UST MBA Students To Study Abroad in Prague
7/7/2009
 The University of St. Thomas Cameron School of Business will send a group of approximately 15 MBA students on a study abroad to Prague, Czech Republic in July to study the successful business practices of multinational companies operating in Prague.
Dr. Cristian Morosan, assistant professor of management and marketing, and a native of Romania, will lead the Prague study abroad, and teach the associated course, Globalization of Business Management, a three credit hour MBA class. The course will begin with classroom discussion July 13-16. The group will depart July 19, and return from Prague July 30.
Students will be in good hands – benefitting both from Morosan’s academic expertise and background in tourism marketing. Before coming to the United States, he strengthened his linguistic skills in English, French and Italian and worked as a tour guide and for the regional government in Romania.
“This study abroad will allow MBA students to learn what really happens abroad in terms of management of business organizations,” Morosan said. “It will be of tremendous educational value for University of St. Thomas MBA students to learn about how companies adapt to specific market conditions and cultures.”
While in Prague, the group will visit a broad range of companies including Coca Cola Czech Republic, CSA (Czech Airlines), Honeywell, McDonald’s, Prague Stock Exchange, Procter & Gamble Czech Republic, Skoda Auto (currently part of the Volkswager Group), Unipetrol (largest oil and gas company in the Czech Republic), Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, and Bacchus Vins and Champagnes.
“Being from Romania, I have seen the dramatic transformation in terms of development in Central and Eastern Europe,” Morosan said. “The development they have experienced is unprecedented. Many Eastern European countries have joined the European Union, so there is a lot of direct investment from the EU. Many multinational companies are there, people take globalization very seriously, and they are very open to foreign investment.”
