The dynamics of globalization have altered our environment and the fundamental requirements of a complete business education. As technological advances and international trade continue to shrink the world in which we live, cross-cultural experience and understanding becomes not an advantage toward success, but a prerequisite. The Center for Experiential Learning at the university's Olin School of Business is committed to ensuring that students are integrally involved in the globalization process by considering different cultures, practices, and dilemmas faced within the realm of international business.
As a top tier business school, Olin seeks to prepare the future generation of business leaders who will require a thorough knowledge and understanding of international issues in order to be successful in an increasingly complex and competitive playing field. Such preparation will be crucial for any company's sustained success in the future. Today's managers face a variety of issues in a rapidly changing environment. Such issues can range from currency exchange in Latin America, to supply chain management in China, to brand management in India. The CEL seeks to address these issues and help prepare students to make an immediate impact and contribution through their careers. Through class work, special programs, internships, practicums, and conferences, our world-renowned faculty and strategic business partners prepare the international business leaders of tomorrow.
Other schools and departments at the university include sources on international law, east asia, latin america, the middle east, judaism and islam, and international studies.

The Financial Express (Bangladesh) Aug. 5, 2005 -- It was almost unimaginable 25 years ago that China, the nemesis of the capitalist world, would embrace American-style management education. But today it is doing so with a gusto that puts the western world to shame. While US business schools are reporting falling applications for their MBA programs, partly as a result of competition from overseas and a tight labor market, students in China are beating at the doors of the top courses. Fudan runs programs with the WUSTL Olin School, the Norwegian School of Management and Hong Kong University. |
