‘Knowledge is information combined with understanding and capability; it lives in the minds of people ‘[Todd Groff, 2003]
Knowledge is a fluid mix of framed experience, values, contextual information, and expert insight that provides a framework for evaluating and incorporating new experiences and information. It originates and is applied in the minds of knowers.
In organizations, it often becomes embedded not only in documents or repositories but also in organizational routines, processes, practices, and norms.
‘Knowledge derives from mind at work.’ (Working Knowledge, Davenport, 2003)

Many historians consider the time we live in such an era of great social
change - due to the transition from industrial to knowledge-based society.
In other words, what will be most important in the new era
is not the ability for mass production of material goods ,
but the ability to create new types of knowledge
Hence, this is our aim to prepare student s for this new age.
Knowledge-based Society

The main objective of the Innovation Strategy of Bulgaria is to increase
the competitiveness of Bulgarian industry.
And that means building a "knowledge-based" economy,
i.e. introduction of new products, using materials, technologies and
organization of production, management and services
compete on the basis of scientific achievements and developments

4. TRAINING / EDUCATION The purpose of education is to develop flexible and responsive system of student teaching strategies. In such a time of radical re-education through experience is an opportunity that any educational institution can not afford to ignore.
According Boyar, Shulman and many others, contradistinction
Between pure learning and practice,
between the development of capacities for abstract thinking and the acquisition of practical skills
is an anachronism that should soon as possible to be overcome. In the era of the global economy, our society can not afford to cultivated minds, uninterested and indifferent to the specific practical problems.

4. TRAINING / EDUCATION
In the heart of experiential learning a dialogue between theory and practice is a proven approach to education and social organization of the XXI century.
Therefore, the learning process must involve specialists with proven experience set in the real economy and continuing to participate in the process of creation of new knowledge.

A brief overview of the MBE® program
Comprehensive acquisition of skillsOur students take away a combination of practical, methodological, and soft skills from the MBE® program. They begin as specialists and leave as all-round experts who can be deployed in various areas throughout any company. This increases their employability and their promotion prospects – while providing new opportunities for your company’s success.

Specific projects – measurable results Principle of the MBE® is as follows: junior staff (known as ‚Fellows‘)
work in the company while also gaining the career-integrated master degree.
As a partner company, the project competence degree enables the company to implement specific company relevant tasks in a success-oriented matter.
Set up as a project, these tasks can be implemented across any number of different company divisions and departments.
Management consultancy included Throughout the project, both the Fellows and your company receive
professional guidance and support from our professors and lecturers who specialize in science, practical implementation and consultancy.
Your new employees gain the methodological and social skills they require to resolve problems in the accompanying seminar phases. This means that your company benefits from the Steinbeis faculty‘s coaches even once the course has finished.
