The journey begins long before stepping foot into the airport. Today we began our preparation for our trip to India. While there are only fifteen students in the class, it is evident that we each have unique experience and interests which guarantees a access to a broad base of knowledge.
There are a number of class deliverables, all of which I'm looking forward to. The basic idea is to become an expert in an industry which operates in India so that when we visit, we are able to gain a deeper understanding of the nuances to conducting business overseas.
We began by looking at Indian culture - or as our professor pointed out, generalizations as our learning experience is based on research, thus is subject to many exceptions. Prior to class, we watched a film called 'Outsourced' in which an American moves to India after his entire department is, you guessed it, outsourced. He encounters many challenges in adapting to his surroundings which led to much class discussion.
I am beyond excited about this trip and learning experience!
Welcome to India
