©WU Executive AcademyGlobal Team Project: Learn to Work and Think Globally
Working efficiently in global teams and leading multinational projects successfully are topics of increasing importance for businesses worldwide. In order to encourage networked global thought-processes, the Global Executive MBA has an integral global team project (GTP) as a key part of its curriculum. Students will directly apply new approaches and concepts to an explicit business project. It lasts six months and is presented to an expert panel during the International Immersion in the U.S.A..
Team Structure and Composition
The project unites Executive MBA participants of three world-class business schools: The WU Vienna (Austria), the Carlson School of Management (U.S.A.) and the Lingnan (University) College (China).
The teams are put together considering members are from varying industries and sectors. This ensures the broadest possible range of experience and perspectives.
Students brought together in global teams not only work on a highly demanding topic but also face the inherent challenges of working across cultures and three different time zones.
Customized Online Learning
For the duration of the project, the teams use online communication platforms to facilitate interactive working processes. This enables the teams to acquire real-life practice in international projects – while still reflecting the demanding nature of working in a global team. Throughout the journey, teams receive support and coaching from university professors.
