Global Initiatives in Management (GIM) program is a
collaborative curriculum between Sasin and Kellogg School of Management. The
program objectives are to provide students with detailed understanding of
current business/economic environment in a country and business sectors of
their interest and allow them to establish business relationships that can be
beneficial for students, the Thai business community and Thailand as a
whole.
A GIM class has two components: a 11-week curriculum
(during module 3.1 and/or 3.2) in Bangkok and a one-week
(approximately) business field experience in a country of students’ choice.
Class sessions in Bangkok will provide a
broad overview of political, social, economic and business environment which
will be valuable for students’ group projects. Students will meet with
high-ranking officials, distinguished business figures, and distinguished
academic guest speakers to discuss ideas on various areas of interest.
During the business field trip, students meet with business and
government leaders and carry out the field research portion of their group
projects.
Unlike regular classes at Sasin, a GIM class is a
student-led course. Students initiate ideas and work to create a class based on
their interests on a particular country and business sectors. A group of
student leaders will be formed and each leader will be responsible for
different position. Each student leader will form a student committee (or subcommittees)
and they will work together in order to accomplish their objectives.
Participation of all students is required and each non-leader student should
participate in one of the student committees. There will be one faculty advisor
for each GIM class and the role of the faculty advisor is to supervise/advice
students and not to run the class in the conventional sense.
