STARTED IN RADOVLJICA

 

Our success story begins in 1993. After discovering, that there are unsatisfied needs in Slovenia for managers to have up-to-date globally competitive knowledge and skills, Janez Prašnikar, PhD. and his colleagues designed an MBA programme for current and future top managers. In collaboration with top business schools in a world and leading experts on study fields, the programme was designed in a way to provide the students analytical skills, relevant managerial tools for environment analysis and decision making and trains them to work intensively in multi-cultural and extremely competitive environment.

LIFE IN RADOVLJICA


The first generation of MBA Radovljica (less than 50 kilometres from Ljubljana) students was enrolled in the programme in 1993/1994. Study programme was primarily designed as a campus type of study. Students lived together in a beautiful environment of historical tourist town, Radovljica, surrounded with mountains and all the others natural wonder, that the nature blessed the Gorenjska region of Slovenia with. There were enjoying the comfort of Grajski dvor hotel, where each student had a room with a bathroom and possibility to use fitness room, gym, sauna and swimming pool. The classes were held in special quarts of Intertrade center, easily accessible from the hotel. Yet, the costs of the programme in Radovljica were incomparably higher than fee for the programme today and students mainly gained scholarships to attend the programme from companies. Students were working hard, yet they have had a great time and many still refer to their study experience as one of the most valuable in their life. Also the programme logotype »R« is derived to honour the Programme's beginnings in Radovljica.

 

 

MOVING TO LJUBLJANA

 

Later, the MBA Radovljica programme was moved to the Faculty of Economics, University in Ljubljana (FELU) main quarters in Ljubljana and renamed in IMB (International Full- Time Master Programme in Business Administration). This was done in order to address the needs of changing structure in students' profiles, which attended the programme. In the first generations of students, male students dominated and students have had significant working experience before attending the programme.

 

But the dynamics in the post-transition Slovenian environment offered the following trends on which we adopted:

ALUMNI MBA RADOVLJICA

 

The MBA Radovljica Alumni was initiated by the first generation of students with the aim to instigate and enables keeping in touch with study colleagues and cross-generational contacts. The Alumni association was established in 1996 and since then it regularly organizes events, where members socialize, issues publications, organize professional lectures and offers networking possibilities.
