PREFACE

‘Competition and performance pressure whether we
like it or not, affect our lives. Important factors such
as the quality of culture, modernization and education
act as a deposit for the future of the economy’s
competitiveness. Against this background the
constant and offensive ability to adapt to change is
aided and facilitated through life-long learning.

It is worth noting that the appraisal systems of business
schools similar to WBS place greater emphasis on
practical knowledge and the students ability to develop
their careers than larger universities where theoretical
and scientific research is the main factor influencing
institution prestige. I am convinced that WBS bears
the Wekerle name with the dignity, pride and respect
Prof. Dr. Árpád Kovács – worthy of its eponym.
Chairman of the Fiscal Council
of Hungary
The institute with its European recognized degrees
and cutting-edge training programmes has proven
that is more than capable of tackling and answering
those educational challenges arising from todays
modern economy.’
