Global Business
EDGE Program
The Global Business EDGE (Education
for Global Executives) program is
designed to integrate the various
business and non-business courses by
applying theory to real business
problems. Students will apply the
principles, concepts, and skills
learned in their academic studies to
decisions faced by international
business managers in real-time and
in actual business settings.
Companies want graduates who have
experience, not just theoretical
knowledge. The EDGE program helps
students understand the growing
impact of international competition
and how to operate in the global
marketplace.
This program connects graduate
students with Northwest companies
doing international business. Local
companies give teams of MBA and MIB
students complex project
assignments. Comprised of two to
three students, these teams spend
the ten-week quarter preparing a
research and analytical report to
client firms summarizing their
results. Companies now working with
the Global Business program include
Costco, Microsoft, PACCAR,
Starbucks, Weyerhaeuser, The Boeing
Company, and many others.
Students benefit from the course in
at least the following ways:
-
Learning how to apply theory and
principles learned in the
classroom

executives
