Name: Maxwell Clark
Major: BMgmt
Career aspirations: The two main career paths I hope to explore throughout my life are the consulting industry and international business.
Why were you interested in taking the Doing Business in Emerging Markets course?
My primary reason is to be able to expand my horizons and broaden my experience in regards to conducting business internationally. Emerging markets fascinate me because of the extreme differences in the way business is conducted in these countries, as opposed to the Canadian market.
What do you expect to learn from your visit to China?
I expect to learn about cultural differences and about the differences in the way business is conducted in China as opposed to North America.
How do you think this experience will impact your future career?
I believe that this experience will greatly benefit my future career by providing me with valuable information I would never have been able to retrieve solely via the internet. The importance of having your ‘feet on the ground’ in China is stressed by many of the program’s guest speakers.
