MBA Students Return from China Study Tour

Twenty nine (29) students of the Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business’ MBA programmes are now imbued with a more global mindset having recently returned from a two week study tour to China.

This initiative grew out of the business school’s premise to take the MBA experience to another level by equipping students with skills that will serve them beyond the classroom and build their international experience.

The MBA students comprise managers and executives from a wide cross section of corporate Trinidad who are charged with increasing the relevance and responsiveness of their companies to the changing business environment. They have returned from China with a more global perspective and understanding of the unique cultural, economic and political forces at work in one of the world’s fastest growing economies.
