We look forward to hosting more of these lectures and wish every student success in their endeavors.”
The lecture focused on building sustainable business models, as well as the challenges and opportunities that would face businesses, giving example of ALARGAN’s ability to adapt to changes and to lead innovation. Specialists also gave insights on project management, organizational structure, time scheduling and cost estimation.
