Faculty members include leading U.S. business school scholars, who are experienced in business. They also include some of the most effective U.S. business leaders and practitioners. Training approaches include lectures, live case studies, sessions with U.S. CEOs, interactive discussions, role play, and real-world, export-related projects.
