In this bold new age of diminishing borders and instant communication, business is more international than at any time in history. A butterfly’s flutterings on Wall Street can cause a hurricane in Beijing, London or Dubai, and corporate empires around the world are rising and falling with unprecedented speed and worldwide consequences. This uncertain climate is rife with opportunities and pitfalls alike, and more than ever, we must call upon proven international business champions to help fine-tune our curricula, inspire our research and guide our way forward.
With its International Faculty Advisory Board composed of top-tier leaders in their respective fields, the Desautels Faculty of Management stands ready and equipped to face these new challenges head-on.
