International School for Social and Business Studies

The International School for Social and Business Studies is an independent higher education institution that implements two study programs at the first cycle, namely the BA program Business in Contemporary Society and the BSc program Economics in Contemporary Society. At the second cycle, it implements two MA study programs, namely Knowledge Management and Leadership and Quality in Education. In the third level, it implements the doctoral program Knowledge Management. The group of experts is of the opinion that the higher education institution meets all quality standards. In the report, the group of experts pointed out some of the advantages of the higher education institution and also pointed out the opportunities for improvement. The institute demonstrates an appropriate formal organization and a functional human resources management system, as well as a stable personnel structure for the implementation of its teaching and research activities. The developmental strategy is of good quality and is based on information that is effectively transmitted, especially between internal stakeholders and the closest stakeholders from the regional environment. However, it is necessary to systematically establish stronger connections and a system of motivating external stakeholders. The focus of scientific research is clearly set and represents an appropriate and relevant contribution in the national and to some extent also in the international environment. The institution has a well-developed culture of quality assurance and a developed system of planning and support for career development of employees, but it would be necessary for greater efficiency of this system to further profile the research work of the institution and base on this the system of academic and administrative staff development. The institution should take a more active approach to the policy of prevention of discrimination against various groups, including the establishment of an appropriate formal framework.
