Global Consciousness is a Requirement
Global consciousness is a requirement of a 21st century leader. The Stanford Graduate School of Business is educating the world’s future business leaders about both the challenges and opportunities of a global economy.
Preparation to be a global leader requires a deep understanding of international business through firsthand experiences - experiences that are eye-opening and transformative.
These international experiences, in addition to global business courses, help students develop respect for diverse cultures, understanding for the complexities of managing effectively in a global environment and awareness of the impact of businesses on communities.
Rigorous and relevant research on global business and the world economy infuses the curriculum with current thinking on international business practices and provides conceptual frameworks on global issues.
