• Decentralized time-keeping and organization

CEMS runners at the WU IfU

Managementmeile in summer 2012

Possibility: WU IfU-Managementmeile

in Vienna on 14th June 2013

Occasion / Event

Every year, the Institute for Strategic Management and

Management Control (IfU) of the WU Vienna organizes a 5km

run called „WU IfU Managementmeile“:

• 14 June 2013, 18:30

• Participation fee of € 7,00

• All WU students, faculty and

stakeholders can participate

• Professional time-keeping via chip

• Individual running and/or teams of 3

• Awards and prizes

• www.wu.ac.at/ifu/network/meile

The IfU-Institute of WU Vienna

and its head of institute have

already given their approval.

Organization

In the context of the Management-Mile a

CEMS competition could be incorporated.

• CEMS Office Vienna + CEMS Club Vienna

as main organizers

• Nearby universities (St. Gallen, Budapest,…)

could come to run the actual Managementmeile

• CEMS Office Vienna would pay the participation

fee for all CEMS runners present in Vienna

• Other universities would join to run

simultaneously

• Time-keeping would be decentralized, then

transmitted to Vienna to evaluate the winners

Rules

The following is a proposition for rules (additional to

the ones by the IfU-Institute)

• Unlimited number of universities, unlimited number of runners

• eligible: CEMS students, faculty, office personnel, alumni, CP rep‘s

• Per university set-up of teams possible

• Participation as individual runner, and additionally as teams possible

• Teams of 3 people, separated into 2 categories: Students & mixed

• Mixed teams = min. 1 current student & 1 faculty member/staff/CP rep

• 5 km track

• Time-keeping via RunTastic or Nike Plus (in Vienna via chip)

• Photos / pictures as proof for actual running to be provided

Tracking

In Vienna there will be professional time-keeping with

a running chip. For the other universities, the use of

a running app would be recommendable.

1. Runtastic App / Nike+

The apps are available for all kinds of smartphone and

allows you to upload tracks on the web and compare times.

Other apps would also be eligible, however, then a

screenshot would have to be sent.

→ However, preferred solution: 1 common app

2. Stopwatch

For participants without a smartphone, normal stopwatch

time-keeping would also be an option (predefined track

necessary). The time would have to be registered and send

via e-mail, together with the other times.

Competitions

Besides the invidual competition there will be a team score:

• 2 categories: CEMS-STUDENTS and CEMS-MIXED

• 1 team = 3 people

• Mixed: min. 1 student, min. 1 faculty/office/CP

• Unlimited number of teams

• Teams have to be announced upfront

In addition, one could implement winners for

• Best track (sights/scenery/shape)

• Best outfits

• Best team picture

• Best university (average time of all runners)

Party / Conference Call

After the times have been transmitted (via app or simply e-

mail contact) and the evaluation has taken place, a

common conference call could be held to announce the

winners.

• Times should be transmitted via e-mail or on the app platform

immediately after the run

• Prepared timesheet (Google Docs)

to evaluate winners once all data

have been entered

• Conference call via Skype / Google

Hangout to announce winners

Next steps

In case that the proposition is well received by the CEMS

Head Office and other CEMS universities, these would be

the following next steps

• Approach IfU-Institute to check whether they approve such a

competition within the Managementmeile

• Set up official rules

• Invite all CEMS universities and CEMS Clubs

• Set up a registration form and tracks
