This course provides interdisciplinary education in an intensive 2 1/2 day format, specifically designed for industry professionals. It is the only course of its kind, offering a combination of project management, social science, and business theory, and crystallizing "cutting-edge research" from Stanford's very own Collaboratory for Research on Global Projects.

Course Objectives

To prepare industry professionals to anticipate and navigate the challenges that arise in planning, staffing, and structuring a complex, capital-intensive project in a foreign market context.

Participants will Learn

To gather intelligence information to decipher idiosyncrasies, dynamics, and drivers of a foreign market context
To avoid "hidden costs" that come with differences in language, emotion, culture, conventions, legal-regulatory systems, property rights, and industrial organization
To create joint ventures and strategic alliances that work and to recruit and manage a diverse local staff

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for professionals directly involved in entering foreign markets to explore for resources, develop property, build factories, assist with humanitarian relief efforts, or undertake some other major initiative.
