Bashir Chuma, a native of Tanzania, says that he has learned a great deal from his classmates, who come to Georgia Tech with diverse backgrounds and opinions. "It brings our class discussions to a whole new level. I'm not just learning new material. I'm also learning how to think about the 'big picture' and how my comments and decisions will influence others."
Chuma selected Georgia Tech's Global Executive MBA because technology has created a 'flat' world, which adds a whole new element to the way business is conducted. "In just seconds, I can communicate with business men and women around the globe, so it's imperative to begin viewing business in a global context," he says. Chuma plans to open his own international business consulting firm someday to help more international companies do business in Africa. "Globalization refers to all six continents, and I believe that Africa can play a bigger role in the global marketplace. By combining the tools I'm gaining from this program with my existing knowledge and experience, I will be well equipped to reach my goal."
