Alkire Symposium on International Business and Economics

Developing a Global Mindset: As Dorothy said, ?We?re not in Kansas anymore.? ABOUT THIS YEAR'S SYMPOSIUM A global mindset is a key to success when marketing products outside the United States or working with individuals or leading a team from other countries or regions. Michael Podolinksy ?77, Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), will help us broaden our current mindset as Minnesotans who come from the second most ethnocentric country in the world. We will also examine the B.E.S.T. approach to culture and how to work in harmony with people from different countries speaking thousands of languages and dialects.
