Global Business and Social Enterprise

In an increasingly global economy, international experience for Indiana University MBA candidates comes from hands-on work in the field as much as the classroom. A group of students, led by Professor Sheri Fella, travel to Ghana to help local entrepreneurs tackle business challenges using cutting edge business practices. The Kelley MBA GLOBASE initiative provides a unique social enterprise experience by partnering with Ghanaian businesses to make a global impact.

Week #6


By Hemali Mehta

It’s hard to believe that we will be in Ghana in less than a month! We are all very excited but have much to do beforehand. This week, for example, our client deliverable is due. As part of the deliverable, we must define our project plan – including the who, what , and how’s that surround our strategy.

Luckily, we have had some amazing speakers in the past couple weeks to give us better perspective on the economic and political conditions in Ghana, which also included how to conduct business with the Ghanaian entrepreneurs. It is safe to say that business meetings in Ghana will be quite different than we have experienced here in the U.S!

In the weeks leading to our country visit, each of the Globase Ghana teams will be incredibly busy conducting final research, addressing assumptions, and creating recommendations for clients. Although there will be a lot of work to do, we all look forward to the warm weather, exploring the Ghanaian culture, and making a positive difference for our clients!
