Dear Colleagues,
The Cracow University of Economics kindly invites teachers and administrative staff to our International Week from the 9th to the 13th of April 2018 in Krakow, Poland. The main topic of our programme is Hybrid Value Chains – business/academic environment/NGOs.
Hybrid Value Chains are becoming a necessity in these days when companies tend to do better with social problems than governmental and non-governmental organizations and academic environment. The event can eventually be the beginning of future joint projects: summer schools, seminars, conferences, discussion panels, research, thematic contacts.
International Week is devoted to two complementary issues.
Follow Adrian Pyszka from University of Economics in Katowice research on the subject - we propose:
"to determine what may be a shared value (economic, educational and social) in the company’s and NGOs relations with its stakeholders"
"to integrate a shared value in the hybrid value chain. We want to show how much innovation the business environment can bring to the world to change the way of thinking and acting - breaking with the standard approach to value creation, especially in a young environment. Companies, by creating innovative solutions bringing shared value, help solve social problems better than the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities while building a competitive advantage in the new premises referring to the idea of common values (business, schools, and NGOs)."
Our programme is tailored for both teaching and administrative staff. Additionally, we invite teachers who are interested in our main topic to prepare the proposal of the course related to the programme.
Participants are expected to cover their own travel and living expenses. Registration fee is 70 Euro.
Confirmation of selection results will be sent to all participants by e-mail after the 28th of February 2018. Information about accommodation and the final programme will be sent only to selected participants. Please do not make travel arrangements before your participation is confirmed.
