Hasta la victoria siempre

Dear Visitors,

Welcome to the website of the Department of Business Administration at the University of Patras, in the spirit of "Hasta la victoria siempre" – until victory, always.

Business Administration is not merely an academic discipline. It is a philosophy of life that unites vision with action, ethics with efficiency, marketing with authenticity, and leadership with responsibility.

Vision that Leads

Every successful enterprise begins with a vision. In our Department, we nurture our students’ ability to see beyond today, to envision tomorrow, and to design strategies that transform ideas into reality.

Ethics as the Foundation

True professional success is measured not only in profit, but in the ethical dimension of our decisions. We teach that sustainable entrepreneurship is built on principles of integrity, transparency, and social responsibility.

Marketing with Meaning

Modern marketing is not simply about promoting products. It is the art of building genuine relationships, understanding real needs, and delivering value that inspires and transforms.

Leadership that Inspires

True leadership is not imposed – it inspires. We prepare our students to become leaders who motivate, who create collective visions, and who lead by example.

Since its founding in 1999, our Department has remained faithful to the principle that education must challenge, inspire, and transform. Every student who passes through our classrooms leaves not only with knowledge, but with a mindset that enables them to face any challenge with determination and vision.

On this website, you will discover how we turn theory into action, ideas into enterprises, and dreams into reality.

Hasta la victoria siempre – because in business administration, as in life, victory belongs to those who never stop striving, innovating, and envisioning.

Welcome to the journey of excellence!

Sincerely,
Georgios S. Androulakis
Chair, Department of Business Administration
University of Patras
