SUMMER SCHOOL ON MANAGEMENT IN GLOBAL AND EUROPEAN BUSINESS
INTRODUCTION
The global business environment is constantly becoming more international and culturally diverse requiring leaders to face new challenges related to leadership, international trade, cross-cultural communication and effective human resources management. The Summer Program on Global and European Business Management aims at responding to the needs of future managers working for international organizations and across national borders.
The two-week program will address issues related to the European business environment, cross-cultural communication, personnel management, diversity in organizations etc. Participants will take part in seminars and workshops as well as study visits in order to better understand the issues related to international business-making and management issues in global organizations.
The University of Social Sciences and Humanities was established by eminent professors of the Polish Academy of Sciences and is now one of the largest and most prestigious non-public universities in Poland. Our University is more dynamic, flexible, modern and less bureaucratic in its operations than any higher education institution in Poland. We offer classes in smaller groups which enables direct and easy access to professors. Also, our high-end facilities such as the excellent multi-media library, computer rooms, the use of the most modern technologies or language learning equipment allow our students to maximize the effects of their learning. We believe in people who value self-development and want to make their dreams come true. They give us motivation for continuous improvement so that we could offer education and research on the highest level.
