Doing business ethically is a key strategy for long-term success financially, socially and politically.
Businesses’ commitment to responsible practices that unleash innovation, increase productivity, boost employee satisfaction and build customer loyalty.
Renowned business leaders will gather to discuss the challenges and opportunities of adopting business practices that benefits everybody in the organization.
This program provides a unique forum for executives or entrepreneurs to explore corporate ethics on a wide scale, beyond the standard material on economic and legal issues.

10. Some Students’ comments
This was a great way to meet people from other countries and cultures. I am sure the relationships developed for many people will last a long time…discussing the cases was beneficial and helped me to understand the thinking of the other individuals in my group.
The cultural exchange was the highlight of the trip. It was excellent working in groups and getting to know the students from Mexico, Columbia, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador.
The cultural interaction was great. This does enrich the EMBA experience greatly.
This residency was extremely valuable from the perspective of being able to learn to work with people from other countries, who have different ideologies, and also from the perspective of being able to discuss our various EMBA programs, their challenges, etc…
