Relevant from the get-go: the new Vienna Center for Management Innovation (VCMI) has just opened in Vienna’s 9th district. Here, leading management thinkers from all over the world will be able to tackle current management challenges in their research projects (so called Topic Leadership Circles) in order to turn their learnings into applicable business practices.
The ambitious goal of the institute is to help solve the massive challenges of today’s world in collaboration. To achieve this, the institute conducts a community-based management. It enjoys the support of a large number of international professionals and thinkers that have already embarked to collaborate on this task.
