Welcome note
The vision of the COTRUGLI Business School is to train and develop a new breed of managers who are able to assimilate the changes that are taking place, and to use their global and regional knowledge to build solutions to ride the wave of change. They need to be local with a global footprint.
The world is undergoing a rapid and significant change, as there is a distinct move from a uni-polar world to a multi-polar world. The share of emerging markets in the global economy is already significant and rising rapidly and therefore nations need to adapt and firms need to react to this new reality. Economies in transition that include the Eastern European countries are in a position to benefit from this geopolitical situation if they are ready and prepared. To this effect they need to be proactive and anticipate the change.
With a programme, which is internationally accredited, a world-class faculty, a management and administrative team ready to anticipate and react, and above all a solid alumni base, the COTRUGLI Business School is ready to rise up to the global challenge of managing the change.
Indeed the programme is designed to reinforce the conceptual base of managers so that they are able to build on the existing theory, integrate changes both in terms of economic and technological fields and derive the necessary confidence to develop their own models.
We should however not forget that a company is like a living organism, which changes and has to adapt to the changing environment; therefore management education cannot be considered just as a toolkit. At COTRUGLI participants get the opportunity to work closely with international experts who possess a solid theoretical background, which forms the basis for the confrontation of the reality of management, where creation of value for all stakeholders, including the society, is the central focus.
