My opinion is that a modern entrepreneur of 21 century must know how to communicate successfully, plan strategically, think globally and above all – run his company efficiently.

This program has helped me raise the level of self-awareness and self-confidence, both as an entrepreneur and as a person. I have attained a great deal of new knowledge, met new friends, learned that it is crucial to set concrete business goal and that achievement of those goals is measurable. I am very satisfied with the abundance of eminent local and foreign experts who teach at the program and the ability of professor Singer and her team to translate recent happenings and knowledge into lectures. Courses at this program are quite demanding, the emphasis is on team work and appreciation of opinion of other people. This program teaches us to think in a completely different way. To be honest, I have had my doubts in the beginning on how could the knowledge from this program be used in everyday business of a small family company like mine, but I must admit that I have changed my approach to business thanking to this program. I have chosen this program because it is somewhat "rebellious" and it doesn't pursue conventional educational approaches. Here the professors are not kept on a high pedestal; the students are in the first place.
