Executive MBA
Houston EMBA - International Seminar
The Executive MBA curriculum prepares students for the international business seminar by focusing on the strategic and operational issues of doing business abroad. The international business seminar provides students firsthand knowledge of global business culture and practice, and offers face-to-face interaction with international business leaders. Students learn the specific challenges these companies face and the strategies employed to meet these challenges. In advance of the seminar, EMBA students work with managers of a selected company, and teams will prepare and present solutions to some of those challenges.
The objectives of the seminar are:
- to understand global strategic imperatives for the 21st century and beyond,
- to open a discussion of the economic, technological, and political environments which influence global business initiatives,
- to provide information about global business opportunities specific to the host country,
- to better understand the challenges faced by business in the host country, and
- to learn about the strategies used to meet challenges directly from those managers.
The cost of the seminar, including airfare, lodging, and some meals, is included in the Executive MBA program cost. Past seminars have taken students to Brussels, Budapest, Mexico City, and Paris. Future destinations may include Asia, Europe, or Latin America.
