Cambridge, UK: Strategy and International Management

Featuring interactive lectures by Wharton faculty, as well as guest speakers from the UK, this two-week program acquaints students with core concepts of management and international business. In addition, the course invites students to apply strategy and international management frameworks to relevant, contemporary business problems.   

Throughout the program, students will be asked to prepare university-level business cases that introduce a company’s management challenges and invite students to propose solutions.  

Case analysis is a key component of job selection processes for many elite companies, as well as an important method of instruction and assessment in most business schools around the world. Participants will gain a sense of how to approach case analysis and how to learn about general business theories by dissecting specific real-world cases.
