Customer driven development

During four decades of machine development EMBA has always been faithful to the core design values that have become our trade mark. The quick-set capability and transport of the sheets with vacuum are important factors contributing to improved productivity and operational excellence.Development is also a question about adapting to the continuously changing environment with new challenges to our industry. It is difficult to believe that anybody could anticipate back in 1968 that we would have the oil and energy prices of today that seem to be here to stay. That fact and our increasing awarness of the impact we have on our environment is bringing new challenges to our industry and to our development work. Our customers are asking us to adapt to these circumstances and develop products that minimise the environmental impact and contribute to operational excellence.Our response is the 245 QS Ultima™ that features all the design innovations developed over four decades and complemented now with features contributing to lower energy consumption and paper utilisation. This new inline machine is designed for non-crush converting with vacuum transport of the sheets from the infeed unit all the way to the stacker. The industry norm to calculate with 15% ECT loss during converting is now eliminated. The bottom line will be reduction in paper costs in box converting and optimisation in design of corrugated boxes.When I look back to the achievements over the past 40 years by EMBA I am pleased to recognise that the evolution from the pioneering innovation with the 240 machine to today´s 245 QS Ultima™ is a result of dedicated customer driven development.

Furthering My Education Online

I was one of those people that always loved being in college; I would never have left if I had had any choice in the matter. But four years after I started I earned my undergraduate degree and it was time, as my parents emphatically reported, that I got a job. So it was that I left school and embarked upon my career which would lead me many states and twenty years away from the earning of my undergraduate degree. I always wanted to further my education – continue with what I started – but every year seemed to propel me mentally further from my goal and with my accumulation of responsibilities the reality of attending school just seemed to become cloudier and cloudier.
Perhaps I was just waiting for a more convenient time - which has apparently arrived with the advent of the Internet through which I can now make strides in continuing my education without having to change my whole life around in the process. What I am specifically looking at right now is the online business degree program through a highly ranked school with a great reputation in education.
Through this program I will complete ten courses in order to earn my online MBA – courses that are completed entirely through Internet learning. So no longer do I have to make the decision between continuing with my full time job and going back to school; with the online business degree program I am able to do both.
And because the school I chose has career services at the disposal of students, I can even explore the possibility of entering a new career field when my schoolwork is completed. The online degree programs available today have really given students the best of all worlds in terms of career and education; something that I am happy to have the opportunity to enjoy.

Finishing My Education with an Online MBA

A long time ago, in a college far, far away I earned my undergraduate degree in business; and feeling inspired by my accomplishment and bolstered by my newly acquired student loan, I immediately headed back to the classroom following graduation to start work on my MBA. This had always been my plan – to complete my degrees back to back before life stepped in and this kind of focused time and energy became less possible to spare. But only six months into my MBA program life stepped in anyway when my father died suddenly. My family was in a cloud of grief for years to come and with so many administrative, financial, legal, and – of course – emotional issues to sort out I was simply not able to continue with school.
Life continued as it somehow manages to do and before long I found myself in a career and soon with a family of my own. Many things had happened over the course of this time but I had never given up the hope of continuing my education and earning an MBA.
One night, while surfing the Internet, I decided to look into area schools that offered an MBA program thinking that if there was a school close enough I could juggle some night classes to get me back on track. But I found something better.
What I found was an online MBA program that would allow me to finish the education I had started but without having to actually attend a physical classroom. There were many online degrees to choose from including an online business degree, a Masters in Education, an online IT degree and even a degree in Nonprofit Management, among many others.
I am happy to say that I am finally going back to school. My online MBA program will deliver me the accomplishment that I have waited so long to achieve.

Financial Difficulties for MBA students as described in The Harbus

As jarring and troubling as the news has been for all of us here at HBS, for international students, the perspective is peppered with shifting expectations, challenged perceptions of America, and personal worries as the tightening of the credit markets leave many students wondering how they'll finance the balance of their education. The unfolding of the current financial crisis has all of us glued to our televisions, blackberries and newspapers as we try to adjust our career choices, goals and lives in general. It seems as if every day there is more news accumulating: another firm down, another horrible day in the market, increasing talk of the global repercussions of America's mistakes.
