Students across the world have the opportunity in the 2013 Global Enterprise Experience to develop their skills in global leadership, cross cultural management, creative problem solving, and using business to create a better world.
Entry is free for the contest that runs for three weeks from May 1 – May 22.
Deb Gilbertson, the director of Global Enterprise Experience told IGIHE in an email that the contest seeks to make the team of 8 people with at least one member from a wealthy country, a poor country, a large country and a small country.
The lecturer at Victoria university of Wellington in New Zealand added that the contest aims at maximizing diversity in cultures, religion and world views.
Teams will communicate via the web to develop a “six-page business concept proposal that addesses a millenium goal of the the United Nations Development Program”.
Details of the contest and examples of teams report from previous year can be seen on the contest website – www.geebiz.org.
The registration deadline for the 2013 Global Enterprise Experience is on April 18th.
The winning team members and the winning individual each receive $NZ1000 (about US$820).
All completing participants receive a certificate and letter of recommendation. # Students generally find this to be a profound learning experience, and a key talking point in their CV and Job interviews#, said the director of the Global Enterprise Experience Deb Gilbertson.
