Who Is Right for the Program
Global Strategic Management is designed for senior decision makers with significant responsibility for global operations at established multinational business organizations. This HBS Executive Education program is especially appropriate for corporate global strategists, business unit managers, country managers, or individuals preparing to step into one of these positions.
While the program focuses on the general management challenges of larger multinational businesses, this broad perspective also benefits executives in functional roles with extensive multinational responsibilities in global marketing, manufacturing, legal, or finance. Given the intensely collaborative nature of global management, companies are invited to send individuals and teams.
Participants will include executives from a wide range of industries, countries, and cultures, who represent companies that have been doing business globally for decades as well as those that are expanding their global presence. The group's diversity will create a highly stimulating exchange of ideas and expand each participant's worldview.
Typical participant titles include:
- Business unit manager
- Chief executive officer
- Chief marketing officer or vice president, global marketing
- Country manager
- Director, strategy and global business development
- Executive vice president, international
- Managing director
