Reinventing GlobalImmersion and EMBAExperiential LearningSuccessful Practices for Global Business Challenges& Consulting Projects in EMBA Curriculum Design

Austral Education Group was thrilled to have the opportunity to join our peers inthis exciting online forum. It is impossible to replace the excitement of meetingeverybody in person, whether this be at our booth, during the speaker sessions orover drinks at the hotel bar! We would like to extend our gratitude to the EMBACconference committee for organizing this wonderful event across multiple timezones. As a company that plans online global business modules every week, wetake our hat off to the organizers for hosting over 1,000 attendees. Wow!

I would also like to extend our gratitude to our EMBAC content session co-presenters Jonathan Doh, Associate Dean of Global Engagement and Researchfrom Villanova University and Balaji Koka, Associate Professor of StrategicManagement from Rice University. They graciously dedicated their time to explainhow their respective business schools have been approaching global immersionsin the midst of this pandemic and the impact of online global consulting projectsand business challenges on their curriculum learning outcomes.

We recognize that these are very busy times and so many of you did not have thetime to attend the Austral Group discussion with our partner schools. As a result,we have prepared this short summary document that contains the link to oursession recording, the presentation slides, as well as information about ourexperiential learning platform where you can browse dozens of consulting projectsand business challenges that could be the perfect fit for your EMBA and MBAcohorts in 2021: https://learning.theaustralgroup.com/
