SAVE THE DATE for the department's SECOND ALUMNI EVENT on 24.05.2012! After the success of the first event, we are looking forward to meeting you again.
First Alumni Network Meeting of the Department of International Management in November 2011
„Never Do what the Customers Want“ or „Customer Pain is the Main Driver for Business“
These rather unconventional but honest and valuable recommendations are a perfect example of what DI Bernd Greifeneder presented to the guests of the 1st Alumni Network Meeting of the Department of International Management.
In his lively speech „dynaTrace: Lessons Learned – From a Local Start-up to a Global Technology Leader“ he gave many insights into the success story of dynaTrace, which he had founded in 2005. He told the audience about the barriers during the foundation phase, the search for appropriate investors, the cultural differences faced during internationalization, the financial crisis and the surprise offer by Compuware to buy the company for 256 million Dollars. Being asked whether and how this changed his life, he stressed that he is still the same person as when founding the company, that he remains CTO and intends to keep the company culture alive that brought dynaTrace and its employees (close to 200 employees by now) to its huge success.
The audience honored his presentation and insights with applause and many interesting questions. Lively discussions continued during the informal part of the evening. With good food and wine, networking among former and current students of the department became easy. In sum, this first alumni meeting, jointly hosted by the Department of International Management and the Kepler Society represented by Mag. Florian Hippesroither, was a big success and calls for follow-ups.
PS „+40“ (new R&D jobs in Linz) is dynaTrace´s aim until the end of 2012 – detailed job profiles can be found under http://jobs.dynatrace.at
