Problems to be solved (justification of the need of the transnational cooperation): The notion of management has been evolving throughout recent years from an authoritarian administration to performance monitoring and motivation. Yet recently a new urge has been noticed on the job market. Corporations and companies as well as SME need people who are not managers in this old-fashioned meaning but those who will not only administer , organise, control and motivate, but also encourage employees to willingly follow them and their vision.
That is why there is an urge for a new curriculum at the universities to fulfil this need.
Objectives to be achieved: Creative Leadership is a program for those interested in ideas and tools addressing high levels of complexity and challenge. It prepares recently-graduated BA students and working professionals for positions of responsibility in areas such as business, government, media, international and non-governmental organisations, as well as cross-sector partnerships.
Main transnational activities (as provisionally planned, to be confirmed with partners): The programme embraces not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical part which should be realized in the form of work experience and study visits in the selected enterprises and corporations in partner countries willing to accept interns for a period of one or two weeks, to visit various departments of managerial level in order to analyse, discuss and suggest some solutions or changes.
