Friday Factoid: “Doing Business in…China, Argentina, Ireland, Italy, etc.” at Stern

For those seeking global immersion during their business school experience, New York University’s Stern School of Business provides ample opportunity to study abroad, with trips as short as one to two weeks, through its Doing Business in… (DBi) program.  Bi trips take place between the fall and winter semesters, during spring break and in May (after classes conclude).  Each course (trip) is tailored to its specific locale and includes a mix of lectures given by Stern faculty as well as local business practitioners and/or government representatives.  Complementing the classroom learning are hands-on field experiences at such places as corporate headquarters, factories, ports and development sites.  Past DBi locations have included Beijing, Dublin, Buenos Aires, Hong Kong, Milan and Melbourne, just to name a few.  Students who participate in the DBi program have the chance to gain a new perspective on conducting business in a different culture and likely make some great memories with fellow “Sternies” along with way.
