MBA-CGM & PGPX –CGM: A Dual Program Despite their in-depth distinct professional knowledge, a lot of successful executives with professional qualifications in different disciplines who have started their management careers or who wish to become managers often lack management knowledge which will enable them to manage people and organizations.

Due to an increasing demand for such education, IIPA and FEB are offering a dual MBA Programme in Corporate Governance and Management. The dual PG Programme for executives in Corporate Governance and Management is offered as one-year full time residential MBA programme and is open to young professionals who have already earned their undergraduate degrees.

It is unique because it is designed and delivered across two countries, India and Slovenia. It also covers two key fields for a successful career in management, i.e., corporate governance and management of organizations.

The programme combines theoretical knowledge in corporate governance and management with practice-oriented applications.

It examines the most up-to-date concepts in all major business areas at the advanced level, i.e., Strategic Management, Business Law, Marketing, Finance, Information Management and others. The participants develop both academic excellence and practical hands-on skills that they will need to succeed in their careers.

Enablers The dual program gives a unique opportunity to learn from international and nationally acclaimed faculty/practitioners across two locations, India and Europe. Both IIPA and FEB have strong links with experts, eminent corporate leaders, policy makers and renowned administrators who will strengthen each course module through sharing of best practices in modern day management and corporate governance.

LIFE IN MARIBOR Maribor, whose origins as a town can be traced back to the 13th century, is today the second largest city (95.171 inhabitants in January 2011) of Slovenia and represents the centre of Slovenian Styria (Štajerska) region.

Maribor lies in the embrace of the green Pohorje Mountains and wine growing hills, at both sides of the river Drava. Pohorje is a skiing centre in winter and a place for hiking, cycling, and recreation all year round.

In the municipality of Maribor there is a large number of protected natural sights: three regional/landscape parks (Drava, Trije ribniki, Mariborsko jezero), a natural reserve (Mariborski otok) and others.

The city’s character has been shaped by its industry, which once performed a significant role in the Slovenian economy.

Apart from that, Maribor offers a rich and varied cultural experience to inhabitants and visitors. In addition to many cultural events, the citizens can enjoy the city’s beautiful and relaxing surroundings as it lies at the foothills of the Pohorje mountains, providing several outdoor activities such as hiking and skiing.

Special events, such as the traditional Golden Fox Trophy, a Women’s Ski World Cup competition, as well as the international multicultural Festival Lent and events around the Old Vine provide a particularly animated atmosphere. Maribor is also known for its excellent wines, as many vineyards surround the city.

Moreover, with its University, Maribor is also a city with a distinguished intellectual potential.

The fact that the town has chosen to call itself “the University city” denotes its awareness of the importance of education and research in its development.

EXPLORING SLOVENIA

Slovenia, the green heart of Europe, lies between the mountainous Austria and Italy, Hungary and the warm Adriatic Sea. It is a nice surprise for many visitors from all over the world. Snowy Alpine peaks and the Triglav National Park with many glacial valleys, gorges, waterfalls, lakes, and crystal-clear wild waters attract visitors looking for peace in the mountains as well as sports climbers, skiers, canoeists, gliders in search for relaxation and excitement in everyday life.

Located in the middle of a lake and a mighty cliff-top castle is the Alpine tourist centre, the Karst region with its caves, plateaus, fields, disappearing streams, and a periodic lake offers many possibilities for exploring and discovering Slovenia. There are many underground caves, from the world famous Postojnska Cave with beautiful stalactites, pillars and rocky curtains and UNESCO's Ĺ kocjan Caves to grottos that are difficult to access, where you can climb only with the help of experienced local guides. In Lipica (Karst) sheltered by century-old lime trees there is an over 400 years old farm of Lipizzaners, the world famous white horses with their origin in Slovenia.
