“With a communist
economy there is no need for anything like that. Only when the economy started
[transforming] into a market economy did the need appear” said Witold
Orłowski, director of the WUT Business School at the Warsaw
University of Technology, one of the first to appear on the Polish market. The
first years were hard, according to Orłowski: “[At first the courses] were done
with a lot of foreign input, with both foreign professors and foreign program
design” he said.
“… the Warsaw University of Technology collaborates with LondonBusinessSchool, the HECParisGraduateBusinessSchool
and NorwegianSchool of Economics and Business
Administration.”
“ThePolish MBAdoes not have any trademark, there is no
government regulation. Anyone can create a program and call it an MBA” Orłowski
said.
“The lower costs aren’tonly
attracting Polish students. The WUTBusinessSchool’s
Orłowski said that half of the students attending his institution’s MBA courses
this year came from abroad, mainly from Western Europe.
He said that few came for Executive MBA, however.”
“An Executive MBA
means you are traveling every weekend, so it is not surprising that people want
to do this degree close to their place of work” he said. Orłowski also
explained that, in addition to the low price of study, students were drawn to Poland
by its competitive market.”
“We are improving on
the current MBA market, which is already delivering a good quality product, but
it is still not sophisticated in giving the whole menu of choices”
The Warsaw Voice, 10 February 2008; „MBAs in Poland”
„The Master of Business Administration (MBA) has long been an internationally recognized managerial qualification. So much so that it appears to be becoming a victim of its own success. The ever growing number of MBA holders is threatening to devalue the qualification.”
