One of the defining aspects of a student’s time at ChicagoBooth is the freedom to experiment and try new things. We support you in takingrisks to explore past what is immediately at your fingertips. It is part of thestudent experience that is nurtured (and shared) by our faculty—and can lead toonce-in-a-lifetime opportunities for students and professors alike.
This past summer, one of those rare opportunities arose fora group of students who wanted to better understand what it means to start,manage, and grow a business in Southeast Asia.
“This was very much an experiment… to take a team of studentshalfway around the globe to explore an emerging market first-hand,” explainsprofessor Jean-PierreDubé, who seized the chance to lead the trip that would usher 13 Booth studentsonto plantations, into factories, through boardroom doors, and in front ofheads of state for a learning experience of a lifetime.
Take a look at what our students and professor Dubé found ontheir insightful trip to Indonesia.
