Dear Georgetown alumni and friends of alumni,
The Georgetown School of Business is running a program designed to give its MBAs real experience for consulting in China. They are looking for companies and organizations in China to give them consulting projects, which they will work on from October to March 2010. They will do this for free.
This is a tremendous opportunity, and we strongly encourage all alumni and friends of alumni to contact the faculty leaders: Professor Pietra Rivoli and Elaine Romanelli.

The Georgetown University School of Business is committed to promoting learning and leadership in international business. We believe that such education cannot be done from afar; students must experience first-hand the challenges of doing business both across national borders and within other countries. Georgetown’s International Residencies provide such experiences for students in all of our MBA programs.
For this Experience, we seek consulting projects from either small or large companies or organizations, located in the US or anywhere else in the world, which have interests in China. Projects can focus on market and industry analysis, financial valuation, production and operations, social issues, or any specific functional or management issue that confronts management of the sponsoring organization. Since 2003, we have served more than 50 client companies and organizations with interests in China.
We offer to sponsoring organizations teams of 5-6 second year MBA students who are closely supervised by full-time Georgetown faculty. Projects will be assigned to students in October 2009. The teams will work from Washington DC between October and February, and projects will be completed on location in Shanghai in early March 2010. Typically, the teams will provide a presentation and final report to their clients in or near Shanghai or Washington in early March 2010, though other arrangements are possible. There are no costs to the client companies.
