We just wrapped up the graduation of 14 Fellows from the Emerging Markets Institute. I am excited that they are heading off to full time roles ranging from Boston Consulting Group in Indonesia and Private Equity in Ethiopia. They are an impressive bunch, and I foresee them continuing to contribute valuable insights back to our institute.
At the same time, we are gearing up for a full Summer and Fall semester. On June 19, we are hosting an Emerging Market Roundtable at Citi on Park Avenue in New York. There will be two sessions: one on “Managing Risk” and the other on “Forming Public Private Partnerships”. On September 3, Mark Hutchinson, CEO of GE China will be making a return visit to Ithaca, while on September 4, we are hosting Michel Temer, the Vice President of Brazil, for breakfast at the Cornell Club in New York. Mr. Temer will give us an overview of the opportunities in the Brazilian economy. In mid-October, we will present a full day conference on “Innovation in Latin America”. We hope to...

We are kicking off the new academic year with a full slate of activities.

Hello Friends of EMI,
My assistant, Nichole, came to me and said, "We need a title for this entry". I thought she said, "We need a title of the century." After giving it some thought, I really could not come up with anything better than "Title of the Century", and thus my most recent blog was named.
As I write this, I am working with students from Johnson and ESCP, a pan European business school, on wrapping up their global consulting projects. The Johnson and ESCP students had been working on teams to tackle diverse project such as helping a medical device company to enter the Brazilian marketplace, sorting out call center and customer service issues for a major software company, assisting a French bank to enter Africa, and expanding the Latin American market for a major chip manufacturer. The ESCP students visited us for 10 days to finalize. The projects have proved to be challenging, but also rewarding. We are enjoying the exchange of cultures and business school formats while bringing the consulting projects to a close. ...

Welcome to the inaugural blog from the Emerging Markets Institute at Johnson. We have aggressive plans ahead of us for the coming semester. Please continue to watch our website, as we are planning significant additions to our content. Our goal is to make our website into a one stop shop for information related to the emerging markets.
In December, 2011 we announced our first class of Emerging Market fellow candidates. These 16 students will have to complete a rigorous body of coursework, a management practicum, and study trips during their tenure here at Johnson. When finished, they will be designated as “fellows” and be qualified to assume roles either directly in emerging markets, or in headquarters/regional offices with emerging market responsibilities. The students come from a variety of professional backgrounds and countries, and will be enhancing our programming and thought leadership.
The Institute is already at work bringing exciting speakers to Johnson. Last fall, we were pleased...
