Global Management Foundations is innovative, effective, and flexible. The content is well-delivered so we can enjoy high quality interaction with class peers and faculty. We break out into smaller groups, then come back to the main classroom and discuss with everyone. It’s a great way to learn.

The quality of the learning is exceptional. From the lecturers, the material, the quality of the videos and I really love the case studies. Super interesting. One advantage of this virtual learning is that we can get input from people who were directly involved in the cases.
