Last week, students from the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration had the opportunity to attend two guest lectures as part of the course "Organizational Management Models for Quality and Organizational Excellence". The lectures were delivered by distinguished experts - Assoc. Prof. Todor Yalamov, Ph.D., and Boris Borchev, Ph.D., who presented the topics "Planning in Conditions of Risk and Uncertainty" and "Models and Tools for Business Management“. These sessions enriched students' theoretical knowledge through practical examples and empirical data.
The first lecture, delivered by Assoc. Prof. Todor Yalamov, Ph.D., provided an in-depth exploration of planning under risk and uncertainty. The speaker emphasized current trends and challenges in the field, fostering critical thinking and constructive discussions among participants. The interdisciplinary approach and interactive format of the session contributed to a deeper understanding of the material.

The second lecture, presented by Boris Borchev, Ph.D., focused on the evolution of dominant paradigms in management. Using specific examples and case studies, the lecturer illustrated the application of key concepts in today's economic and business environment. This lecture not only captured the students’ interest but also offered practical guidance for solving real-world problems.

Student feedback was overwhelmingly positive. They noted that the guest lectures provided fresh perspectives and reinforced their understanding of the topics covered. Furthermore, the practical examples and professional advice shared by the speakers were highly appreciated as valuable and insightful.

Organizing such initiatives highlights the Faculty's commitment to integrating academic theory with the practical aspects of professional life. Events like these are crucial for developing students' competencies and preparing them for the realities of the business world.
