The Perlmutter Institute for Global Business Leadership is designed to prepare students for leadership positions in the global corporation of the future or in the not-for-profit sector. The Institute will build upon the theoretical and technical knowledge that students acquire in the classroom by exposing them to real-life issues through interaction with seasoned global business and policy leaders to sharpen their analytical decision-making skills. The program will enable students to gain a deeper understanding of the interaction of legal, economic and political forces, and market conditions on organizational behavior and policy.
