The ability to work effectively in a multinational, team-based environment. This includes teams in dispersed locations and inter-organizational structures Expertise in using information technology in management.
Students use cutting-edge communications technology to learn, share ideas and work together.
A key goal of the program is to provide students with firsthand experience in using technology to manage work across barriers of time and space Because EMIL is built on the existing reputation of Georgia Tech's work in Logistics, students join a strong alumni base from Georgia Tech and from The Logistics Institute. The geographic dispersion of participants broadens the sense of community and reinforces the global nature of business. Communication is key and participants are required to maintain regular contact between intensive residential sessions through project work and interactive discussions. All rights reserved.
