INE PAN offers an exceptional MBA Program entitled the MBA – Challenges in Emerging Markets. It provides sound knowledge of fundamental principles of operational management, finance, marketing, strategic planning and human resource management. It also capitalizes on the experience and expertise of Central European scholars and practitioners in the analysis of emerging markets.

Being aware of difficulties in combining challenging work with serious studies, the PAN Education Center has come up with a participant-friendly structure of the program, preserving at the same time its valuable and exciting content.

The Program is taught by members of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies, and visiting professors and practitioners who have excelled themselves not only in having internationally recognized achievements, but also in passing their knowledge and skills to their students.

The following courses will be offered during the two semesters of studies within our MBA Program:

• Financial Analysis
• Commercial and Tax Law
• Operational and Strategic
• Controlling
• Financial Risk Management
• Strategies
• Advanced Methods of Project
• Management
• International Marketing and Brand
• Management
• Investor Relations
• Strategic Management
• Human Resource Management and Public
• Relations
• E-Economy
• Techniques of Negotiations
• Organizational Behavior
• International Finance
• Accounting and Cost-Benefit Analysis
• Ethics and Responsibility in Business
• Managerial Economics

Field trips to such distinguished institutions as the National Bank of Poland and the Warsaw Stock Exchange are also part of the program of MBA.

Being the leading research institution in the field of economic studies in Poland, the Institute of Economics of the Polish Academy of Sciences is entitled to run doctoral programs and award doctoral degrees to those who have completed them. One of the programs it offers is the Two-Year Doctor of Business Administration Program.

For those who show inclination for in-depth scientific study and research there is a possibility of continuing education (for two – three extra years) which results in writing (under supervision of a chosen professor) a PhD dissertation and defending it. These additional studies allow one to earn the PhD degree in economics. Usually, program participants seek the certificate of completion of doctoral studies and the DBA diploma without subsequent writing and defending of the PhD dissertation.

The EDBA Program welcomes candidates who are interested in conducting some original research project in the field of business, management, finance, or international trade. In contrast to master of business administration programs, doctor of business administration programs lay stress on applying the gained knowledge and skills through carrying out an independent research project on a methodologically rigorous basis. Our EDBA Program has an edge over other similar programs in that we nurture, encourage and develop participants’ competences of problem-solving, cause-effect analysis, and strategic planning. We expect our graduates not only to proudly join international associations of DBA holders, or critically reflect upon their own business experience, but also enter a qualitatively new level of understanding of difficulties at their workplaces and have enough intellectual courage and acumen to see how these may be resolved.

During the two years of studies our EDBA Program will cover many fascinating topics and themes. Here is a list of them:

• Financial Market Instruments
• Market Strategies
• Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Market Management
• New Era of Innovation
• Strategic Research and Analysis
• Strategy Implementation for Gaining a Competitive Advantage
• Human Resources
• Knowledge Management
• Behavioral Theory of Decision Making
• Leadership
• Mentoring, Coaching
• Negotiation Techniques
• Purchase – Consumer Decisions
• Hazard and Risk
• Company Value Management
• Contemporary IT Technologies
• Contemporary Management Concepts
• Social Engagement
• Benchmarking
• Life Plans and Personal Development of CEOs
• Health and Well-Being
• Entertainment
• Corporate Communication
• Family Business
• Philanthropy
• Creativeness
• Politics and World Affairs
• Crisis Management
• Goal - Passion - Ethics

Which course finds itself in a given module is decided at the beginning of the semester. All the courses involve homework and distance learning. EDBA delegates stay in regular contact with their lecturers. The structure of the Program allows for flexibility and for direct application of knowledge and skills, gained during modules, at work. You do not come to us to learn more, you come to overhaul your entire approach to doing business, to revise your fundamental principles regarding economic management, and find out how you can realize your new insights in practice, winning other people to your side.

INE PAN also runs a special cultural program for MBA and EDBA delegates. The participation in the cultural program is not obligatory. It is just great fun! The purpose of the cultural program is two-fold. The program introduces the delegates, especially international ones, to the history and cultural heritage of the Polish people. It also serves as a catalyst for helping participants get to know each other. In practice a typical module looks like that:
