The Georgetown Shanghai Team

The Georgetown School of Business is running a program designed to give its MBAs real experience consulting in China. They are looking for companies and organizations in China to give them consulting projects, which they will work on from October to March 2011 at no cost. This is the second year the alumni club has been involved with this.

We believe this is a tremendous opportunity, and we strongly encourage all alumni and friends of alumni to contact the faculty leaders, Professor Pietra Rivoli and Elaine Romanelli. Here are the details:

7th Annual MBA Global Experience Shanghai: 2011

Professor Pietra Rivoli: (202) 687-3775 rivolip@georgetown.edu
Professor Elaine Romanelli: (202) 687-4188 romanele@georgetown.edu

The Georgetown University School of Business is committed to promoting learning and leadership in international business. Such education cannot be done from afar; students must experience first-hand the challenges of doing business both across national borders and within other countries. Georgetown’s International Residencies provide such experiences for students in our MBA programs.

For this Experience, we seek consulting projects from companies or organizations that have interests in China. Projects can focus on market and industry analysis, financial valuation, production and operations, social issues, or any specific functional or management issue that confronts the leadership of the sponsoring organization. Since 2003, we have served more than 70 client companies and organizations with interests in China.
