Who is eligible for the course?
A maximum of 25 MBA2s and evening MBAs.
What is the primary focus of this course?
Developing students' global leadership acumen through a student- chosen project on any topic relevant to Turkey's bid for membership into the European Union. As well, the overarching theme of this course is 'Bridging in a Global Market Place,' where students will work to connect what seem like very disparate issues - BoP to ToP, traditionalism and cosmopolitanism, and growth and sustainability.
What kind of student would be best suited to this course?
Students who have an appreciation of the challenges and opportunities related to cross-cultural management and a sense of the skills needed to compete in a cross-cultural environment.
Will this cost me any money?
Are you asking if there is such a thing as a free lunch? This entire class will cost less than spring break on the Côte d'Azur, and about the same as a week surfing in Coolangatta. This trip-- which will include access to and networking opportunities with business leaders and managers from diverse industries, government leaders, and MBA students from Koc and Sabanci University in Istanbul, along with city tours-- would cost much more if it were not for a gracious subsidy provided by WDI and the Dean's office. To find out more specifics, please attend the information session.
Do I bid on this class? If not, then, how do I get into the class?
Students will not need to bid for this class. The process will be explained at the information session.
Are International Students eligible?
We are all international students in the global marketplace, no? If the student can legally travel to Turkey, then yes, s/he is eligible.
How do you say "hello" in Turkish?
Depends on the target of your greeting of course...
merhaba -> hi, hello
nasilsiniz? -> how are you? (formal)
naber? -> what's up (very causal)
What else should students know about this course?
