GE Global Learning Center

Established with an endowment from GE, the GE Global Learning Center develops business education programs that produce graduates who understand and excel in today’s global business environment. As more business is transacted across borders, managers must broaden their view of markets and competition. Doing business in a global economy requires new learning: how to find the right country/region in which to build a plant, how to coordinate production schedules across borders, and how to absorb research wherever it occurs. The global manager must know who to hire, how to foster global thinking among the ranks, and when to standardize products instead of customizing them for local markets.
