Successful firms need leaders who think globally, move comfortably in multiple cultures, and have the knowledge and understanding to succeed in global markets. The unique blend of educational and residential experiences and networking opportunities in the GlobalMBA program equips students with these competencies.

As an expatriate manager, I know the roles that global business knowledge and sensitivity to cultural differences play in successful international businesses. The GlobalMBA program is designed to provide both.

The combination of having a living-and-learning experience in multiple countries; taking an integrated curriculum from culturally diverse faculties; and completing courses with multinational faculty and students delivers a powerful and exciting balance of global business theory and practice. GlobalMBA alumni will be very attractive candidates for positions in multinational firms.

Despite all the talk regarding a "global economy," the successful marketer cannot ignore the very real level of cultural diversity within the international markets. The European Union may well be developing common monetary and regulatory policies, but the fact remains that the various customers within various countries have a quite different cultural basis from which they make business decisions. A thorough understanding of these cultural and sociopolitical perspectives is not just helpful, but is critical in order to be able to develop successful business strategies.
