美國伊里諾伊州Evanston，8月1日：美國西北大學(xué)(Northwestern University)凱洛格商學(xué)院(The Kellogg School of Management)今天宣布為其MBA課程推出一個全球課程新要求。

該要求將于2008年6月正式生效，對象是參加全日制MBA課程的學(xué)生。這一課程要求上改進(jìn)凸顯了凱洛格商學(xué)院在培養(yǎng)既能運用創(chuàng)造性解決方案應(yīng)對商業(yè)挑戰(zhàn)，又能在各種不同群體間建立共識的全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人才方面的努力。為了滿足這一新要求，學(xué)生要完成以下課程，如跨文化談判(Cross-Cultural Negotiation)、國際金融(International Finance)、國際營銷(International Marketing)、國際商務(wù)戰(zhàn)略(International Business Strategy)或全球管理課程(Global Initiatives in Management)。

凱洛格商學(xué)院院長Dipak C. Jain表示：“當(dāng)今，學(xué)生不僅必須能在理論上掌握全球文化錯綜復(fù)雜的關(guān)系，還必須能獲得機(jī)會讓理論聯(lián)系實際，將其所學(xué)應(yīng)用到現(xiàn)實世界的合作環(huán)境中來，這一點非常重要。該全球課程新要求就能實現(xiàn)這一重要目標(biāo)，規(guī)范了我們學(xué)院培養(yǎng)能在富有挑戰(zhàn)性的全球商業(yè)環(huán)境中脫穎而出的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人才的承諾。”

除了該全球課程要求之外，凱洛格商學(xué)院還有幾個鼓勵全球商業(yè)視角和經(jīng)驗學(xué)習(xí)的現(xiàn)有課程。例如，該學(xué)院1989年確定的全球管理課程(GIM)，它是一個很受歡迎的學(xué)術(shù)研究課程，包括為期10周的課堂訓(xùn)練和在指定的幾個國家中的一個國家為期2周的嚴(yán)格實地研究。2007年春季凱洛格商學(xué)院共有500多名學(xué)生參與了該課程，2008年6月開始，GIM將滿足凱洛格商學(xué)院的全球課程要求。

Kellogg International Business& Markets Program(凱洛格商學(xué)院國際商業(yè)與市場課程)主管Torben G. Andersen教授表示：“推出具有實踐成分的全球課程在全球頂尖的商學(xué)院中是一個很明顯的趨勢。凱洛格很久以前便擁有了這類課程，現(xiàn)在仍然是提供以日益多樣化國際課程為基礎(chǔ)的經(jīng)驗學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會的領(lǐng)先院校。”

KelloggSchoolof Management Introduces Global Course Requirement

Aug. 1, 2007 - The Kellogg School of Management atNorthwesternUniversitytoday announced the introduction of a global course requirement to its MBA curriculum.

The requirement officially will take effect in June 2008 for students in the Full-Time MBA Program. The enhancement underscores theKelloggSchool’s commitment to developing global leaders who apply creative solutions to business challenges and who are able to build consensus across diverse groups. To fulfill the new requirement, students can complete courses such as Cross-Cultural Negotiation, International Finance, International Marketing, International Business Strategy or Global Initiatives in Management.

“Today, it is critical that students not only grasp the intricacies of our global culture in theory, but that they also are granted the opportunity to apply teachings in a real-world, collaborative environment,” said Dipak C. Jain, dean of the Kellogg School of Management. “The global course requirement accomplishes this important objective and formalizes our school’s commitment to developing leaders equipped to thrive in the challenging global business landscape.”

In addition to the global course requirement, theKelloggSchoolhas several existing initiatives that encourage global business perspectives and experiential learning. For example, the school’s Global Initiatives in Management (GIM) course, which was established in 1989, is a popular academic offering that combines 10 weeks of classroom training with two weeks of rigorous field research in one of several countries. More than 500KelloggSchoolstudents participated in the course in the spring of 2007. Beginning in June 2008, GIM will satisfy theKelloggSchool’s global course requirement.

“A distinct trend toward introducing global initiatives with a practical component is emerging across the world’s top business schools,” said Professor Torben G. Andersen, director of the Kellogg International Business & Markets Program. “Kellogg has long embraced this approach and remains a leader in offering experiential learning opportunities that are predicated on an increasingly diverse set of international course offerings.”
