Business Dialogue
As a dynamic space for field-academia dialogue, our School of Management, through its different research institutions and Alumni Association, provides executives and professionals from different fields and sectors with opportunities to network, keep up to date with current advancements in their fields and discuss ongoing issues of concern. Our student & alumni community benefits from a variety of professional conferences and forums, in which they are encouraged to take part.
Coffee @ Recanati This is one of the first flagship programs of our Alumni Association - a series of meetings and lectures by keynote speakers in various fields, many of whom are senior professionals from the business, technological, and political arenas.
Focusing on ongoing issues in business and management, the program topic list represents the dynamic and multi-faceted nature of business at an ever-changing world. Keynote speakers discuss a broad range of strategic challenges – from the dilemmas of modern airline carriers and retail corporations to successfully directing a museum or a modern metropolis.

The Strategic Move The Strategic Move, an annual event held by Recanati's Hurvitz Institute for Strategic Management, brings together Israel's managerial elite to discuss current developments and challenges in corporate strategy. Each conference brings to the fore a specific strategic dilemma or topic of concern, considered from the perspective of two or three Israeli leading corporations.
These corporations' strategic steps and campaigns, presented by their CEOs, serve as case studies for available approaches and solutions to corporate dilemmas and challenges. An expert panel, consisting of scholars, executives and strategy specialists, then puts the dilemmas discussed into perspective, discussing future directions in the local and global macroeconomic environment and pointing out their implications for corporate strategy.
Launching the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange The beginning of the School's academic year is traditionally noted at an event held at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE), attended by Recanati faculty and students. At the heart of the ceremony, Recanati leadership and TASE management jointly open daily commerce at TASE by pressing the ceremonial bell coordinating TASE activities. Recanati Scholars and senior TASE professionals discuss ongoing trends and phenomena in the finance market, presenting their assessments and predictions.
The event frames business education in the context of the commerce and market activities for which it prepares students, signaling the importance of synchronism between both systems to the students' professional growth.
What's Next What's Next, the annual event of the School's Sofaer International MBA Program, is a forum designed for a discussion of future directions of development in today's business world, focusing on a specific business-related field. Speakers and expert panels include scholars, business leaders and professional specialists, representing a diversity of viewpoints and sharing their expertise with an audience professionals from different sectors.
A meaningful space for dialogue between academia & business, What's Next represents the potential of an integrated perspective in predicting and accommodating change in a business world in constant evolution, sharing these insights with the public at large.
The Global Entrepreneurship Week The Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) is annually noted at Recanati as an opportunity to celebrate entrepreneurship and support our students' and alumni's initiatives by providing them with a space to promote their ventures and foster collaborations. The Israeli affiliate of the global MIT Forum, MIT Forum Israel, operating under the auspices of the School, plays a central role in coordinating GEW events in Israel, as part of a dynamic conference calendar aimed at bringing together a community of entrepreneurs.
GEW events at Recanati consist of networking sessions, discussion panels and round tables, venture presentations and talks by scholars and entrepreneurs. GEW is an opportunity to discuss the importance of a positive, supportive ecosystem to venture success and demonstrate our commitment to offering our students and alumni such an environment.
