Kozminski University joining the Consortium serves primarily to increase the managerial competence of our executive MBA students, who learn the secrets of international business with similar leaders at the best business schools in the world. Our participation in this elite group also serves to further internationalize our Executive MBA program. It already has a strong position in the "Financial Times" ranking. In 2020 it was ranked 63rd in the world, but we have the ambition to reach much higher. Currently, MBA students take part in a week-long exchange with our strategic partner ESCP Business School. Now there will be more such opportunities - explains Prof. Grzegorz Mazurek, Rector of KU.

 

 

We are looking forward to this exchange. We hope to welcome students from other countries here in Poland, and we are sure that our own students will benefit from going abroad to visit Partner Universities. The planned groups are small (3-4 people each), so that students can fully experience the local academic, scientific and business life. - says Sylwia Hałas-Dej, Director of Kozminski Executive Business School. - Through meetings with students and managers from other countries, discussions with academics and business practitioners from all over the world, KU's Executive MBA students can gain a truly global perspective which will be essential for economies returning to normal after last year's turmoil.

Visited Bologna Business School, Italy

My participation in the EMBA International Week, at Bologna Business School was not only a unique international training experience for myself but also an uncommon networking and cultural experience. Thoughtful combination of innovation and modern trends with deeper insight into well-known Italian industries and local market was behind a high-quality training programme offered by Bologna Business School. My curiosity in different approaches towards innovation and new technologies to explore and develop new business opportunities along with networking with peers from different countries and cultures was satisfied by the programme.

Visits in Italian companies provided valuable insight into industry in Emilia Romania region and different business strategies. Practical activities and workshops in multinational teams contributed to networking and deeper understanding local and global perspective. Bologna Business School is a great host organisation that builds inclusive and modern learning environment and provides firsthand experience of the vibrant and diverse culture of Bologna and the region. I strongly recommend the participation in the EMBA international week and thank you for this unique opportunity!

Visited The Lucas Graduate School of Business, San Jose, USA

Our classes, conducted in the heart of innovation - Silicon Valley in San Jose, provided invaluable knowledge and inspiration, showing innovation as a fundamental activity and success in business. The classes focused on topics such as innovation, the latest trends in technology, enterprise strategies, generative AI and leadership skills. In addition to the intensive educational program, we had the opportunity to explore the west coast of the United States. Every element of this trip was unforgettable and there is no need to advertise the West Coast :)

One of the most important conclusions from the program is the realization that business challenges are universal, regardless of geographical latitude. The exchange of ideas with international leaders and managers revealed that despite cultural differences, we share the same goals, ambitions and face the same challenges in everyday work. Moreover, Polish managers, thanks to their high level of competence, can effectively compete on the global market.

We only need better advertising in the world, and education at the Kozminski University certainly helps with this.

Visited Munich Business School, Germany

I enrolled in the International Week at the Munich Business School. Together with a number of new acquaintances that I made during the course in Germany, I had an incredible time. Everything from lectures on hidden champions, production development, and challenges within family businesses to the numerous dynamic activities and site visits that comprise the course, we were afforded the opportunity to exchange professional insights and perspectives on critical subjects such as succession planning, environmental concerns, and HR issues.

I would like to extend my gratitude to the professors, speakers, and companies that have contributed to the Consortium program's constructive learning environment.

Visited Florida International University, Miami, USA 

Participating in the EMBA Consortium week at Florida International University (FIU) was an exceptional experience that expanded my understanding of Customer Experience (CX) in today's digital business environment. The dynamic discussions led by top FIU professors and engaging meetings with experienced U.S. business leaders provided invaluable insights and practical approaches. Especially valuable were interactions with American managers who embodied a clear "business first" mindset, demonstrating a pragmatic approach to business challenges.

The organization of classes and extracurricular events by FIU was perfectly executed, creating a stimulating yet enjoyable environment.Networking with MBA students from the USA, Peru, Japan, the UK, Italy as well as from Poland offered a truly global perspective, and the connections formed during this week are genuinely unforgettable.

Additionally, witnessing baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani's historic 50/50 achievement live was a unique highlight—I’m sure FIU must have planned this remarkable event just for us! Not to mention the vibrant charm and captivating atmosphere of Miami itself, which added an extra dimension of enjoyment to the entire experience!

I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking to enrich their strategic thinking, enhance their professional skills, and connect meaningfully with a diverse international business community. This unforgettable week will undoubtedly positively influence my daily work and career trajectory.
