Starting this fall, a new international business policy course will be offered as part of the core curriculum for MBAs. An international business policy class was offered a few years ago, but now has been updated with a non-traditional twist.
Mays administrators asked Christian Seelos from the prestigious IESE Business School in Barcelona to teach eight weeks of the 10-week course. Seelos is originally from Austria and has traveled across the world, teaching international business and strategy in Europe, Africa and the United States. His background is unique–not only has he worked with the United Nations, but he also has a master’s and a PhD in molecular biology.
Two of Mays’ own faculty will teach the course also. Michael Hitt, Distinguished Professor in Management, will teach one week on China, incorporating his own experience from strategy work in China. Venkatesh Shankar, Coleman Chair Professor in Marketing, will teach one week about his home country, India.
