Rather than focusing on theory alone, the program heavily emphasizes chances to engage with international business practitioners in a meaningful way through site visits, as well as field studies and risk assessments on behalf of companies looking to enter new markets.
The latest cohort visited Kordsa, a Turkish-owned company with a factory in Chattanooga, Tenn., and gained behind-the-scenes looks at both the Port of Savannah and a 1 million-square-foot distribution center for Carter’s, the Atlanta-based children’s clothing giant.
Other intangibles included in the program include mentorship from an alum, membership in the World Affairs Council of Atlanta and access to the Center for International Business Education and Research.
