Global Immersions

On our last day in London, the weekend case competition in the Consulting track came to a close with final team presentations. In the Globalization Strategy track, the topic on Day Three shifted to global financial markets - the day was highlighted by two speakers: Barclay’s Mike Di Iorio and Dean Doug Shackelford of UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School.

At the London immersion, MBA@UNC students participated in one of two tracks: Globalization Strategy or Consulting. On Day Two, while students on the Consulting track were hard at work on their cases ahead of the Sunday presentations, students in the Globalization Strategy track learned more about global organizations and global marketing. A central thread that ran through each speaker’s presentation on Day Two was the critical need to closely understand local cultures when expanding business across borders.

At the London immersion, MBA@UNC students participated in one of two tracks: Globalization Strategy or Consulting. Through the course of the first day, MBA@UNC students learned all about how to embrace the move from the Information Age to the Agile Age, the finer points of strategic communications in a global setting, and how Virgin has created consistency across a diverse set of businesses.

Students at the 2015 MBA@UNC San Francisco immersion had the option to participate in a data analytics track to explore how Bay Area businesses, large and small, are integrating data analytics with their everyday operations.
