The Global Economic Crisis Diagnosis, Analysis, and Action

The information below is based on the program offered in 2009, and does not reflect potential changes to faculty and course content for the 2010 course.

This program is limited to MBA graduates of Harvard Business School and those who have previously participated in an HBS Executive Education program.

As we enter the fourth quarter of 2009, some areas of the global economy show signs of recovery, while others remain flat or continue to contract. The Global Economic Crisis program is designed exclusively for members of the Harvard Business School (HBS) community. During this timely program, HBS faculty who are industry experts will present their latest research on the future of the global economy.

By examining new ways to spot and capture emerging opportunities, you will position your organization to sustain competitive advantage as the economy recovers. The Global Economic Crisis program will explore critical questions such as:

  • How will your organization capitalize on opportunities that emerge across industries and markets?
  • How will the changes in the regulatory environments of countries world-wide affect businesses around the globe?
  • How will the long-term effects of a deep recession impact the future of the global economy?

Following on the success of the inaugural offering in March, HBS faculty are developing new sessions based on their latest research. Please check this website frequently for program updates. Given the overwhelming response to the program offered in March, we encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible.

Since we expect this offering to quickly reach capacity, please submit your registration form at least four weeks before the program start date.

This unique program is limited to MBA graduates of Harvard Business School and those who have previously participated in an HBS Executive Education program. If you have questions about your eligibility or want to learn more, you may call our client service specialists weekdays, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, at 1-800-HBS-5577 (outside the U.S., dial +1-617-495-6555) or executive_education@hbs.edu.
