Going the
Distance: MBA
for Executives
Students Visit
India
More than 80 second-year
Wharton School MBA for
Executives students from
Wharton West, the School's
San Francisco campus, traveled
to India in September
to meet with key government
and business leaders
as part of an ongoing effort
to learn more about the
country's growing influence
in the international marketplace.
The students represented
both the Wharton School
and the various companies
for which they work. The
international trip, part of
the Wharton curriculum,
provides both students and
international industry and
government leaders the opportunity
to learn from one
another about forward-looking
business trends in the
region. It also is an excellent
opportunity for relationship-
building between the
regions.
"For years, the Wharton
School MBA Program for
Executives, which has campuses
in both Philadelphia
and San Francisco, has
made international trips a
tradition," said Anjani Jain,
vice dean and director of the
Wharton School Graduate
Division. "India's rapid ascent
in the global economy
and its established market
and regulatory institutions
make it a logical and important
choice for increased
exposure to future business
leaders."
"This is the first time
such a large contingent of
students and faculty from
any leading business school
will visit India in an effort
to better understand how
regional companies plan and
execute business locally and
abroad," said Govind Iyer,
a member of the Wharton
Alumni Club of India.
"Wharton's already strong
presence in the region is
growing via ongoing student
visits, faculty research, and
an active alumni network."
