Dr George Burt (Management) will be joining colleagues from IESE and EADA as a confirmed speaker at the Association of MBA's (AMBA) MBA Refresher event in Barcelona on Thursday, May 17.
Dr Burt's research is on the organisation-environment relationship, taking an action research approach using in-depth, longitudinal case studies, and his talk will be, "Environmental scanning, scenario planning and the process of organisational change".
The MBA refresher courses are aimed at supporting MBA graduates' continuous professional development and lifelong learning. The Association of MBAs has successfully run MBA refresher courses in partnership with business schools across the UK to international audiences of alumni but the Barcelona event is the organisation's inaugural event outside of the UK and hopefully will be of interest to our alumni in and around Barcelona.
Other confirmed speakers are Professor Albert Fernandez, Associate Professor of Accounting and Control at IESE, whose talk is entitled "Initiatives in Entrepreneurship: Lessons Learnt," and Professor Franc Ponti, Director of EADA's Center of Innovation, who will be talking on "Change it if it works: 7 innovation strategies for liquid times".
The event will be hosted in Barcelona at IESE Business School, Barcelona Campus, Avenida Pearson 21 on Thursday, May 17.
