Testimonials
Jon Chretien:
The study tour gave me something that I
would not have been able to pick up from a classroom or a textbook, namely hands-on
experience. It is more than just a lecture tour where you are crammed into a
classroom all morning and evening. In 17 days, I had the opportunity to visit
companies from fields as varied as information technology, engineering, and
advertising. Each technical visit gave me further insight into how business is done
in Europe, and how European companies conform to the rest of the world. Yet,
the learning does not merely take place in a meeting room, rather it continues when you
explore each individual city and interact with their respective cultures. One day
you may be riding the tube (subway) in London, the next you may be negotiating T-shirt
prices in Prague. When you begin to understand the culture, you then begin to
comprehend the mentality of the corporate work-force in Europe, allowing for an easier way
in which to build working and personal relationships. What you bring back with you
to the United States is what you put into the tour while you are traveling.
