Global Business Program
Companies want graduates who have experience, not just
theoretical knowledge. The Global Business 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 Airborne Express, AT&T Wireless,
Farmers Life Insurance, Microsoft, PACCAR, Starbucks, and The Boeing
Company.
The Global Business 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.
Students will benefit from the course in at least the following
ways:
-
Application of theory and principles learned in the
classroom
-
Contact with local business executives
-
Intimate knowledge of international business issues
-
Expanded horizons in understanding other cultures and ways
of doing business
-
Professional development career advancement
