The Central and East European Management Development Association (Ceeman), a global management development group, has 99 business school members in central and eastern European (CEE) countries. That is up from 13 members — CEE schools and companies — when the association was established in 1993.
The number of the region’s schools that are accredited by the AMBA, AACSB and EFMD’s Equis awarding bodies has increased by 150 per cent over the past decade, from 14 to 35. Six are included in the FT’s European Business School Ranking 2018, up from two in 2008.
