The vision should be followed by deeds. It is not enough to stand and look at the stairs - they are to go up.
The most valuable capital of a territorial community is the community itself that builds social capital, which is an integrated indicator of the result of the collective activities of individuals and groups who obtain higher socio-economic results due to the synergistic effect of the jointly concerted actions.
I teach at the IIB business school because I like to share my expertise with those people who are motivated to learn, so I’m eager to transfer my acquired knowledge to those who need it and who will apply it for future progress and positive changes in Ukraine.
