EBS is hosting an industry leader!

a
This week, we have the pleasure of hosting Prof. Edita Gimžauskienė, Professor of Accounting, Vice Rector for Strategic Partnerships at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) and President of BMDA (Baltic Management Development Association). Her visit to EBS is through the Erasmus+ programme ad she is giving two seminars during the stay. 

After her first session Edita said, “Young entrepreneurs and startups are important actors in the innovations ecosystem. This morning I had an inspiring four academic hours with EBS students of “Entrepreneurship in the Digital Era” programme. Students were really smart! I was surprised that their ideas are really mature taking into account that it is just second-year bachelor.  My task was to elaborate on the topic ‘Financial aspects for expansion strategies’.  I decided to start from the big picture of the business models going deeper into different growth strategies, cost structures and pricing models.

 

She is also giving a Managerial Accounting class on the topic of ‘Performance Measurement’ for our International Business Administration students.

 

She has been given a warm welcome by Aet Toots, Head of our intBBA programme, and Anto Liivat, Head of Bachelor’s Studies.
