Executive MBA Students Explore Shanghai on March 2019 Global Study Tours

In March, two groups of Executive MBA students traveled to Shanghai, China, for a pair of Global Study Tours.

The first international trip, led by Professor Arun Sundararajan, included corporate visits to WPP/Kantar, Alibaba, Didi and Bytedance and offered students the opportunity to hear from speakers from the Financial Times, Huawei and Caixin Media. Additionally, the group kicked off the program with a day of sightseeing at Yuyuan Gardens and the Oriental Pearl Tower before making stops at the K11 Mall, China’s first art mall, and West Lake.
