The MIT Sloan community is working to establish business practices that strengthen local economies and give people and organizations the knowledge to conduct business productively in every corner of the global marketplace. The MIT-China Management Education Project, for example, sends a group of MIT Sloan MBAs to China to share knowledge and experience with their Chinese peers.
On the other side of the world, MIT Sloan has forged a partnership with ITESM (Monterrey Tech) to stimulate creative collaboration between Mexico and the United States in both academia and industry. And in Seoul, South Korea, MIT Sloan and Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) are working together to create a new MBA program at the SKKU School of Business with the goal of creating one of the top 100 MBA programs in the world by 2010.
As part of his visit to China this summer, Professor Andrew Lo gave a talk to the MIT Alumni Club of Shanghai and the IMBA Alumni of Fudan entitled, “What Happened to the Quants in August 2007?” More on MIT Sloan's activities in China >>
