Significant changes since 1997
|
|
|
|
The school has gone from "traditional" four hour classes taught by one professor to two semesters with a thematic approach taught by a number of professors. The themes are "The Manager as a Facilitator," "The Information Manager," "The Manager as a Strategist," and "The Global Manager".
|
|
Special trips or projects outside of country
|
|
|
|
|
|
A trip to another country is taken as an extension of the Global Manager Theme. Participants are exposed to business persons, government officials, and academics. The goal of the trip is to expose the group to the different cultures in which global business is conducted.
