It?s Tuesday and time again for our weekly in-depth look at the specific programs which differentiate the leading MBA programs from their peers. This week we?re taking a peak into the Clear Admit School Guide to Berkeley / Haas to get a better understanding of its International Business Development course.

?International Business Development (IBD) is one of the most popular electives at Haas. Limited to an enrollment of 120 students per year, the course sends small teams of students to consult at client sites around the world for three weeks each summer. The program is open only to rising second-year students, who must apply during Spring Semester of their first year.

?Students selected for participation in IBD are assigned to project teams in January of the first year and work with their teams in the spring semester to conduct background research and analysis. Following the end of first-year classes in mid-May, each team spends a dedicated three-week period on-site with the client, completing such projects as preparing business plans, conducting market analyses, developing marketing or entry strategies and recommending operational changes. The sponsor organizations are largely regional companies, government agencies and non-profits, including the Wildlife Conservation Society, the Rapa Nui Heritage Foundation, Andean Health and Development, the Government of Macedonia and Vietnam National University.

?Although each IBD project should ideally be completed and delivered to the clients by the end of the three weeks on-site, teams may in practice need to conduct follow-up work during Fall Semester. To provide students with an
opportunity to share their findings and discuss their experiences, IBD participants convene at a dedicated conference held during the fall semester to present their projects to the full class in case format. Upon successful completion of the Spring Semester preparation sequence, the in-country project and the Fall Semester presentations, students receive three elective credits towards their Haas degrees.?
