Words From the Dean

Contrasts bring excitement to life; we need contrasts to thrive, and maybe even to survive. What comes first to mind for me when thinking about contrasts is my work life compared to my leisure time.

At work, I carry a certain type of responsibilities. I am largely guided by my calendar, and by expectations from those that I work with. I use my head a lot and my body very little. I think about things such as strategy, work environment, incentives, finances, quality systems, rankings and accreditations.

Outside work, I do my very best to release myself from such duties. I keep myself busy with completely different types of distractions than those at work. Most of what I do is related to family life and activities with my children.

I am a cycling coach for my son and his team mates. We go to races every weekend. We get sweaty and muddy. Sometimes we crash. Once I broke my collarbone. The week after I had to dress up in a tail-coat for the academic ceremony at the university. The fluorescent colored shoulder-lock made quite a good contrast to the tail-coat.

I also join my daughter in the stable regularly. There I am really low rank (despite paying all the bills…). I have to carry the heavy stuff, and clean up the trash (horses produce a lot of trash). I am not trusted to do advanced tasks there, and I get no support whatsoever for the less advanced tasks. This reality is quite much of a contrast to my life at work. I like those contrasts – they make me feel more complete;

as a person with a richer identity than just being a professor and a Dean.

Also in work life there are contrasts, even if they do not come very often. When I moved to JIBS seven years ago, I left a job as director at a centre at one of our public universities. The university was the same university as where I did my PhD a decade earlier. I knew the organisation very well, I knew how to play the game there. Moving to JIBS was in many ways different. The young, small, specialized and semi-private business school allowed for significantly more flexibility than the old, large and comprehensive public university. Now, seven years later, I have learnt how to play the game also here, and I can add some achievements to the trajectory of the school (the most recent – actually revealed the same day as I write this text – is another five year EQUIS accreditation).

Since I think contrasts bring excitement, it is now time for me to leave the comfort zone again. This summer I will end my mandate as Dean and Managing Director of JIBS and take on a new challenge at another university. This is thus the last text I write for this magazine. I want to end it with a big, warm and heartfelt THANK YOU, and wish you all the very best of luck with your futures.

Words From the Editor

It is now time to present to you our 2023 Summer Edition of the JIBS United Magazine. As always, we take pride in our work and hope that you will enjoy all of the content encompassed in this Issue. The Summer months are filled with lots of exciting events and we hope that the magazine will help the Graduating Class of 2023 reminisce about their time here at JIBS. For those of you that will not graduate, your time has not come yet. You have so much more to experience! I myself am part of the ones that will leave Jönköping with fond memories this summer. My experience as Project Manager has been exceptional and I am proud of myself and the team for what we have achieved in such a short year. The JUBEL x JUNITED Pub Quiz was incredibly successful and we hope that it will be so for the foreseeable future. I have enjoyed every single second representing the magazine at JU and I would like to thank the team for creating friendships that I hope to maintain and for being dedicated to our project. Without them, these releases and events would not have been possible.

This edition’s theme is Contrast. We would like you to think about the contrast in your life; the contrast between your personal and professional life, the contrast between situations in your life, and contrast as an important human developmental tool. Contrast helps us appreciate the good moments experienced in our life. Contrast helps us grow as humans. Contrast can be an asset for creativity and positive transformation. Contrast can also help us understand and be compassionate of others;

it helps us celebrate our differences.

In this magazine, you will find articles tackling masculinity, femininity, contrasting personalities, the world of online dating and body standards. We feel that these topics are highly relevant in the 21st century and among our peers. You will also be treated to the recurring Coffee Break Article featuring a JIBS alumni, content from notable events of Spring/ Summer 2023, the winner of our Haiku Contest and a Contrast themed Word Search!

With that, I leave you to enjoy the magazine and its contents.

Signing off as the Editor In Chief for the last time,

WRITER | Aser Humeidi

How would you treat someone you meet for the first time?

You’d probably try to be nice and accommodating, I’m sure. What about when you meet your best friend? You’d probably still be nice to them (I hope), but you’d be much more relaxed and not as concerned about making a good impression. The contrast between the way we treat different people in our social circles is a given. However, this difference in treatment has led to a prevailing narrative of “fakeness” being cultivated in recent discourse. Take, for example, your friend who couldn’t hangout today because they were busy, but you see them hanging out with someone else. They seem to be a lot more talkative with the person they are talking to, which makes you feel a bit betrayed. Usually, they’re not that talkative around you. Does that mean that they don’t enjoy your company as much? Or that they are fake friends?

If we put aside the overthinking part, that I’m sure most of us are very familiar with, what you have just experienced was a negative reaction triggered by seeing a different part of your friend. By putting on a different face and acting differently towards others, it makes you question how genuine your friendship is. If you have ever had a similar experience, I’m happy to tell you two important things: first, you’re not alone in this experience, and second, you’ve just fallen into what psychologists call the Fundamental Attribution Error (FAE for short). FAE is the

tendency for people to attribute the actions of others to their disposition (aka personality), while attributing their own actions to situation. In the situation with your friend earlier, we attributed them being more talkative to their personality by assuming that they did not enjoy our company as much, when in reality they may have just watched a surprisingly interesting show and were trying to convince their other friend how great it was.

FAE is a common cognitive error where we ignore a situation in favor of a simpler explanation like “Oh, they don’t like me” or “They are fake”. It’s a common occurrence thanks to our egocentric bias (thinking that the world revolves around us), which leads us to oversimplify the relationships we have in order to come up with a quick and satisfying conclusion. Unfortunately, FAE is usually wrong and just leads to even more overthinking on our part. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you how complicated human relationships are and how they often become very messy. We need to be more aware of what we do unconsciously, because reducing a person’s entire existence to one action and then judging them by that said action often leads to disaster.

12

To borrow from a Japanese proverb

Leaving aside the depressing underlying message we can never show others our true selves because our existence should be molded into something palatable for society, the message is (somewhat) positive. People have different faces put on for different people in their lives. Moreover, the way we treat our friends also varies from friend to friend. No two friends are the same, they have different personalities, preferences, and things they’re comfortable with, so of course you’re going to treat them differently. I guess what I’m trying to get at in this mishmash of an article is that we should try to be more accepting of our friends and their different faces. While there may only be two of us in this room, there are multiple faces hiding under each of us. I wish for a day in which friends can accept and cherish their friends, not just the face shown to you, but the collection of faces that make up these wonderful individuals we call friends.

Beauty Standards Between Men and Women

From Skinny Waist to a Chiseled Face

15
WRITER | Amrita Bhowmik

Beauty standards have evolved drastically for both men and women throughout the centuries. However, living in the current generation of social media ,we are constantly bombarded with unattainable beauty standards for both the genders but especially for women.

Historically, women have always been forced into conforming to the societal beauty standards. They have been held to a higher beauty standards than men as their worth is significantly based on their physical appearance. With the rise of social media, influencers and celebrities frequently pressuring women to follow fleeting trends, which can range from having a small waist to having full hips in a matter of months. Majority of such influencers attribute their bodies to protein shakes, weight loss gummies, and waist trainers which they are trying to sell to their impressionable young female audience, however, in reality they achieve such bodies with the help of professional nutritionists who monitor their weight, professional editors who photoshop and face tune their pictures and videos and conducting multiple cosmetic surgeries on their bodies. In recent years, cosmetic surgeries have been promoted heavily and have been accessible easily which makes women more prone to fall under pressure and

conduct harmful surgeries with some cases of women removing their ribs in order to have a skinnier waist. Beauty standards also vary by culture and ethnicities, in western cultures, women spray tan themselves to have a more bronzed complexion while in Asian and African cultures women are pressured to wear fairness creams and bleach their skin and be paler in order to be accepted by society. Moreover, the most prominent beauty standard which is portrayed through the media is the European beauty standards of blue eyes and blonde hair which often excludes women of color and make them feel unattractive and causes a low self esteem. Unfortunately, I believe that in order to advance to more inclusive and positive conceptions of beauty, it will take a considerable amount of work to question these detrimental beauty standards and break toxic patterns that result in self-loathing in women.

In contrast, beauty standards for men over the centuries have been more consistent. From

16

ancient Greece to the 19th century Europe , the desirable physical features consisted of muscular and athletic build, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Hence, the beauty standard for men has perpetually been focused more on masculinity such as virility, facial hair, height and strong jawline. However, social media has definitely increased pressure on men to have an unachievable body type of muscular biceps and ripped abs which are impossible to achieve without the use of extreme measures such as steroids . However, there is also growing acceptance of diverse body types and styles, and beauty standards for men are becoming more inclusive and fluid. Men have been seen pushing back on traditional masculine standards by wearing makeup, painting their nails and even wearing skirts. Needless to say, the expectations are relatively less demanding than those placed on women simply due to the fact that a man’s worth is not based solely on his physical features but many other factors.

Beauty standards are harmful, whether it comes to men or women. They cause unattainable expectations and insecurities which can lead to body dysmorphia, low self esteem and even eating disorders. Beauty standards are also limiting as they reinforce harmful stereotypes and cage men and women in restrictive boxes of femininity and masculinity. Although women suffer far more than men due to societal beauty standards, it doesn’t mean that men are not subjected to unrealistic standards which are harmful for their mental and physical well being. Whilst, there is a vast difference between beauty standards and demands for men and women, both the sexes face the societal pressure to conform to these standards equally.

Coffee Break

Tove kindly agreed to my request for an interview for the Summer Edition of the magazine! Her in London and me in Jönköping, we started by introducing ourselves. As our theme is Contrast, the main focus of this Coffee Break is to explore some of the differences between student life and professional life! Tove is 25 and studied International Management here at JIBS, which she explains is not at all reflective of her job positions. While at JIBS, she was part of JUSA and the Student Union as well as working part time jobs. Before her time at JIBS, she says that it was important for her to try out different things before university in hopes to find her calling. Her first job was here in Sweden however, she received an offer for an executive position in the UK and she decided to move. Reflecting on this experience, she says she took a chance and went for it as Sweden was not quite what she was looking for. Since her graduation, she has been working exclusively in start-ups and is currently a Senior E-commerce Executive.

She tells me that for her there are some big differences between her experience at JIBS and her current work environment. She stresses the fact that she may be a bit more of a special case since she is working in a field completely different from what she studied. She undertook the IM program but in her job, she manages the business’ online operations, with main areas being in online sales, web development and search engine optimization. Besides that aspect, there are a lot of similarities in her work environment; it is a very international experience such as the one at JIBS and she says that taking part in associations and course projects helped prepare her for dealing with stakeholders in her professional life as well as coordinating her time and projects. A key difference is the importance of meeting deadlines. There is much more pressure in jobs to excel and meet deadlines which can at times require more planning to manage. The margin of error while working is much lower than at university.

The style of working also draws some similarities as well as differences she says. As a person, she likes to plan in advance and strives to be as coordinated as possible. She has done this at university and is doing so in her current workplace. Being coordinated is key in the workplace for reasons we will discuss shortly. A big difference between working styles is that in the workplace, you rely on other individuals and your work is directly impacted by others; she says in university that it is easier to be in control. Tove’s experience in start-ups is that the working style is agile and adaptive. You have to be flexible and be able to work last minute as well as solving situations and issues that you may be unprepared for.

Tove tells me that business school education prepares you for a lot of challenges and differences. Managing workloads in uni and collaborating with diverse individuals and cultures transcribes well in professional life. When looking at the curriculum; entrepreneurship and innovation helped her massively. She says business cases and practical courses are key to helping prepare students for their professional careers.

Looking back, she has some advice for students who are reading this article. You should make sure to just go out and try things, do things. You are young and should not solely be focused on settling down for a job. You should strive to do something you enjoy! Do not be afraid, take risks! She had everything career wise in Sweden, she was comfortable and yet, she took a risk moving which worked out incredibly well. If there is one thing she regrets, it is that she did not travel more during her studies and before her professional career.

Words From the President

For this topic, I want to compare the cultural shock in the three countries I have lived in; Guatemala, the United States, and Sweden.

Guatemala: One of the two biggest cultural shocks that friends encounter in Guatemala is the custom of kissing your opposite sex on the cheek when you greet them. When I first arrived in America, I encountered an older woman, and out of respect, I went in for the cheek kiss. To this day, I can clearly picture the astonishment on her face as I invaded her personal space. The second cultural shock in Guatemala is that everyone dances with everyone at salsa parties. There is no obligation to kiss or carry on a conversation with a stranger you dance with. Once the dance is over you move on to the next dance partner.

USA: The one thing I miss the most in America is Walmart. For those who have never been to a Walmart, it may sound funny, but it is quite useful for finding stuff. You don’t need to visit multiple stores in order to locate what you need because Walmart offers everything. If you need kitchen supplies, food, house repair tools, toys, clothes, medicine, or anything else, go to Walmart. Another cultural shock in America is the sports industry. But I’m not only referring to the professional leagues but the collegiate sports league (universities). It sometimes feels like sports go first and then studies. The only form of “payment” a student athlete can get is through scholarships, and the revenue the universities make out of selling game tickets is absurd.

Sweden: The primary thing that surprised me about Sweden is how quiet it is. It is pleasant since I have never been in a situation where I can hear my own thoughts. The second thing

that surprised me is how reliable individuals are. Last summer, in the early hours of the day, I lost my wallet, which included both my Swedish and my Guatemalan identification cards. Along with cash, and my Swedish and Guatemalan bank credit cards. The total cost of replacing all the documents and money in the wallet was estimated to be roughly $400. Around midday, I went to the police station to report that my wallet was missing. Around 4 o’clock, my roommate informed me that two elderly individuals had entered the building and had left my wallet outside the door. They only left a letter saying, “We found your wallet in the city,” without providing their names or phone numbers so that I could reach out and thank them. At that moment I realized I was in a whole other country.

To be able to adjust as quickly as possible while moving to a new country, I think it’s important to keep an open mind and be willing to learn from the local culture. If you are considering moving to a new country, I would wholeheartedly recommend it, because it will be an adventure that you won’t forget.

MEET THE JSA BOARD

How do you balance the demands of serving on the board with the other areas of your life? Can you contrast your life pre-board membership and post-board membership in this regard?

23
MEET THE JSA BOARD

Jose Evelynn Personally I find neither takes that much time, so I can just prioritize what I find most important to me but still have time for the other stuff with some time management. Before joining the board, I didn’t know that many people and only really was on campus for exams or group projects. Whereas know I partake in more fun activities on and off campus and have met more interesting people.

I prioritize the tasks of the board and of the projects and committees. It might be hard to differentiate the work life from the personal life but at the end of the day the hard work pays off. At the same time I make sure that I continuously carry out my hobbies. Outside of work I like to play sports, hanging out with friends, and taking naps. These three things make me happy, they help me distress and help me relax my mind. Every now and then it’s good to do something out of the ordinary; going for a swim at the beach, watching a live football game, or even going on an adventure that you haven’t planned at all. Carrying out with my hobbies and helping students through JSA are tasks I enjoy and appreciate.

Vipul Margit

I struggled a bit to balance JSA and other stuff in my life but eventually I adjusted, it just takes time. All I can say is that I am spending a lot more time bookkeeping than I thought.

I think it’s so easy to find balance because I am working with people that I care so much about, and I genuinely enjoy being around them. They are the ones who support me during work time and make me laugh all the time.

I see it as a great opportunity to grow in a safe environment that won’t judge you for mistakes. But it’s also a huge gift to be able to work with people who are so passionate together.

24

Therese Balancing the board and more personal matters can during certain periods be difficult, such as now when we have been juggling biannual, practising for our tacksittning for our wonderful projects, handovers etc.. Planning my time is very important to me, I utilise time blocking in my calendar to ensure I keep track of what needs to be done but also have a plan when I can do it. If something comes up, I make sure to reschedule the blocked time window.

My post-board experience is that although I had good time management skills before, I now recognise that working with other people means they might not be in the same time schedule as me. I have needed to be better at my communication for when I expect something, as well as being more lenient to people overall.

Jesper Before the board it felt like I had endless free time that I did nothing with since I only study the day before an assignment or exam. Now I have little free time, I have things to do all the time but I get to hang out with amazing driven people, I get to attend all types of great events and quite frankly, I don’t balance my time. 10/10, no regrets

The boring but true answer is time management. I have a schedule where I write down everything I need to do, small or big, to be able to manage my time. I try to do my obligations as soon as I can to get some time off to have a fun and relaxed free time, although it might be hard sometimes when a lot of things are going on at once.

The biggest change is definitely that I now have to use a calendar. Previously, I could have the things I needed to do in my head. Now, I need to write them down because it is simply too much to remember. A difference is also that I now might need to schedule when I do things in my free time. It is no longer a promise that I have time for it whenever. However, although it might sound tragic it has been a 100% worth it. It is giving more than it takes.

25

Finding a balance in the beginning is always hard, but when you do the things you love, there is time for everything. Setting a priorities and saving my energy only for important things have helped me a lot. The board and the people in it are things I deeply love, so it hardly ever feels like work. When you do something that you don’t like for a long time it becomes stress, but when you do things you love for a long time, it becomes passion.

I always used to say that I don’t have time, but it turns out that I had all of the time in the world, I was just not using it correctly. After I joined the board and I actually had a lot to do inside and outside of school, I started to manage my time a lot better. Now I just make time for everything and enjoy to see my schedule packed.

Balancing the work within the board with you personal and school life can be difficult from time to time. How I manage this personally is through planning and time management. Organizing a calendar and prioritizing what’s most important would be what I do most and my biggest tips!

I have noticed big changes when it comes to my time management after joining the board. Before joining, I wasn’t very organized. Now after being in the board for almost one year, I have noticed that I plan my time way better. I have become better at managing my time within the board, but also outside of JSA in my academics and my private life.

The Masculine, the Feminine,

and What Is Genuine?

What does it mean to be masculine? This was the question I asked my friends, acquaintances, and random strangers at JIBS. Strength, confidence, and leadership were the answers I heard most often when I asked about masculinity. When it came to femininity the most common answers were niceness, being emotional and being supportive. The funny thing about the answers people gave for both femininity and masculinity was that they were all neutral qualities. They were neither inherently masculine nor feminine.

31

Take for example

Is a man who supports his friends or family automatically feminine? Should a woman who is confident not speak up about her ideas out of a fear of appearing masculine?

I’m sure these examples seem incredibly silly to you dear reader, but it’s equally silly to treat these things as either strictly masculine or feminine. Why must we create a rift between masculinity and femininity and then assign incredibly rigid gender roles that dictate things such as “Men shouldn’t cry” or the age-old “Women are just more emotional”.

32

I’m sure you’ve realized by the incessant barrage of questions in this article that it’s incredibly silly to think of masculinity and femininity as exclusive to men or women respectively. What is more important to you, adhering to a particular set of patriarchal norms or is it actually embodying positive qualities like courage, confidence and leadership regardless of whether they are masculine or feminine? People should focus on what they want to do instead of concentrating on a nonsensical system of categorization that prevents people from doing certain things simply because they do not conform to society’s perceived notions of masculinity or femininity.

A great example of the active harm caused by the contrast between masculinity and femininity can be found when we look at the early programming scene in the United Kingdom. Before World War II, programming as menial labor that consisted of operating these unfamiliar machines for long considered unimportant and therefore delegated to the women in the UK unchanged until the end of the second world war, after which computers society. From governments to banking to construction, programming important and demanded job. As the importance of their job programmers were seen as unsuitable for such an important positions they held. The UK at this time needed programmers that ended up failing miserably as programming had many programmers but would not hire women because did not want to work “a woman’s job”. This ended overseas before finally relenting and employing its

At the end of the day, categorizing certain qualities way to live our lives. You as a human being while trying to be the best person you can that don’t make sense with even to do with your motivation

33

P.S. For the guys reading this, here’s a great way to see how wonderful life is without gender norms: try those aesthetic, fruity drinks at a bar. It’s much better than slamming shots at AKA only to regret it 20 minutes later (not speaking from experience).

programming was viewed long hours at a time. Such work was UK who excelled at it. This largely remained computers became much more integrated into British programming now had its status soar to be an incredibly grew, lower class women who made up the majority of the important job and therefore a lot of them ended up losing whatever programmers and tried its best to recruit male workers for the job but had an image as a woman’s job. So, at this point, the UK needed because such an important job was “a man’s job” and men at the time ended up costing the UK greatly, as it first had to recruit workers from its local female programmers.

qualities or professions as either masculine or feminine is a terrible being should be able to pursue what makes you genuinely happy can be. These silly norms, created by contrasting constructs even the tiniest bit of scrutiny should have nothing motivation to do what you want to do.

35 SWIPE
or The Contrast Between Online Dating and Real Life Dating
RIGHT LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?

Finding Love in the 21st century has become more challenging than ever with us having so many dating apps and social media that in one swipe you might have matched with your soulmate. However, can dating online always nurture true romantic relationships and can it ever replace meeting someone in real life and falling in love with them organically?

Traditional dating is hard to replace as meeting someone in real life helps you to experience their personality and establish if there is any chemistry between two people. You can understand how a person behaves, how they carry themselves and learn more about their pet peeves and triggers. Real life dating also helps you to get a sense of your potential partner’s physical appearance and lowers your chances of getting catfished. Intimacy is crucial for building a deep connection and is possible when dating in person because you are in the same physical location. Also, you would have a delightful story of how you two met to share with your friends and family. However, real life dating can be restrictive too with a limited dating pool, we might be unable to find our desired potential partner in smaller communities and limited social circles. Personally, rejection is much harder hitting and scarier in real-life dating than online, which is why people hesitate to pursue and approach others in their day-to-day life. Overall, real life dating can be quite time consuming but at the same time it is much more exciting and rewarding than online dating in many ways.

36
If traditional dating is like searching for a needle in a haystack, then online dating is like searching for a needle in a virtual haystack.

Approaching people in real life can be intimidating and awkward especially for shy and introverted people. That’s when apps such as Tinder, Hinge or Bumble can come in handy. Online dating is quite convenient as one can find their soulmate through one swipe on these platforms. Internet dating is quite easy since you can discover your soul mate with only one swipe. Furthermore, dating apps provide you the opportunity to communicate with individuals from all over the world that you might not otherwise run into in real life. In contrast to traditional dating, dating apps are a lot more upfront as people who are open about preferences and what they are seeking in a partner, whether it’s a hookup or a long-term relationship . Dating apps provide their users greater control to filter possible matches, read profiles, and take their time getting to know someone in-depth before meeting them in person. . Nonetheless,

Online dating can have a number of drawbacks, too. For instance, dating apps provide users the chance to alter their online profile, starting with their appearance. Dating apps provide their users greater control to filter possible matches, read profiles, and take their time getting to know someone in-depth before meeting them in person. Nonetheless, Online dating can have a number of drawbacks, too. For instance, dating apps provide users the chance

to alter their online profile, starting with their appearance. One can easily fall victim to catfishing by those who falsely represent themselves on their profiles by including outdated or misleading information and images. Oblivious users of these apps may fall victim to fraudsters and con artists who can swindle them of their money. Additionally, Dating apps can be highly addictive as they are so convenient and one might get addicted to the instant gratification of getting matches. Finally, online dating gives us the illusion that we have an infinite potential matches which makes us want to continue swiping as we feel that if we keep swiping we might find someone better, this makes it difficult to make meaningful connections with our existing matches making online dating just an overwhelming and exhausting experience. Hence I think the possibility of finding emotionally available and mature people online is one of the most difficult task. In my opinion most people choose dating apps as a last resort in their effort to find someone or download such apps right after a breakup in order to get a little ego boost and feel appreciated and less lonely. Although there are exceptions and you will find people who are genuinely interested in getting to

37

know you and date you but it’s on very rare occasions.

In the end, online dating and in-person dating are rather different experiences, so when determining which approach to consider, a person must take their individual preferences and interests into account. While some people might like the spontaneity and potential for an instant connection that come with in-person dating, others might favor the ease and flexibility of online dating. One strategy may work better for some people than the other, while both may work well for others. It’s crucial to be open to both approaches and experiment to see which suits you the best.
