Dr. Manning presented me with the opportunity to make a decision regarding the Taiwanese market while Brewer resources were diverted to other international markets. I'm sure this also presented Dr. Manning's students with excellent 'real world' experience. Thus, a win-win situation was established, which is one of the core values at Brewer Science. This is the first time UMR students have worked with World Trade Center Saint Louis. The program was initiated by Manning, who teaches the international finance class the in which students were enrolled last semester.
Students win because they gain exposure to working with a real-world company.
The company benefits because students provide a staff to address a specific issue at little or no cost to the company. World Trade Center Saint Louis benefits because a company is assisted in developing its international business efforts. The research was conducted under the direction of Dr. Manning and The World Trade Center Saint Louis. The department is hopeful that some grant money or special contributions will be available to fund more projects like this in the future. Also, please be reminded that the economics faculty and staff are always available to assist its alums with their projects.
