GOOD BUSINESS IS GLOBAL BUSINESS |
|
|
The Executive MBA cohort recently participated in an international residency in Japan. This allowed participants to learn more about Japanese business practices and culture as they met with companies such as Panasonic, Kato USA, Precision Railroad Models, and Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms. As our global economy becomes more interdependent, it is becoming even more important to have a deeper understanding of worldwide business trends and emerging market dynamics. The cohort learned more about cultural intelligence and its importance through meeting business leaders from diverse industries.
The Executive MBA program is ranked No.1 in Georgia by Fortune, and to stay at the top, exposure to international business is crucial to their overall student experience. Support for study abroad programs like this is a top priority for Terry College and would not be possible without the generosity of our alumni and corporate partners. Individuals can contribute to the Terry College Study Abroad Scholarship Fund to increase participation and provide Terry students with unique learning opportunities that offer a life-long impact.
