Sixty students from St. Petersburg State University of Economics and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, studying in fields such as "Production Management," "Business Management," "Business Analytics," "Economics," and "Marketing," have been selected to participate through a competitive process.
Student teams will work on assignments based on real cases from manufacturing enterprises in the Leningrad Region. They will develop solutions for all stages of project management and then prepare final presentations.
Serving as mentors for these student teams will be graduates from the Presidential Program for Management Personnel Development from the Leningrad Region and St. Petersburg—executives from both public and private companies.
The event will consist of two parts. In the first part, each team will meet their mentor, receive information about the enterprise and the specific problem to be addressed, and then prepare a roadmap for project implementation.
In the second part, following a short break, projects will be presented. An entrepreneurial jury will evaluate the relevance and quality of the presentations, and a counting commission will summarize and announce the results.
Teams that secure the top three positions will be awarded diplomas and commemorative gifts.
The hosts of the event are Lyubov Koryakova, a business consultant and head of the agency "SMART D-vision," and Vitaly Stelmasyonok, Ph.D. in Economics, Associate Professor at the Department of Management and Innovation at St. Petersburg State University of Economics, head of the Presidential Program and the MBA program "Sustainable Business Development" at the Higher Economic School of St. Petersburg State University of Economics.
The event will commence on September 12 at 14:30.
