The Academic Association of Business Schools (EMBAC) is an institution that helps cutting-edge schools share experiences and disseminate knowledge. Kyiv-Mohyla Business School has been part of the global EMBAC network for more than four years, thanks to which, in particular, kmbs as a leader in management education is in a common field with top institutions, involved in discussing and solving business education at the international level.
The annual final conference of the Executive MBA Council took place on October 25-27. The association includes about two hundred business schools, that is, such conferences have a representative and effective format - a constructive discussion of experts on current challenges in the field of management education.
The wording of the topics in the conference program already shows that the leading speakers, and thus the business education community, reflect the concepts of "diversity" and "inclusiveness" (inclusion here is the ability and ability to work with diversity). And most of the topics before the discussion focus on how not to lose the subject in these processes. In addition to the simple wording of the speeches, the complexity and importance of such a task arises: "In search of an inner hero: the role of psychological capital for mental well-being" or "Approaching tomorrow: what students and employers want and what it means for business schools", etc.
A separate topic discussed at the conference was the role of business school graduates in communities and society, which means that it was about the conditions and principles that shape the community. Ultimately, the goal of institutions such as EMBAC is primarily to strengthen the community.
Kyiv-Mohyla Business School was represented at the EMBAC conference by Eduard Maltsev, Deputy Dean of kmbs.
