St.Petersburg School of Economics and Management

Bank Management in Practice: Guest Lecture by Alexander Vyalkov for International Bachelor’s Students

On April 18, students of the International Bachelor’s Programme in Business and Economics at HSE University – St. Petersburg had the opportunity to attend a guest lecture by Alexander Vyalkov, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board at Bank Saint Petersburg. The event was held as part of the Finance Theory course and focused on contemporary approaches to bank management.

Bank Management in Practice: Guest Lecture by Alexander Vyalkov for International Bachelor’s Students

In his lecture, Mr. Vyalkov offered a comprehensive overview of how a major commercial bank is structured and managed. He discussed the decision-making process within the bank, the roles and responsibilities of key governance bodies, and the contribution of regional branches to the bank’s overall financial performance.

Particularly noteworthy was the business process matrix used at Bank Saint Petersburg — a tool designed to enhance operational flexibility and responsiveness. This matrix enables the bank to adapt effectively to both internal changes, such as launching new products or restructuring its branch network, and to external challenges.

The lecture sparked strong interest among students, who actively engaged with the speaker during the Q&A session and continued the conversation informally after the event.

We sincerely thank Alexander Vyalkov for his insightful and practice-oriented lecture, and for his willingness to share professional expertise with the next generation of economists and managers. We look forward to welcoming representatives of Bank Saint Petersburg at future events of the programme!
