“How Anglo-Saxon Universities Keep the Global Leadership Position in (MBA) Education”?

MBA Croatia is organizing a new lecture on December 17th at the Forum Zagreb Convention Center starting at 6 pm.

The topic of the lecture is:

“How Anglo-Saxon Universities Keep the Global Leadership Position in (MBA) Education”?

The first MBA was taught at Harvard University 110 years ago. A century later, Anglo-Saxon Schools still dominate the business school landscape. Is it because their scholars understand that the rate of return to schooling equates the net present value of lifetime earnings of the individual to the costs of education?

The lecture will address, based on the personal educator, researcher, and investor’s experience, this and other questions such as:

Why it’s not only in business education but also education in general that the Anglo-Saxon model keeps its global competitive advantage? How the relative value of skills, knowledge, and teaching methods explain the ROI in education? Is it only about bringing the theoretical and experiential side of education together? What is the role of problem-solving, case examples, team building, storytelling skills? What are they looking for, horizontal cross-cutting or vertical integrative skills? How they build the social capital out of social networks, and why is your network your net-worth? How AS universities teach to lead and develop teams? What is the connection between the concept of alumni and the famous Aesop fable? How are postmodern universities competing and collaborating with Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, IBM? How do the AS universities deal with the change that’s happening in various industries and sectors and thrive through their adaptive leadership? How do they provide the most value, the highest return on investment to those companies that are recruiting talent from all across the globe now? What are the leading trends and future of the (MBA) education? How can one university-related project skyrocket the Croatian economy while responding to the global human capital challenge?
