Bratislava Leaders Magazine: I Believe in Natural not Artificial Rules

Besides rules of etiquette, which I regard to as utterly natural, I do not give preference to women in terms of professional life. In my conception, people are simply good and better, beautiful and more beautiful, successful and more successful… I just do not divide people into men and women," wrote Martin Krekáč, co-founder and chairman of AJG-Amrop Jenwein Group and president of The Business Alliance of Slovakia and member of the Jury of Woman of the Year 2006 Awards, for Bratislava Leaders Magazine.

The Slovak Spectator: When youth is not enough
Knowing when you need help is the key
Young people are noted for their enthusiasm, but in the past this quality was often not enough to land them a job if it was not allied with work experience...

external advisors who are expected to provide optimal
solutions. To touch upon some of the characteristics and
current trends in the area of Business Advisory, Amcham Connection talked
to Radomír Mako, Managing Partner of the consulting group
AJG-Amrop Jenewein Group.
