MGIB 850 DE - Spring 2009 Semester
Travel: May 2009
 
Experience business in Germany, Europe’s largest economy, by touring three of the world’s capitals of commerce: Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin, with Business School Associate Professor and German native Michael Behnam. As the world’s largest exporter of goods, Germany is home to a constellation of globally known and technologically advanced multinational corporations.

By visiting with executives from these leading companies – proposed visits include BMW and Lufthansa – students will experience German management culture and gain insight into business practiced on a global scale. At company visits students will discuss case studies, developed by Professor Behnam in partnership with the host executives, allowing for an intense, interactive learning experience. Lectures by German professors and cultural excursions will round out the itinerary.

Important Note: Those taking this class will not be able to officially graduate in May, 2009. If students have fulfilled all other graduation requirements, they may be able to "walk" in the May 2009 commencement ceremony, but will not receive an official degree until September, 2009. This is due to the fact that grades will not be recorded until June 2009, well after the normal spring semester has ended. Until grades are reported, students will have an NG (No Grade) on their transcript. Please contact the Registrar’s Office for more information about overall graduation requirements.
