The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at Universitas PGRI Madiun (UNIPMA) continues to demonstrate its commitment to preparing graduates who are both competent and adaptive to the dynamics of the global workforce.

Eiman, Head of the Administrative and Finance Service, and Dr. Ria T. Monsale, Coordinator of the Hospitality Management Program. The session was moderated by Heidy Paramitha Devi, S.Pd., M.Si., CSRS., and attended by lecturers from the three FEB study programs: Management, Accounting, and the D3 Taxation program.

In their presentations, the ISATU speakers shared concrete strategies for managing performance effectively within both institutional and business settings. These included data-driven managerial approaches, dynamic team communication, and the application of adaptive and transformative leadership values.

This activity forms an essential part of the faculty’s efforts to realize quality education, in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in ensuring inclusive and equitable education.

With a spirit of collaboration, this Guest Lecture is expected to inspire new perspectives in the learning process and empower students to emerge as professional, strategic individuals ready to compete on the international stage.
