Mastering the Business of Medicine by Sharla A. Paul 
From MD to MBA: The Next Step in Patient Care? by Faye Goolrick |
International conference bolsters academic partnerships The Goizueta Business School Office of International Programs hosted representatives from seventeen schools and institutes in Europe, Latin America, and the U.S. for a three-day conference on international partnerships last December. 
Participants included business school deans, program directors, and senior administrators, who met to address common interests concerning the value of forging alliances and building global partnerships."In a highly competitive global marketplace, partnerships are an important means to enhance and expand our offerings," says Director of International Programs Nancy Roth Remington '86EMBA. "What emerged from our meetings was not only a variety of specific ideas for managing common problems, but also criteria by which diverse institutions could decide how to move ahead in terms of what programs to implement, whether a partnership is the best way to go, and then how to select the right partner." Stateside input at the conference came from representatives of UCLA, Tulane University, and the Economics Institute in Colorado, which offers a pre-MBA program that the U.S. business schools have helped to redesign. Visiting participants were asked to lead discussion sessions on topics ranging from planning joint academic endeavors to managing culture clash in international teams. "Hearing how Hungarian and Czech colleagues integrate multi-ethnic students versus the techniques used in England and Costa Rica gave all of us enriched perspectives on the situations we face," says Roth Remington. The conference attracted several business schools with whom Goizueta has long-standing ties, including institutions in Switzerland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary, the U.K., Mexico, and Costa Rica.
