INCHE announces the March 2022 webinar offering from the Society of Christian Scholars on “The Mission of Teaching Business.”
Within the next three decades, the global population will be about 10 billion people, most of whom are in the Majority World. This growth will put tremendous pressure on current socio-economic systems, with possible negative effects on the environment, unemployment, education, healthcare, immigration, and even armed conflict.
Business teaching is possibly one of the greatest contributions the Christian community can offer to such a distressed world. We have a Biblical tradition in business and public administration dating back to Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, and Esther, who were used by God to solve their generation’s difficulties. Now we need to educate 21st century business leaders with these same values and principles!
On Thursday, 17 March 2022 at 1400 UTC, Dr Sebastian Văduva, Director of the Griffiths School of Management and IT at Emanuel University of Oradea in Romania, will outline these business principles and values, framing business as mission. Dr. Văduva is a Romanian-American entrepreneur with extensive international experience in both U.S. and Romanian companies. Having immigrated to the US at age 12, he started his first business at 17. After completing his undergraduate studies in marketing, he obtained his MBA from Case Western Reserve University. In 1999 he became one of the youngest International Business and Marketing instructors at the University of Akron and in 2001, their director of The Center for Organizational Development. Also, he co-directed a sizable US State Department grant under which he pursued a doctoral degree at the Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest in comparative entrepreneurial systems and mentalities.
In 2004 Dr. Văduva was recruited by the Fulbright commission as an international MBA program director; and in 2005 he became the Dean of the Griffiths School of Management where he continues to serve. Sebastian has delivered over 6.000 hours of corporate executive education in the areas of leadership, entrepreneurship, communication, marketing, and team management. Over the last three years, his work has been predominantly in the Romanian IT sector where he focuses on talent development.
