A cornerstone
of Kellogg's international offerings
is Global
Initiatives in Management (GIM), which annually attracts
nearly 500 students to courses that study about 16 different
regions of the world. Designed by students with the help of
a faculty adviser, these courses include 10 weeks of rigorous
classroom instruction followed by a two-week research trip to
the chosen region. While in their host countries, students meet
with high-level government officials and business executives
to complete the research needed for their final projects.
This program
is intended for all students, not just those majoring in international
business. The program began in 1990 with one class of 34 students
studying the Soviet Union. In 2007, over 500 students took
part in GIM, conducting research in Africa, the European Union,
China, Turkey and Dubai, and other regions. Students representing
all three MBA programs offered by the Kellogg School —
Full-Time, Part-Time and Executive MBA — were active
participants.
GIM courses
are student-organized study programs that combine classroom
instruction in the winter quarter with field research abroad
during the spring break, and seminar presentations of written
student reports in the spring quarter.
