The study curriculum covers key aspects of
business activity in major areas of business management. Participants
gain thorough, highly practical knowledge which will enable them to
solve business problems effectively and make difficult decisions related
to conducting business at the operational and strategic levels
(including those related to international issues, with a particular
emphasis on the specifics of the Central and Eastern Europe region).
What distinguishes the curriculum is a
combination of academic knowledge with the experience of business
practitioners. As a result, classes are run in an inspiring atmosphere,
with much focus on teamwork which uses both the support and challenges
posed by a group. A lot of attention is paid to the development of
universal and professional skills.
Management
Management (or managing) is the administration of an organization, whether it is a business, a not-for-profit organization, or government body. Management includes the activities of setting the strategy of an organization and coordinating the efforts of its employees (or of volunteers) to accomplish its objectives through the application of available resources, such as financial, natural, technological, and human resources. The term "management" may also refer to those people who manage an organization.
Management
Management as an activity has always existed to make people’s desires through organized effort. Management facilitates the efforts of people in organized groups and arises when people seek to cooperate to achieve goals.

Management
In the long-run the workman may be as necessary to his master as his master is to him, but the necessity is not so immediate.
Adam Smith (1776) The Wealth of Nations Chapter VIII, p. 80
Management
Mission is at the heart of what you do as a team. Goals are merely steps to its achievement. Mission has an eternal quality. Goals are time bound and once achieved, are replaced by others.
