Global Mobility Program
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 13 - 26 July 2008
The Melbourne GSM ran its second Global Mobility Program to Kuala Lumpur from the 12 – 25 July. 18 high achieving Masters students from across the Melbourne GSM successfully completed the program accompanied by Dr Andre Sammartino from the Department of Management and Marketing.
The program provided the students with valuable international work experience consulting on genuine business issues for Australian and Malaysian companies including an investment bank, an engineering firm, HR consultants and a convention centre.
The projects ranged from marketing based projects to business development and system adaptation projects. The students worked in teams and presented their findings and recommendations to senior company executives on the final day. The presentations were highly impressive, with the companies very pleased with the calibre of the students and the hard work they put into their projects. Feedback from the companies indicated that they intended to implement some of the recommendations proposed by the students. Other activities during the two-week program included a weekend sightseeing trip to Melaka and an introductory lecture series at exchange partner university, the University of Malaya.
