Global Immersion: Business in Latin America—Chile

This course aims to develop in-depth knowledge of current trends and skills in sustainable innovation. Innovation is at the heart of economic growth and the lives of millions depend on it in developing countries. At the same time, market expansion in these countries have often brought massive changes that threaten the economic and environmental sustainability of the most vulnerable. Both Carey Business School faculty and professors of local universities will provide classes on the history and current status of innovation in business in Chile and their impacts on sustainability. Of particular importance will be the discussion of how private initiatives can deliver successful business opportunities while contributing to local sustainability. Corporate and government organization visits will complement lectures and case studies to assess how businesses are adjusting to changing business landscapes.
