Global Immersions

Allison Smith, senior localization quality control specialist at Netflix, taught MBA@UNC students about Netflix’s strategy on creating localized content as the company seeks to capitalize on global markets.   

With students, Professor Anil Shivdasani dissects “one of the most defining financial takeovers in recent history,” the Bank of America acquisition of Merrill Lynch in 2008.

In the first session of the digital media tracks at the MBA@UNC Immersion, students heard from Jed Simmons, entrepreneur-in-residence and professor of the practice at UNC Chapel Hill.

Day two of the Johannesburg global immersion was highlighted by a tour through Soweto, a visit to the Nelson Mandela House, the Soweto Red Cross, and Walter Sisulu Square.

Students visited the Apartheid Museum as part of the first day learning about the complex business environment, political landscape, culture, and history of South Africa, during the Johannesburg immersion.
