International Universities

As for international universities, of major importance is the cooperation with the Czech Republic`s University of Finance and Administration in Prague.

School of Management (VŠM) has also a long established cooperation with Wirtschatfuniversitaet Wien, in particular, with two departments: the Competence Center for Central and Eastern Europe (prof. Arnold Schuh) and Department of Management ( Prof. Juergen Muehlbacher, Prof. Helmut Kasper, Prof. Wolfgang Mayrhofer). In November 2009, our university held a day of academic research for the workers of the Department of Management WU Wien, where IBM ISC Bratislava presented to them and they had an opportunity to visit the company. It is reasonable to presume that the cooperation will carry on in the future, mostly via the School of Management`s (VŠM) involvement in a long term international project C5 led by Prof. Mayrhofer.

Besides the earlier mentioned conference, the School of Management (VŠM) ran for its staff and students a series of lectures delivered by outstanding scholars of reputed institutions from abroad (Prof. Dan Denison, IMD Lausanne) for example, was kind enough to share with us the results of his research in the area of change management; Prof. Gretchen Speitzer, Vice-Dean of the Ross School of Business, the University of Michigan informed us about the outcomes of research at the Michigan School POS – Positive Organizational Scholarship. Prof. Aneel Karnani, of the same institution, gave a talk on changes in strategies of multinational corporations over the last decade.
