Beijing & Shanghai, China

MGIB 850 CE - Spring 2009 Semester
Travel: May, 2009

The rapid growth of China and its integration into the global economy continues to be the most important story in global business.  The swift and massive transformation has created enormous opportunities and challenges to those who want to do business in China and to those who must now compete with Chinese companies.  The strong development is also reorganizing Chinese society in unprecedented ways.   By joining Professor Giana Exckhardt for this ten day experience in China you will engage in a series of interactive visits with Chinese and interational business leaders will provide direct experience and a unique exposure to China.  Combined with cultural immersion experiences, you will have an enriching, life changing experience.
