Tel Aviv University

 

The dramatic shift to an innovative and entrepreneurial high-tech orientation that the Israeli economy has undergone in recent decades has not only been acknowledged globally, it has also contributed to the prosperity of associated areas such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals and the ecology. You'll be right in the middle of the action when you travel to Israel for a two-week summer course, "The Changing Environment for International Business Abroad." This three-credit elective is held annually on the scenic campus of the Tel Aviv University- Recanati School of Business in Tel Aviv, Israel, located just minutes away from the Mediterranean Sea. It is open to first-year MBA students and continuing evening MBAs.

The program will frame the central aspects of doing business in Israel within the context of the country's booming high-tech and bio-tech economy and the emerging of global Israeli companies.


It will offer a unique synthesis between state of the art academic studies and practical, hands-on experience with the Israeli high-tech industry and its leaders.

Academically, the connecting thread of the DBI program will be a set of Recanati Business School case series on strategy issues of Israeli firms. The cases reflect the Israeli economy by concentrating on companies from different industries, at different lifecycle stages, and different in size. The study of each of these cases will be led by a guest lecturer from among the company's executives and will include a field trip to the company.

The 11-day program will consist of approximately 40 contact hours of classes and workshops, three company visits, a visit to the Tel Aviv stock exchange, and tours of Israel, including an overnight stay at a kibbutz.
