THE GLOBAL BUSINESS LEADERSHIP CENTER - International Graduate Education
The Transformation Models

Understanding the impact of globalization on our world and knowing how to capitalize on the global economy are required of a business leader or business student today. Talking with global leaders, seeing firsthand the impacts of culture, political systems and economic systems on global business and understanding how to apply that knowledge in a business environment are invaluable in developing global business acumen.
Seeing transformation happen in a business context is necessary for persons preparing for a global leadership role. The center will prepare global leaders to be transformational leaders by strengthening their understanding of social, economic, educational and spiritual issues as seen through various cultural filters.
