In spring of 2003, ten teams of MAP students were selected to work on a special project (xMAP) with Prof. C.K. Prahalad (Harvey C. Fruehauf Professor of Business Administration and Professor of Corporate Strategy and International Business), to document how companies across the world were working successfully to provide products and services and improve the living conditions of the poorest of the poor.
Along with written case studies, each team also produced a video documentary of the companies and the people they serve. The cases and videos created have helped change global development policy at the State Department, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Study abroad is an effective way to accomplish internationalization of faculty and
students; however, there are many challenges relating to study abroad that need to be resolved. The
underlying rationale for study abroad is evolving, as are the anticipated outcomes for students studying
abroad. Moreover, there is no single source of information about study abroad and best practices relating
to study abroad. As a response to these challenges, more than sixty faculty and administrators from
business and other disciplines gathered in East Lansing to share their perspectives and experiences and
brainstorm about solutions to issues surrounding study abroad.
