The International Management Teachers Academy is a major European faculty development program aimed at developing a new generation of management educators for a new generation of effective and responsible business leaders. “
We are glad that Business in Society has been introduced as a new disciplinary track in the year when CEEMAN hosts the 2013 PRME Summit - the 5th Annual Assembly of the global movement for responsible management education that, under the auspices of the United Nations Global Compact, gathers 500 schools from 80 countries worldwide”, says Milenko Gudić, IMTA Managing Director. With this cohort IMTA has educated 476 management faculty from 142 schools and universities in 38 countries from all over the world.. The powerful network facilitates mutual communication and cooperation among IMTA alumni and their institutions, while also serves as a platform through which CEEMAN continues providing support to IMTA alumni in their personal, professional and institutional development.
