چکیده (انگلیسی):

To be successful managers in the business world of the 21
st
century, MBA students must acquire
global skills of business acumen, reflection, cultural sensitivity, and multi-cultural teamwork.
Developing these skills requires international experience, but educating part-time MBAs creates a
special challenge demanding both rigor and efficiency. This paper describes an innovative way to
address this challenge. Based on the study tour concept, the course incorporates a three-part
multinational opportunity analysis project for a full semester, and provides students a chance to
interact with professors and students from a university in another country. The students develop
critical global skills with only an abbreviated travel experience abroad.
