Penetrating and achieving growth in emerging economies will be one of the corporate executive’s greatest challenges in the new millennium. To help senior managers succeed in these dynamic markets, the University of Michigan Business School and the William Davidson Institute have designed the Managing in Transition and Emerging Economies: A New Beginning Program.

Managing in Transition and Emerging Economies combines the functional expertise of the University of Michigan’s Executive Education Center’s faculty with the regional and political economy expertise of the William Davidson Institute associates. Afternoon workshops allow participants to discuss challenges and experiences, with Davidson Institute experts facilitating the exchange of ideas. The interactive program format will also allow participants the opportunity to communicate with experts around the globe through distance-learning technologies.

This program has been designed for men and women in senior positions, such as chief operating officers, strategic planners, corporate development executives, new business initiative leaders, regional vice presidents and directors, and directors of functional areas in operations and finance. It is highly recommended that more than one executive per company attend to make this a team learning experience. The five-day program will be held December 11–15, 2000, at the University of Michigan Business School’s Executive Education Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
