Students consider many factors before pursuing graduate management eduction. The annual Corporate Recruiters Survey published by GMAC® found that career advancement is a prime motivator for pursuing graduate management education and that corporate recruiters project a robust demand for business school graduates, with nine in ten of them expect it to increase or remain stable in the next five years.
Given the anticipated growth in demand for graduate business school there is an increased need for business school leaders to examine the hiring trends for MBA students and understand how they can expand relevant students offerings. In the September Collab we will explore questions like: What are recruiters looking for when hiring graduate business school students? How can we position our graduates for success? What skills do employers value in our students? and How can we keep MBA programs relevant for students working in a post COIVD-19 world?
The conversation will be led by Rahul Choudaha, Director of Industry Insights & Research Communications at Graduate Management Admission Council® (GMAC®) who will discuss the findings of their latest Corporate Recruiters Survey.

The Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) began programming in Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 2013 with the understanding that improving the conditions for women’s economic empowerment in PNG requires a supportive ecosystem of interconnected institutions that possess both the gender lens to identify the unequal barriers faced by women and the commitment to proactively democratizing opportunities for all. Through ongoing partnerships with the Australian and U.S. governments, CIPE is implementing a cutting-edge women’s economic empowerment program in a country where women face daunting obstacles. To help create a broader “entrepreneurial ecosystem,” CIPE is operating the Women’s Business Resource Centre (WBRC) in Port Moresby, working with PNG universities to integrate entrepreneurship into formal curriculum, and providing technical assistance and advocacy trainings to women’s business organizations.
To support the CIPE PNG Grant Program, GBSN is organizing a workshop that includes three interactive modules designed to explore mini-case studies completed by GBSN based on the work of its member schools that are relevant to the small grant projects of Papua New Guinea schools.
Program: Company Directors Training and Compliance Workshop
Program Goals:
Program: The Students Entrepreneurship Program (StEP)
Program Goals:
Program: Innovative Business & Entrepreneurial Ideas Competition
Program Goals:
Three interactive modules will be tailored to illustrate cases with reference to the small grant project offered by the CIPE team to its partners. Each of the mini-case studies will serve as examples from GBSN Member schools of entrepreneurship related programs or activities that are relevant to the PNG projects. The mini-case studies will be provided to workshop participants. GBSN CEO, Dan LeClair will facilitate three interactive modules within a larger workshop umbrella. Each module will feature 1-2 guest speakers representing one of the mini-case examples. The length of each module will be between 60 and 75 minutes.
The three modules will have the following themes:

Research shows that households with access to financial information and investment opportunities have greater economic stability. Yet access isn’t equal: White families are more likely to have advantages when buying a first home, often inheriting money from extended family to get started. Once they own a home, these families see improved credit scores and even greater access to credit. Black and Latino families, however, are less likely to have the savings or assets to provide this kind of support, severely limiting their ability to build similar financial foundations.
In this webinar, our panel of experts in behavioral economics, finance, and affordable housing will explore highlights from the Cornell Institute for Household and Behavioral Finance’s (IBHF) 4th Biennial Household and Finance Symposium and what those findings mean for policy change. They’ll discuss how research and practice can promote more inclusive access to credit, wealth, and financial security for all households.

Over the last decade, emerging markets (EM) increased their share of global economic output by 20%, putting more money into the hands of consumers and businesses. Now, new technologies are empowering EM businesses to drive innovation, local development, and global competition. Agriculture is a case in point: Five of the leading agriculture financial technology (fintech) startups were initially formed to close gaps faced by producers and suppliers in Indonesia, Africa, and Latin America.
In this webinar, we’ll learn how these technologies are disrupting agricultural supply chains for the benefit of all players. Our panel will be moderated by Jinhua Zhao, Ph.D., the David J. Nolan Dean of the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management and will feature Lourdes Casanova of the Cornell SC Johnson School of Business Emerging Markets Institute and Pablo Borquez Schwarzbeck, MBA ’15, CEO and co-founder of agriculture fintech leader ProducePay. Together, they’ll explore how technology innovators are connecting EM suppliers directly to international markets, providing access to the data and financing they need to succeed.
