At Sawyer Business School, we don’t just talk about global business. We are global business.

With partnerships at universities, think tanks, and professional associations in countries like China, India, and Israel, you’ll learn about global business from the experts who have experienced it first-hand.

Research and Publications

Some faculty members are working with researchers overseas to study global business theories and trends. Assistant Professor of Management and Entrepreneurship Christopher Roussin, for instance, is working on a research project with a team of doctors and educators in Hospital Virtual Valdecilla in Santander, Spain. They’re exploring how doctors and nurses communicate during medical training.

Instructor of Management and Entrepreneurship Jodi Detjen is working with a professor from the Goa Institute of Management to write a book chapter on managing corruption in India.

Teaching

Other faculty members, like Chair and Associate Professor of Accounting Lew Shaw, are teaching at universities abroad. Since 2008, Shaw has been teaching two accounting courses at the University of Haifa’s Graduate School of Business in Israel every summer. He’s also collaborated on research projects and helped share the school’s curriculum.

Jane Zhu’s partnership with Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade (SIFT), is a vital component of her Global Marketing Consulting course in Boston. Her students work virtually with students in China to complete consulting projects for business clients. Communicating via Skype and email, the students cross cultural boundaries and time zones to learn how business practices vary around the world.

Zhu, who is native to China, also works closely with the Development Research Center of Chinese State Council on industry-level initiatives in the Chinese energy and tea markets.
