Who We Are

The Center for Global Business and the Economy, founded in 2004, aims to be the leader in developing and disseminating curriculum materials, research, and conceptual frameworks on global issues.

We encourage partnerships between the School and global managers and support rigorous and relevant research, teaching, and course development resources. The Global Center provides a focus for investigating the inherent complexity of international business: running operations across dispersed geographies, in a variety of cultures simultaneously, and under different legal, economic and political institutions.

The Global Management Program, the student-facing arm of the Global Center, has supported the development of MBA students' global mindset since 1994. The GMP provides academic and experiential learning opportunities to help prepare students to manage effectively in the global environment.
