The Brazilians Are Coming! The Brazilians Are Coming! Brazilian Executive MBA Students Arrive at Toronto's Rotman School.
TORONTO - The first of four classes of Brazilian Executive MBA students to
study this year at the Rotman School of Management arrives Sunday in
Toronto. The students, all from the Business School Sào Paulo for
International Management (BSP), are enrolled in "Managing In a Global
Economy", a customized 10-day executive education program designed to teach
North American perspectives on global management.
This is the fifth year the Brazilian students have come to Rotman to
participate in the special program, which is taught by a combination of
Rotman School faculty and outstanding business leaders. As part of their
learning experience in Canada, the Brazilians visitors will visit some of
Canada's most successful corporations, providing direct exposure to North
American business operations. The first class has scheduled visits to
Nortel, Canada Life and Dominion Securities.
"With the unprecedented pace of change occurring in today's global economy,
managers who are able to anticipate needs, develop sound strategies and
implement them smoothly are essential players in sustaining competitive
advantage. The Rotman School is a leader in providing innovative programs
that provide the skills necessary for success in the global economy, "says
Michael Hartmann, director of Rotman's Executive Development Programs. "We
are pleased that our exciting partnership with BSP continues to grow. Not
only do Brazilian students benefit from their experience in this program as
they are able to bring the real-world experience of the North American
context back to their firms, the entire Rotman community is enriched by the
interaction with our guests, who provide new and exciting perspectives for
us as well."
The Business School Sào Paulo for International Management (BSP) offers
internationally recognized MBA, Executive MBA and Executive Development
Programs. The BSP Executive MBA is a one-year degree taught in English for
Brazilian executives. The 10-day Rotman program is an integral part of the
degree. The next group from BSP arrives in Toronto June 20 and two more
groups are scheduled for later this year.

education with a long-standing international reputation for teaching and
research excellence. In addition to programs for students including the
