CEU Business School Recognized for MBA Pedagogical Innovation ...

For three consecutive years Central European University (CEU) Business School in Budapest, Hungary has received international recognition for innovative faculty teaching and curriculum development.

?The awards ? one for course design and two for case writing ? underscore the strides CEU Business School is making to continually improve its MBA curriculum and advance management education overall,? says Mel Horwitch, dean of CEU Business School.

?For a school of any size, but particularly for a relatively small one like ours, receiving three awards in as many years is a significant achievement,? he explains. ?It is evidence of how we?re consistently creating knowledge and developing new instructional methods that benefit not only our MBA students, but the entire field of business learning.?

One of the case-writing awards was from the Academy of Management, the world?s main association of management scholars, for ?Bulldogs under the Carpet,? authored by Maciej Kisilowski, assistant professor of law and public management at CEU Business School. The case, which uses multimedia to describe the political struggle between Poland?s largest daily newspaper publisher and the country?s prime minister, received AOM?s Most Promising Case award in August 2012.

Another case-writing award went to Zoltan Buzady, an assistant professor of management and organization and MBA director. Dr. Buzady?s ?Teaching Farmers to Hunt ? Developing Commercial Skills at BDO Hungary? addresses a human-resources dilemma faced by an international audit and tax consulting partnership. It won first prize in the CEEMAN case-writing competition in 2011. CEEMAN is an international management development association.

Setting off the year-over-year award trend was Tibor V?r?s, senior lecturer of IT management and quantitative studies, who won CEEMAN?s 2010 Champion Award in the category of Innovation in Course Design. The winning course is the Boardroom Executive Exercise, a signature feature of CEU Business School?s full-time and executive MBA programs.

The Boardroom Executive Exercise simulates a real-world business scenario by placing students on the board of a virtual energy corporation located in Hungary. They are confronted with issues ranging from everyday operational problems to long-term strategic goals.

Leading the way in management education is part of CEU Business School?s pioneering legacy.

CEU Business School was founded nearly 25 years ago when the free market was just starting to take root in Central-Eastern Europe. It was the lone institution in the region to offer American MBA degrees. The school played a critical role in educating the managers who went on to remake post-Soviet Central and Eastern Europe. The school is now taking the lessons it has learned to other emerging regions.

Dean Horwitch points out that the fact that the award-winning cases and simulation focus on Central-Eastern European companies and situations shows how, ?CEU Business School is innovatively teaching a new generation of business leaders and entrepreneurs who aspire to shape emerging economies around the world.??
