Making magic in Prague

Making magic in Prague

Open Business talked to OU MBA graduate Iztok Toplak about the alumni networking group he has established in Prague.

"The real magic comes from people meeting face-to-face," says Iztok Toplak when discussing the networking group he set up for alumni based in the Czech Republic. The group was formed in 2007 with the aim of, as Iztok explains, "maintaining contact between people of the same opinion". The idea came to him and a friend during a workshop in July on 'Applied Creativity in Business' at Adastra (an international specialist in data warehousing, data integration, and data analytics) in Prague.

Many of the quantitative data used to rank full-time MBA programmes are of little use when it comes to distance learning. Salary data, for example, are less important because many students do not use the distance-learning MBA as a career break—many will continue in their pre-MBA employment. Equally, networking does not play such a prominent role.

Czech mate

Czech student Vaclav Dolecek graduated earlier this year with his MBA, which he studied at the same time as learning the English language! Open Eye magazine talked to him

SUCCESSFULLY completing an OU MBA is difficult enough – doing so while learning the English language is an achievement on another scale.

But that’s exactly what Czech student Vaclav Dolecek has accomplished. And he still believes that, despite learning about finance, marketing and strategy in a foreign tongue, his English still isn’t quite good enough!
