In studying the successful sustainability of Denmark and The Netherlands, Robin Iritz got a lesson in design theory with FCOB’s Sustainable Business Global Lab.
“Everyone always remarks on how Brazil is the next China, but now everyone is not so sure and there is a big question mark hovering over the country of Brazil.” This comment was made by Lina Vergara and Viviane Pereira from BMW Group Financial Services when they came and spoke with our EMGL: Brazil class about BMW’s operations in Brazil and their first- hand experiences conducting business in an emerging market like Brazil.
Hello! My name is Ellie and I’m a second year Finance major. This past May I went on the Freshman Global Lab to Cologne, Germany; Rotterdam, Netherlands; Brussels, Belgium; and London, England. I am a big fan of lists, so below is my list for my top 10 reasons to go on the Freshman Global Lab.
Studying abroad with Fisher has been one of the highlights of my college experience. In our short time of 11 days we were able to see and experience so many things. I had previously studied abroad in high school with my senior Spanish class to Costa Rica to experience the culture and language. This immersion was entirely different. The business component is what made this trip. Being able to speak in my native language, English, to global business professionals is something that simply could not be done in a normal classroom at Ohio State.
On the fourth day of the trip was our first site visit! It was with Angelini Pharmaceuticals. Their visit was very well organized. They took a lot of hey took a lot of effort to explain their facility and business as well as the effects of the economy on them. Their agenda included a company presentation, facility tour, coffee and snack break, question and answers, as well as their current research and development projects.
