All students undertake several study visits to British firms.
The program is designed for mature undergraduate students in business administration who have completed their junior year and who are motivated to enrich their academic and personal lives with the experience of living and learning in a foreign setting. As students learn to understand business from other than an American perspective, they are rewarded by acquiring an increased awareness of intercultural differences. The course tutor for Comparative Strategic Management is David Faulkner , a Fellow at Christ Church College and an Oxford educated economist who has spent much of his career as a strategic management consultant and business builder. He has published widely and has researched conditions for success in International Strategic Alliances. Adrian Buckley , a professor of International Financial Management at the Cranfield School of Management and a past director of its MBA program, leads the International Finance course.
