GLOBAL BUSINESS NETWORK

“Learn teamwork through practical group work in diversity” A big advantage of IUJ’s MBA program is that we can learn how, in practice, to work in teams by doing group work alongside people with diverse opinions, cultural backgrounds and work experience. I personally learned a lot not only from my professors but also from my classmates, and that made me realize how much I have yet to learn.
