[Planning Research Cafés 2009-2010]

Nothing as Practical as a good Theory

Upcoming Session: 16 March 2010, 7-9 pm, Campus Ghent: Generation Y: How to engage the next generation?

Final year students will be busy burning the midnight oil with that much-coveted degree in sight. But what happens after that? They throw themselves onto the job market in good spirits and full of expectation. What are their career plans? And has the crisis affected their expectations? What does this mean for you as an employer? How will you deal with the challenge that these talents confront you with? Read more here.

Get a taste of the Vlerick Research Café. The topic of the first café was "Unleashing the potential of the sales force"

Why research cafés?

In today’s competitive business environment, innovation is the key way to help businesses keep their competitive advantage.

Vlerick’s backbone combines the academic and intellectual rigour in research with a strong focus on business usability in industry, supplying industries with knowledge to shape their future!  The research fundaments and output from Vlerick serve as the key input for designing and developing the programmes that will ‘shape tomorrow’s leaders.’

The research cafés give you the opportunity to learn more about Vlerick’s latest research insights  and help you translate this into more practical  applications for your business.

Who is this for?

The research café  is a meeting place for people with various backgrounds, allowing discussions on very interesting topics  from a different viewpoint. We welcome all interested managers and entrepreneurs who want to support their great business ideas with our research.

What is our approach?

The research café is  an interactive evening session focused on presenting research results and linking the research fundamentally to either a business case or a practical experience within a company. All cafés will be held by Vlerick faculty members.

The research café combines applied management research with real-life business cases. The informal drink afterwards allows networking with other participants and our faculty and staff members.
