BA 685 International Business Immersion is an experiential course designed to enhance participant's global leadership capabilities, awareness of diverse business issues on the current international landscape, and on-the-ground experience in a specific country. The course responds to the increasing need for managers to have an international business perspective that enhances their business and management knowledge.

This experiential course involves three elements:

• Investigation of health care in a selected group of countries via lectures and case discussions during the first half-term. This involves learning about health care issues in a variety of emerging markets. Students will work on team projects that delve more deeply into specific institutions within these countries.  Guest speakers are invited.   
• Travel to the country over spring break to interview hospital employees and other stakeholders, in order to gather information about selected topics.
• Students complete the work on their team projects during the second half-term, which culminates with a final report and/or presentation.  

The following class is offered for Winter 2011:
