It often dictates what we’ll have for dinner, where we’ll go on our next vacation, and what Christmas presents we’ll buy for our loved ones. Yes, you guessed it – price. Those small digits that determine the value of our needs and desires. PHD fellow Stefan Sløk-Madsen gave us a better understanding of the concept of price when we asked him: Why is the price of diamonds higher than that of fresh water, when one is necessary to our survival and the other is nothing more than a solid piece of carbon?

It’s not every day that a Master thesis from CBS gets to do the media rounds. Nonetheless it can happen (as three students from Political Communication and Management found out) if you criticize some of the most watched, heard and read political news satire formats in the whole of Denmark.

Stine Bagger Vium, Vibeke Finnemann Scheel and Caroline Boas have taken political news satire under the microscope – not only to analyze the enormous potential this genre holds, but to make us mindful of the potential pitfalls we can end up in when we press play and have a laugh at our favorite satire output.

Together with bandmates Selina Gin and Maria Juntunen Signe Tobiassen has created one of Denmark’s biggest musical successes – the band Nelson Can. It’s not only because they have a load of great songs they also have a great flair for the business part of the music scene. Unlike many musicians Signe Tobiassen has no problem calling herself a business-woman which is not only supported by Nelson Can’s succes, but also by all the bands Signe has helped as a manager. Now this bass-swinging business-woman studies Management of Creative Business Processes at CBS, so we caught up with her for an interview about her experiences within the music business.

Participants: Signe Tobiassen and Casper Bach Hegstrup

If you just take one look at the webpage of an average newspaper, there is no doubt. We’ve got plenty of things to be afraid of. Terror, hurricanes, floods, different kinds of medicine and wolf packs to name a few. But do we fear what we need to fear or what we are told to fear? Tune in to find out how we separate hot air from real danger with professor Steffen Andersen – author of the book, Dangerous? How they feed your fear and why you eat it.

Press play and enjoy.

It happens every year. Young Danes apply for their dream education and the media responds with article upon article about which courses can display the most jaw-dropping Grade Point Average. As is customary, International Business at CBS draws headlines with its entry requirements busting the 7-point grading scale – and this year was no different. A grade point average of 12,2 was needed to get in, and for the majority of Danish high school students this average is beyond unachievable. But not for the new International Business students. You can meet two of them and one of their lecturers in our new podcast where we try to answer the question: Who are the new International Business students? Press play and enjoy.

Participants: Caroline Termansen, Nicole Jørgensen and Herdis Steingrimsdottir.
