect our university in different ways. When employees are fired without having done anything wrong, it shatters the trust between the organisation and employees, while also taking a toll on productivity, according to a CBS expert. Layoffs also affect the ‘survivors’, who are forced to adapt to a changed workload and the loss of cherished colleagues.
