19. International MBA Congress
of Cracow School of Business CUE
International MBA Congress is an undertaking addressed to managers of the highest levels – students,
graduates, management and faculty of particular MBA programs in Poland as well as future participants
in MBA programs. Its main idea is to integrate vast circles of people whose career development
paths are connected with Master of Business Administration Studies. It also is an opportunity for an
extraordinary meeting of the world of science and business.
MBA Congress is an effort to build an active platform for cooperating, exchanging experiences,
broadening knowledge and horizons of management. The content-related aspect of the meeting is
extremely important, as it is realized through an appropriate selection of topics in particular panels and
through an invitation of outstanding specialists in both the scientific and business fields. Participants
in discussion panels share their experiences and learn how experts from the world of science and
business deal with similar problems.
Besides exploring theoretical and practical issues of management, pursuing the MBA studies can be
characterized by the possibility of integrating the managerial environment. Interpersonal contacts
constitute an important element of success in business, hence apart from lectures, discussion panels
and study visits in the largest companies of the Malopolska Region, the participants will meet at the
gala ceremony combined with a charity auction, MBA evening. On the last day of the Congress there
will be a golf event for the Cup of the Director of CSB CUE.
International MBA Congress has many years of tradition, and its organization is an example of
integrating activities aiming at, on the one hand, education and integration of the MBA environment,
and on the other hand, at the creation and active shaping of the Polish economy, business environment
for companies and entrepreneurship development, setting new trends and good practice in business.
The CSB Alumni MBA Club, which functions at the School, is a continuation of this idea.
Cracow School of Business at the Cracow University of Economics aims at making the annual congress
meetings an important item on the agenda of every MBA manager.
