At GLEMBA, 'think global, act local" is not just a slogan. It is everyday practice. Top performers from DFW and beyond, GLEMBA students are the most globally oriented group of professionals that I have met and taught.

In my Global Business Strategy class, we engage case studies of companies headquartered in China, France, Germany, Israel, South Africa, and the United States, doing business in a variety of local markets---one market at a time.
