This year’s conference showcased several Olin MBA students who have provided leadership in finding solutions for global institutions. G.E., Emerson, Monsanto Co. and the Missouri Botanical Garden identified key international business issues they wish to solve and assigned related research objectives to MBA student teams as part of the school’s experiential learning program. Students presented their solutions to IBOC attendees. Afterward, a senior executive from each company addressed these and other issues that companies face in the global arena. More than 100 people registered for the student-organized event.
