Significant changes since 1997
|
|
|
|
There has been a dramatic increase in discussion about how the role of technology generally, and the Internet specifically, affects how business is carried out. Wharton is offering an elective on E-Commerce and Marketing, and many other courses to describe and discuss the impact of technology on business structure and competition.
|
|
Special trips or projects outside of country
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wharton runs a one-week overseas seminar during the second year of the program. There is also an on-site discussion with executives who determine strategy for U.S. firms overseas, non-U.S. firms not native to the country visited, and local companies. The seminar augments the international strategy course which is designed to study why companies locate abroad and how they pursue strategy outside the base country.
