Hands-on Learning About Global Markets

Jennifer Gillespie Author

  • 1st Year (RC)
  • FIELD
The challenge posed to students in HBS’s FIELD Global Immersion (FGI) course sounds a bit like a premise for reality TV: Travel to unfamiliar markets where you might not speak the language, work in teams with students you might not know, and develop critical solutions to a business’s pressing issues—in just eight days.

This past May, more than 1,000 students in the Class of 2024, divided into faculty-led cohorts of some 70 students each, worked in 15 locations (see box) with 171 global business partners to get a firsthand look at how business is conducted around the world.

  • Entrepreneurship
My first semester teaching Entrepreneurship to first year MBAs at Harvard Business School has come to a close. “Just” 15 years ago, I sat in the exact same room as a member of the MBA class of 2010, and so this experience has been extra special, difficult, and inspiring. For those considering HBS and recently admitted students, I thought I’d share a few of my observations: [...]
