Description:
This is a 10 day executive MBA study in Hungary. The primary
objective is to expose MBA students to a foreign country and international
companies at a range of levels. The first three days of the visit focus on
cultural, historical, institutional and political lectures to provide the
students with an understanding of the local country. Lecturers include the
former Foreign Minister, former Ambassador to the US, former Central Bank Chair,
current Head of the Foreign Affairs Committee in Parliament, US Embassy
Commercial Services, and various lecturers from the Corvinus University.
The second part of the visit consists of company visits to a range of companies
located in Hungary (see below for complete list). At each company,
students visit the facilities and receive high level executive presentations of
the company with extensive discussion with company executives. The last
day of the visit is an all-day networking event at a private estate in Zebegeny
with QU MBA students, QU HABL Scholars in the region, and
corporate executives from the region. The top executives from each company
visited are invited as do executives from other regional companies. The
networking day also serves as the annual meeting location for the
Executive Board of Mentors for the
QU HABL program.
