Washington: A Southern
California based doctoral research university is launching its
third global residency programme next month in India and has plans
to add two more in the future.
"The Indian Economy and the Epicentre of Globalization" is a
one-week residency in Mumbai from Jan 1 to 8 for University of
California, Riverside School of Business Administration
undergraduate students, graduate students and alumni.
It joins similar one-week residency programmes in England and
China that were started the past two years, the university
announced Tuesday. Future plans call for adding programmes in
Russia and Brazil.
"The programmes expose students to emerging markets and give them
global experience in an academic, business and cultural
environment," said Sean Jasso, who organizes the trips and is a
lecturer of management at the School of Business Administration.
The programmes started in spring 2010 with a weeklong residency at
the University of Oxford in England. In 2011, students returned to
Oxford and added Guangzhou and Shenzhen, China in June of that
year.
In 2012, students will return to those two countries and travel to
India from Jan 1 to 8. The past trips and the upcoming trip to
India have drawn about 80 students.
The residency in India will explore the strategic issues that US
and foreign multinationals face when doing business in India.
Lecture topics include India as a transitional economy, Mumbai's
economy, financing in India, culture and leadership in India and
India's future economic growth.
Participants will visit Tata Consultancy Service; L&T Infotech, a
global IT services and solutions provider; the US Chamber of
Commerce; and the National Stock Exchange.
