Tap into future management thinking
The Distinguished Professorial Address Series 2008/9
Following on from the success of the Distinguished Executive Address Series, which brings those heading up major organisations to the business community in the South West, Bristol Business School is delighted to introduce the Distinguished Professorial Address Series.
This series presents a unique opportunity for students, alumni, academics and businesses in the South West region to hear about the latest cutting-edge research from renowned leaders in management research.
These events will offer a forum for regional businesses and researchers to address some of the challenges they face and update their knowledge and understanding of recent management developments. The events are held in the intimate setting of the Street Café which seats up to 100 guests. Following each lecture there is an opportunity to put forward your own burning issues and questions to the Professors.
