To provide a broad perspective on global management, an annual Distinguished Guest Speaker Series is sponsored, featuring presentations by top corporate executives, strategic planners, and foreign dignitaries. Focused entirely on the global market, the year-long series enables students to gain insight into specific management problems. Presentation topics range from examination of industry trends to the political consequences of business decisions. Alumni Career Seminars Alumni of the DMSB's international programs provide a unique perspective on the job market. As graduates, they appreciate the demands of the rigorous curriculum and intensive overseas portion.
Alumni also are a rich source of information about job openings at their companies.
They advise students on how to market themselves and identify key decision makers. Conducted on campus, the Alumni Career Seminars enable students to speak directly with graduates about their career goals. Many MIBS and IMBA alumni who are unable to participate in on-campus seminars have agreed to serve as mentors, or advisors, for students interested in their companies. Students can communicate with the mentors by telephone or correspondence. Upon request, mentors also will forward a student's resume to the appropriate contact at their companies.
