Chile 2010

Participants are welcomed to join with or without registering for academic credit.

Organized by the Global MBA program, the Kean University Global Business Travel Learn provides the students a real-life international business experience in one of the most fascinating and growing emerging market in South America. The program is open to Kean graduate students, undergraduate senior in the business school, faculty, staff, and external participants like Alumni, parents and friends. The student participants need to register for the travel learn course, attend orientation classes and complete a project to get 3 credits. The non students will need to register for a continuing education course at Kean University .

The trip includes, visits to local and multinational businesses (e.g. Caterpillar, HSBC, P&G) and also lectures by local experts from business and academia. Our home base will be the capital of Chile (Santiago). From there we will take day trips to some of the most famous regions and sites of Chile (Valparaiso, the famous wine region of Chile, and one of the largest copper mines in the world). Participants will have the opportunity to meet and network with local MBA students.

At the end of the trip, participants can return directly back to the US or choose some fascinating recommended extensions like to visit Easter Island, or Machu-Pichu in Peru. Details and the cost for the various extensions will be provided later.
