OCTOBER 26: Digital Media MBA Happy Hour at Union Bar
Please join the Digital Media MBA group for a special Happy Hour this month where we will be joined by three Columbia Business School professors who have just written the new book “The Curse of the Mogul: What’s Wrong with the World’s Leading Media Companies.” If you follow the link to pre-order your copy of the book now — released on October 15 — just bring it with you and get it signed by the authors.
Here’s some info about the book and those behind it:
- – We live in the age of Big Media, with the celebrity moguls at the helms of the media conglomerates telling us that “content is king” and “growth is good.” But for all the excitement, glamour, drama, and publicity they produce, why can’t these moguls and their companies manage to deliver the kind of returns you’d get from closing your eyes and throwing a dart? In The Curse of the Mogul, Jonathan A. Knee, Bruce C. Greenwald, and Ava Seave lay bare the inexcusable financial performance that lies beneath Big Media’s false veneer of
power.
- – Jonathan A. Knee is a longtime investment banker and the author of The Accidental Investment Banker. He is also an adjunct professor and director of the Media Program at Columbia Business School.
- – Bruce C. Greenwald, an economist, is the Robert Heilbrunn Professor of Finance and Asset Management at Columbia Business School. His books include Competition Demystified.
- – Ava Seave is principal and cofounder of the consulting firm Quantum Media and has held management roles at Scholastic Inc. and The Village Voice. She is also an adjunct associate professor at Columbia Business School who will be teaching an EMBA Master Class in Spring 2010 called Media Strategy: Analysis, Innovation and Implementation.
So we look forward to being joined by these industry experts and offering you the chance to talk some shop with them over cocktails.
If you haven’t attended before please accept this as your invite to join the largest group of Digital Media MBAs — and those who love them. Since our events keep getting bigger we know that people are making valuable connections while relaxing and having a fun time.
Please save the date and we will notify you of the downtown venue as soon we have confirmed it. You can RSVP here, or just show up.

the Digital Media MBA Career Event
interview and hire graduating Columbia MBA’s and recent alums – all in one downtown location – this April!
Many graduating Columbia Business School students and recent alumni are looking for career opportunities in digital media. In conjunction with Columbia Business School Career Services, and the student run Technology Business Group and Media Management Association, we’re trying to connect them with the many opportunities available in the city! We recognize that many of these positions aren’t filled by traditional annual recruiting cycles or are at smaller start-up organizations that might not be able to do on-campus recruiting – so we’re coming downtown to you.
The Digital Media MBA Career Event will take place in early April, and we want you to be there.
We’re looking for hiring companies, industry associations and press to help spread the word, and any other help we can get… Click the Career Event tab or here for more info.
