Professor Golijanin, the president of Oivivio LLC, the organizer of the MBAfair™ show is proud that “the seeds that we have planted together in May 2006 at the first MBAfair™ 2006 have been blossoming into some really beautiful flowers. The MBA is not being confused with NBA any more in Serbia, many schools have attracted some nice enrollments, some even two cohorts per year, the new MBA players have entered the Serbian market, and what is the most exciting, the companies have started to send their employees to the MBA programs, and paying for their tuition. Finally!”
Several business schools presented their programs to selected interested students.
Typical fair activity: questions, questions, questions.
