Wharton/INSEAD Center for Global Research & Education
Fostering collaborative relationships across the two schools, the Wharton/INSEAD Center for Global Research & Education allows faculty and doctoral students to expand the boundaries of their work — nurturing world-class research, enhancing the globalization of curricula, and experimenting with global teaching innovations. The collaboration includes student exchanges, use of technology-supported learning, joint dissertation committees, and exchange of faculty.
Publications
The Wharton/INSEAD Alliance's publications stem from joint research collaboration between Wharton and INSEAD faculty and doctoral students.
Faculty and Doctoral Student Exchange
Wharton and INSEAD faculty and doctoral students conduct research and teach across the Alliance's four campuses. Forty faculty and six doctoral students have crossed campuses to collaborate on research, and 23 faculty have taught at the partner schools.
In addition, the Alliance has generated five joint doctoral dissertation committees. Currently, candidates for the PhD are engaged in nine fields of specialization, each student working closely with distinguished faculty members in programs developed to meet individual research interests and professional goals.
Global Teaching Innovations
The Center supports the development of innovative programs and teaching materials involving faculty members from the two schools, enabling initiatives that neither partner could have undertaken on its own.
Featured teaching innovations include:
- Transatlantic group projects including Wharton and INSEAD MBA students for MBA elective "Creating New Products and Services" taught simultaneously at INSEAD (by Professor Christoph Loch) and Wharton (by Professor Christian Terwiesch). Four sessions of this course were delivered jointly by INSEAD and Wharton.
- Wharton/INSEAD MBA simulation, Imperfect Competition Games, in the MBA Microeconomics course. The simulation is run over two weeks across three continents. Most recently, 144 teams from Wharton, 60 teams from INSEAD Fontainebleau and 30 teams from INSEAD Singapore participated.
