The fifth-largest economy in the world, India seemed a perfect place for students to cultivate a rich understanding of business theory and a global perspective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a retiree from a corporate consumer products company, having the opportunity to go and look at consumer products companies in India, and look at how technology is driving innovation in their businesses was very exciting,\u201d Gekler said. \u201cIf you really want to see where the technology impacts are happening, this is a great country to visit, and I wanted my students to experience that.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said, the experience was made all the more special by co-leading the group with Pathak, who was born and raised in India. Through Pathak\u2019s connections, students were given \u201cred carpet\u201d treatment as they embarked on a lineup of diverse speakers, companies and educational institutions throughout their nine-day trip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel proud that this is the kind of business education we are providing,\u201d Pathak said. \u201cIt\u2019s much more well-rounded. It\u2019s got the liberal arts, the sciences, engineering and the business acumen all rolled into one experience, which is called life. And that\u2019s really satisfying.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 31.93 23.66\" width=\"34\">\n  <path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M19.94 23.655h11.988V12.578h-6.6a6.63 6.63 0 0 1 .662-3.486 8.55 8.55 0 0 1 5.721-4.722V.001a14.8 14.8 0 0 0-8.687 4.768q-3.089 3.606-3.089 9.994v8.893Zm-19.938 0H11.99V12.578h-6.6a7.5 7.5 0 0 1 .631-3.575q1.47-3.277 5.763-4.633V.001a14.54 14.54 0 0 0-8.771 4.788c-2 2.427-3.008 5.781-3.008 9.974Z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><p>You have to be a highly flexible and adaptable leader to be successful in a complex global business today, and there&#8217;s no better way to build that than through international experience.<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 31.93 23.66\" width=\"34\" style=\"transform:rotate(180deg);transform-origin:center\">\n  <path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M19.94 23.655h11.988V12.578h-6.6a6.63 6.63 0 0 1 .662-3.486 8.55 8.55 0 0 1 5.721-4.722V.001a14.8 14.8 0 0 0-8.687 4.768q-3.089 3.606-3.089 9.994v8.893Zm-19.938 0H11.99V12.578h-6.6a7.5 7.5 0 0 1 .631-3.575q1.47-3.277 5.763-4.633V.001a14.54 14.54 0 0 0-8.771 4.788c-2 2.427-3.008 5.781-3.008 9.974Z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/p>\n<cite>Brooks Gekler, affiliate instructor, School of Business<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An inclusive experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Global Study Tour has previously only been open to graduate students working toward an MBA, but this year Gekler and Pathak decided to also open the trip to a select group of undergraduate students who had already taken their business consulting course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it created a wonderful dynamic having both the graduate and undergraduate students,\u201d Gekler said. \u201cThe graduate students had an opportunity to serve as mentors and advisers for the undergraduates, and it was an exceptional experience for everyone.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Nichole Gordon, (Business Administration, Technology &amp; Innovation Management, \u201924), the opportunity to travel and experience another culture drew her to the tour, and she was excited by the prospect of working alongside MBA students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was hoping to do a lot of networking, as I knew we would be visiting some companies working with cutting-edge technology,\u201d Gordon said. \u201cI was really looking forward to connecting with both the students on the trip and the companies we visited. The trip exceeded my expectations! I made so many genuine connections on the Global Studies Tour that I hope will last a lifetime.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the companies the group visited include watch and jewelry manufacturer Titan Company, e-commerce giant Flipkart and even a company closer to home, Boeing, at its Bengaluru offices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these visits, students were also working toward the business-oriented outcome that drove the class. The objective? To pitch a concept for a product or service that doesn\u2019t currently exist in the North American market. Upon returning home, students collaborated in groups to develop their concepts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/20240318_115834-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/20240318_115834-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/20240318_115834-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/20240318_115834-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/20240318_115834-1200x901.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/20240318_115834-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/06\/20240318_115834.jpg 1436w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Innovative ways of connecting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the cultural differences India had to offer, the country\u2019s longstanding traditions around chai stood out to one of the groups. One company in particular caught their attention \u2014 Chai Point, which Gekler affectionately referred to as the Starbucks of India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe ritualistic aspect of a chai or coffee break was something we became very familiar with while in India,\u201d Gordon said. \u201cI was especially passionate about this idea because it really embodied everything we learned while there \u2014 how cutting-edge technology can seamlessly integrate with cultural traditions and bring people closer together.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The product the students pitched was an all-in-one brewing appliance with voice recognition and self-learning capabilities.
