Bata Academy

The Bata Academy is an educational course, which is divided into five seminars. Each seminar represents one of the main parts of Bata’s Management System. In addition to the historical legacy of Bata, we will also introduce you to how to apply these principles not only in work, but especially with your personal life. The lecturers of the academy are Gabriela Koncitikova and Pavel Velev. We are opening the academy in Zlin, Prague and Bratislava…
