International Management Teachers Academy (IMTA): Developing a new generation of management educators for a new generation of business leaders

CEEMAN’s IMTA (International Management Teachers Academy) program provides a unique opportunity for young faculty to improve their teaching skills, methods, and materials, and includes teaching using cases, case writing, course design, curricula development, and performance evaluation and feedback to students. The program is also designed to improve competences and skills integral to specific managerial disciplines (Finance, Leadership and Change Management, Marketing, Strategy and, for the first time in 2012, Business & Society), and provides input essential in other areas of a faculty member’s professional life, such as consulting, institution development and administration, and social responsibility. 10-22 June 2012, Bled, Slovenia

The exchange of ideas and experience with colleagues from other countries is also an invaluable source of learning, and an effective instrument in establishing professional contacts and networks, additionally enhanced via the IMTA Alumni Association.

According to post-program feedback received by IMTA participants and their institutions, the effects of the program go far beyond individual professional career development. Its benefits also include an impact on the participants’ institutions and their respective stakeholders.

The most frequently stated program results are:

  • improved educational skills
  • development of new teaching materials
  • new research project and doctoral thesis leads
  • student (customer) satisfaction
  • international case competition awards to IMTA alumni
  • greater international cooperation, faculty networking, and exchange
