Global Marketplace 2025

We are four weeks away from the MSU Executive MBA Global Marketplace International trips, and our Class of 2025 is eagerly anticipating this remarkable opportunity!

This year, students had the option to choose between three distinguished destinations to study international culture and strategy:

Dubai, United Arab Emirates/Mumbai, India
Santiago, Chile/Lima, Peru
A Domestic trip in Michigan focused on companies with a global footprint

We invite you to follow our journey, as we will be sharing our experiences live throughout the week.

Global Marketplace Course

The weeklong residency is the cornerstone of the Global Marketplace course, which emphasizes the opportunities, costs, and risks associated with conducting business internationally. This course highlights regions characterized by diverse cultures and emerging economies, providing students with the unique opportunity to gain firsthand experience in these environments.

Pre-Trip Preparation

Prior to the trips, students engage in comprehensive coursework designed to provide a robust foundation for learning. This preparation encompasses understanding the economic and cultural nuances of the regions they will visit.

On-the-Ground Activities

During the week abroad, students participate in activities centered around presentations by in-country experts and site visits to a variety of businesses and industries. These experiences are invaluable, offering students profound insights into global business operations.

Past Global Marketplace Experiences

Previous cohorts have had the privilege of exploring diverse destinations around the globe, including: Argentina, Brazil, Panama, Czech Republic, Japan, Malaysia, South Africa, Singapore, and Vietnam

The Global Marketplace course offers students a unique opportunity to broaden their horizons and develop a global perspective that will benefit them throughout their careers.
