"The study trip opens your eyes on how different things are from one economy to another and how cultures and political climates affect business environment. As the world flattens, people will get increased exposure to international business. An important aspect of this is realizing that the traditional way you do business in your own country may be very different from the way it’s done in other countries." VIPIN DUGGAL ENGAGEMENT MANAGER VYKOR UW TMMBA 2002

Enhance your global view of business
The twin forces of technology and globalization bring tremendous challenges and untapped opportunities for businesses. Learn how to navigate an increasingly flat world by examining another global viewpoint. Themes of globalism, international strategy, macroeconomics and cross-cultural communication are infused throughout the TMMBA curriculum.

Explore global organizations
You’ll have an opportunity to see globalism firsthand during an optional International Study Trip. With more businesses competing in a global marketplace, it is important to understand how operational innovations, business practices and economic issues affect and are affected by businesses in other countries. The study trip gives you the opportunity to broaden your business knowledge base and immerse yourself in a different culture. Visit businesses, tour manufacturing facilities and interact with local business leaders and government officials.

Help select a destination
This optional trip takes place during spring break of the second year. Previous study trips include France, Japan and China. The destination and duration are determined by both the program and the students.
