  • Real Estate Cross Functional Concentration
    REAL ESTATE CROSS FUNCTIONAL CONCENTRATION Real Estate is a cross functional concentration which means it must be paired with a functional concentration of your choosing. A cross functional concentration provides a breadth of exposure regarding a particular industrial sector or an area of business through related courses from within Questrom and across the University. Students interested in Real Estate may be interested in careers in that specific industry. However, this cross functional concentration can also encompass a wide range of areas including: finance, marketing, management, construction, and sales. Being a cross functional concentration allows you to pair your industry interest and knowledge with combined skills to compete in a specific area within the larger Real Estate sector. A cross functional concentration in Real Estate can lead to a variety of career paths. As such, students are encouraged to select a Functional Concentration that pairs with their area of additional interest. The choices with the more common pairings are Finance, Marketing, Management Information Systems, and Entrepreneurship. For more information on required courses to complete a Real Estate cross functional concentration please visit HERE. CORPORATE REAL ESTATE AND DEVELOPMENT Corporate real estate professionals are experts in a wide range of disciplines including acquisitions, leasing, dispositions, facilities management, workspace design, finance, among others. The types of companies that hire corporate real estate professionals are generally large corporations with extensive real estate holdings. They include publicly traded companies and large privately-owned companies, both domestic and international.

  • Corporate Real Estate Management in the Retail Sector a Study of the Relationship Between the Management of the Corporate Real Estate and Corporate Performance
    AMERICAN REAL ESTATE SOCIETY ANNUAL MEETING, 1999 Corporate Real Estate Management in the Retail Sector A study of the relationship between the management of the corporate real estate and corporate performance Virginia A Gibson** Senior Lecturer & BT Property Research Fellow Department of Land Management & Development The University of Reading Whiteknights, Reading, RG6 6AW UK Tel: +44 (0)118 931 8174 Fax: +44 (0)118 931 8172 e-mail [email protected] Dr Richard Barkham CB Hillier Parker UK e-mail [email protected] ** author for correspondence Corporate Real Estate Management in the Retail Sector Abstract Retail organisations have often been cited as being at the forefront of corporate real estate management. This research found that the retail sector can be characterised by diversity both in terms of the degree to which organisations are vertically integrated and in terms of the range of modes of retailing they engage in. This in turn led to highly diverse real estate portfolios. Given this diversity it may be surprising that the over riding strategy which the vast majority of sample firms adopted was focused on supporting the core retail activity. However the way in which they implement this strategy, again reflected the diversity in the sector. In terms of the future, the senior real estate managers were focusing on the medium term particularly looking at the way change would impact their functional strategy. This study provides a snap-shot of current practice and contributes to the debate however it also recognised that there is a need to answer the more fundamental questions.

  • City Branding: Part 2: Observation Towers Worldwide Architectural Icons Make Cities Famous
    City Branding: Part 2: Observation Towers Worldwide Architectural Icons Make Cities Famous What’s Your City’s Claim to Fame? By Jeff Coy, ISHC Paris was the world’s most-visited city in 2010 with 15.1 million international arrivals, according to the World Tourism Organization, followed by London and New York City. What’s Paris got that your city hasn’t got? Is it the nickname the City of Love? Is it the slogan Liberty Started Here or the idea that Life is an Art with images of famous artists like Monet, Modigliani, Dali, da Vinci, Picasso, Braque and Klee? Is it the Cole Porter song, I Love Paris, sung by Frank Sinatra? Is it the movie American in Paris? Is it the fact that Paris has numerous architectural icons that sum up the city’s identity and image --- the Eiffel Tower, Arch of Triumph, Notre Dame Cathedral, Moulin Rouge and Palace of Versailles? Do cities need icons, songs, slogans and nicknames to become famous? Or do famous cities simply attract more attention from architects, artists, wordsmiths and ad agencies? Certainly, having an architectural icon, such as the Eiffel Tower, built in 1889, put Paris on the world map. But all these other things were added to make the identity and image. As a result, international tourists spent $46.3 billion in France in 2010. What’s your city’s claim to fame? Does it have an architectural icon? World’s Most Famous City Icons Beyond nicknames, slogans and songs, some cities are fortunate to have an architectural icon that is immediately recognized by almost everyone worldwide.
