2 мая AMBA & BGA проведет свой первый Центрально-Азиатский Форум, где бизнес-школы, расположенные непосредственно в регионе, смогут бесплатно принять участие. Центрально-Азиатский форум AMBA & BGA — это уникальная возможность для руководителей и сотрудников бизнес-школ узнать о передовом международном опыте, получить знания о том, как они могут улучшить и построить бизнес-школы с сильной международной репутацией.
Alongside this, AMBA & BGA will share how BGA’s Continuous Impact Model (CIM) and accreditation can be leveraged to improve a school’s value proposition to its stakeholders.
The one-day event will also invite speakers from business schools in the region and beyond, as well as officials from educational ministries to share their thoughts on the future of the management education industry.
Наряду с этим AMBA и BGA поделятся тем, как модель непрерывного воздействия BGA (CIM) и аккредитация могут быть использованы для улучшения ценностного предложения школы для ее стейкхолдеров.
На однодневное мероприятие также будут приглашены спикеры из бизнес-школ в регионе и за его пределами, а также представители министерств образования, чтобы поделиться своими мыслями о будущем управленческого образования.
