  • F1 Digest – Prelude to the Italian Grand Prix
    F1 Digest – Prelude to the Italian Grand Prix Christine: You’re likely to find most previews, audio or visual, to the Italian Grand Prix starting with an emotional and moving montage. With a rich racing history such as this, there’s a lot of love for the Monza circuit. The Italian fans are uniQue in temperament, rabid about the success of their beloved Ferrari team. The pressure is on for the team to pull something out of the bag, for the home crowd, and for their own championship challenge. But, the Monza track is fast and furious, a challenge in its own way, despite the lack of corners. Each inch of tarmac oozes historical significance, ramping up the aura of the weekend every step of the way. Essentially, Monza sums up what Formula One is all about – speed and supremacy. Mr C: This is F1 Digest – Prelude to the Italian Grand Prix – a race preview brought to you by Sidepodcast, covering all the need-to-know facts about the upcoming race weekend at Monza. Here’s your host, Christine Blachford. Christine: Belgium managed to spring a surprise in terms of the weather, as despite constant talk of rain, it was a dry race. The long range forecasts for Monza this weekend show a similar pattern to that which we expected at Spa – sunshine on Friday, which should start to cloud over on Saturday for Qualifying, and then the potential for scattered storms and showers on Sunday. Drivers at Spa were hoping for weather conditions that would suit their car – some hoping for the race to stay dry as they were faster on the slicks, others hoping for the rain to appear to mix things up and give them a bit of a chance at the weather-related lottery.

  • Santander and Formula One (A)
    IES250 October 2011 Santander and Formula One (A) Introduction In the final months of 2009, Santander’s Board reflected on the Bank’s recent progress in brand unification. Starting with the UK’s Abbey National which had been acquired in 2004, Santander had been making great progress in its effort to rebrand local offices, gained in over 10 years of acquisitions, under the Santander name. According to Chairman Emilio Botín, “Our position as an international group, with multinational management, creates the need to present a unified image within the market to customers and to society overall. This common identity reinforces the value of our brand and creates internal solidarity as well as external visibility, trust and credibility. There is no doubt that becoming ‘more of a group’ is the general ambition.” In 2007, physical rebranding of the branch offices was beginning and Santander management had identified the need for a communications platform that would facilitate brand recognition across its various new markets. As Santander’s Second Vice-Chairman and CEO Alfredo Sáenz explained, “In a sector like finance, the ability to generate trust in the market and, in particular, with investors and customers, is crucial. Thus, companies must have a communications strategy that facilitates relevant and transparent information, which allows for proper function within the markets, reduces reputational risk, plays an essential role in our corporate government model, and helps create a powerful corporate culture and a strong brand image.” This case was prepared by Professor Julián Villanueva and Julie Ziskind, Research Assistant, as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation.
