• Students’ understanding of the subject will evolve through online interactions with management executives, virtual company tours, and executive reports at major domestic and global innovative corporations and their innovation centers in the China region.
• We will focus on the dynamic state of the Chinese economy, and the forces driving the innovation and growth strategies in firms operating in China. Students will observe and discuss the influences of Chinese social and cultural factors on business practices and decisions throughout the company visits and crash consulting projects.
• In preparation meetings, students will have the option to meet in-person to form close groups through local cultural activities and team case analysis (often directly related to the companies that we will visit). In two virtual cultural events, students will learn Tai Chi practice from a local master and making dumplings from a Chinese chef located in a courtyard house of Beijing.

Seminar Snapshot

• This course is primarily an opportunity to learn about business opportunities and challenges in the European Union, which Spain joined in 1986; unlike the UK, support for the EU remains strong in Spain, including support for the Euro and for the Schengen borderless zone.
• Spain is also a bridge between the EU and the Americas through the some 440 million people whose primary language is Spanish
• It’s a good example, at the same time, of the strains caused by global forces, as it struggles with making its economy greener and technology-based, and keeping its society united around a common set of values.
• Suffolk has had a presence in Madrid for more than 20 years!
