Center for Global Business & Economy
About the Center for Global Business & Economy
The Center for Global Business and the Economy (CGBE) is a division of the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University that emphasizes research, teaching, and course development resources on global business issues. Founded in 2004, the center investigates the increasing complexities of global-scale business: running operations across dispersed geographies, in a variety of cultural settings, and under different economic, legal and political institutions. Given these challenges and the increasing scale of international business, CGBE aims to equip students with the mindset and knowledge required to manage effectively in the global environment. CGBE will host the 2010 Innovator’s Symposium in collaboration with the Center for Responsible Travel.
About the Stanford Graduate School of Business
Located between San Francisco and San Jose in the heart of Silicon Valley, Stanford University is recognized as one of the world's leading research and teaching institutions.
Leland and Jane Stanford founded the University to "promote the public welfare by exercising an influence on behalf of humanity and civilization." Stanford opened its doors in 1891, and more than a century later, it remains dedicated to finding solutions to the great challenges of the day and to preparing our students for leadership in today's complex world.
The mission of the Stanford Graduate School of Business is to create ideas that deepen and advance understanding of management and with those ideas to develop innovative, principled, and insightful leaders who change the world.
The Business School is a resource for the entire University in understanding the art and science of successful managed organizations.
