International assignment
The week-long international assignment allows Sloan Fellows to develop an understanding of a particular regional economy and the factors that contribute to its development and success.
Integrating your Sloan Masters in Leadership and Strategy learning with practical experience on the International Assignment is a powerful and enjoyable part of the programme.
Accompanied by a member of faculty, you travel to a destination such as China, the Russian Federation, India, South Africa or Argentina. Working in small teams, you spend a week working closely with an organisation on a real business project or visiting companies, NGOs, institutions and consultancies to gain fresh insight into international business practices.
The portfolio of international assignments provides you with a choice of both location and theme, as listed below:
- India - Explore the capability of an organisation to innovate and adapt to change
- China - Examine the world's fastest growing emerging economy in a global market and the implications for international business
- South Africa - Conduct an internal communications audit to understand how cultural change is led
- Russian Federation - Learn how fast-growing companies can effectively develop their businesses
- Argentina - Explore how Argentine businesses and institutions adapt and survive in a volatile climate.
All students must complete one international assignment, and you have the option of completing a second at an additional cost.
