»This biography of IEDC-Bled is a jointly-told tale based on interviews with key personages, group discussions of key events and institutional inflection points over the twenty-five years, as well as scholarly reports from and media coverage and commentary about the school. It is about leadership, starting with IEDC-Bled President and Dean Danica Purg, who overcame resistance from communist party apparatchiks in founding the new school and from Western accreditation bodies in placing it prominently on the world stage. It is about managing and what it takes to build a world class institution in a region rich in intellect and academic tradition but ravaged by economic hardship and ethnic wars. Finally, it provides a glimpse of modern history—witnessing the transition from socialism to capitalism, from an inward-looking to market-facing economy, and, in the classroom, from dry academic lecturing and exams to interactive case study and project-based learning.« Dr. Phil Mirvis
