Global Impact and Connections Our mission is to provide a transformational educational experience to exceptional and culturally diverse students, enabling them to become principled leaders of global companies and public institutions throughout the world.

Our curriculum and programs, faculty, and student body have all been chosen to give you a global perspective on successfully managing business risks and opportunities around the world. Further, graduates leave IBS with an appreciation of the critical role that ethical business practices play in society.

2

That economy has changed beyond recognition in recent years. Our emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship will help students acquire the tools they need to explore new opportunities in emerging sectors, such as clean technology and the life sciences. And, with its Brandeis roots, IBS is well attuned to the increasing demand on businesses for responsibility, accountability and respect for the environment.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN At Brandeis International Business School (IBS), we educate students seeking to thrive in the rapidly changing global economy. We prepare exceptional individuals to become responsible leaders of global companies and public institutions throughout the world.This goal is reflected in the selection of our faculty, the design of our curriculum and programs, and the composition of our student body. All contribute to a perspective on successfully managing business opportunities and risks across cultures.

Our faculty includes leading experts in global finance and economics, many of whom consult regularly with corporations and governments around the world. Our four degree programs address the complex challenges decision-makers face in varied business and policy-making environments. The student body comes from over 60 countries, ensuring that the content in our classrooms is enriched with the experience of peers from across the globe.

We provide a rigorous and relevant education.

The teaching of each of the School’s disciplines — business, economic policy, and finance — embodies the academic excellence that has come to be expected of Brandeis University.

At the same time, we go to great effort to ensure that, at every point in the learning process, meaningful connections are made with current real-world issues in the global economy.

At IBS, students have direct access to some of the world’s leading academics. In addition, through our vibrant centers and institutes, leaders from the world of business frequently visit campus to share their personal perspectives and participate in the learning process. We have also established partnerships with prestigious universities overseas that allow our students to engage with the business practices and networks of other countries.

According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, IBS offers one of the world’s top 100 full-time MBA programs. You can understand why the School has achieved this recognition by reading further in this catalog, by going to our website (www.brandeis.edu/global), or by visiting our campus.

“ My IBS degree gives me the ability to shape the finance world from a social entrepreneur perspective.”

FORM NETWORKS THAT BRIDGE diverse CULTURES

Joshua Mogy, USA, MBA, 2010 Why did you decide to study at IBS and what was the most surprising thing you found when you got there? I decided to study at IBS because I believe the world’s direction is going toward a tighter and tighter global economy. I wanted to form networks throughout the world and really understand how to work with people from everywhere, not just from different cultures within the United States.

As for surprises, the sense of community was quite different than my experiences in New York.

Because of its small school nature, the Brandeis IBS community is a lot closer than I expected it to be compared to a large city.

If you could do anything to change the world with your IBS degree what would you do? I have been exploring ways to help emerging market firms get to the next level through non-profit organizations.

My IBS degree gives me the ability to shape the finance world from a social entrepreneur perspective.

What is your favorite memory of IBS to date?

My favorite moment at IBS was being introduced to Reuben Mark, the former Chairman of ColgatePalmolive, after a presentation. This was my first experience that demonstrated how powerful networking really could be.

Small world.

Huge opportunity.

Globalization permeates all aspects of business, economics and finance. Creating new markets. New business processes. New policies. New environmental priorities. New opportunities. New challenges.

Helping students develop the skills to thrive in this dynamic, global marketplace is our mission at the Brandeis International Business School (IBS).

At IBS, we combine our proven strength in global finance and economics scholarship and research with exciting international exchanges. The result is a learning experience unique in business education: international in scope, intimate in scale, intellectually rigorous, and designed for success in the global economy.

Focus on global business, finance and economics At the heart of the IBS education is our specialized focus on international finance and economics.

The curriculum is challenging and sophisticated, emphasizing international capital markets, business strategy, and economic policy.

Most students spend at least one semester living and studying outside the United States, through our network of academic exchanges with 19 of the world’s leading universities of business and economics. Many students supplement this experience with international internships. More than one-third of IBS graduates work overseas, aided by a worldwide network of Brandeis alumni.

IBS is also an enthusiastic supporter of the Fulbright Academic Exchange Program sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State. For Fall 2009, 25 Fulbright Scholars from 12 countries worldwide will study in the MBA and MAief programs at IBS.

Environment of excellence IBS is selective, admitting just 175 students a year — ensuring an intimate, personal educational experience. Our degree programs are academically rigorous and intellectually challenging. The IBS faculty is exceptional and includes world-renowned authorities with diverse research interests — from corporate finance and marketing to intellectual property and Asian economies. IBS degree programs have been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International, a highly respected, global accrediting body for business schools.

The IBS faculty includes leading experts in global finance and economics — many of whom consult regularly with corporations and governments around the globe.

International experience IBS is truly international, with students from more than 60 nations and faculty from around the world.

Students hear a multitude of languages and work in project teams with peers from every continent.

Our Centers and Institutes The intellectual life of the IBS — both in and out the classroom—is enriched by its four centers and institutes, each of which focuses on a particular area of importance in the global economy.

The Asper Center for Global Entrepreneurship, dedicated to understanding key trends affecting entrepreneurship across cultures and borders.

The Rosenberg Institute of Global Finance, addressing key issues in international finance through research and insights from business and policy leaders.

The Perlmutter Institute for Global Business Leadership, preparing IBS students for leadership positions in the global corporation of the future.

The Asia-Pacific Center for Economics and Business, focused on research, teaching and outreach on business and economic issues in the Asia Pacific region.

Under their auspices, IBS brings to campus prominent business and government leaders, hosts conferences and seminars, develops new course offerings, grants student fellowships, and supports faculty research.

Real world.

Real experience.

At IBS, learning is not limited to theoretical concepts.

Keeping education connected to the real world of business and policy is an integral part of the IBS experience.

The Case Study Method, which forms the basis for many IBS courses, brings reality into the classroom.

Students wrestle with important issues that are shaping economies, industries, and governments around the world. This approach challenges students to think harder and more creatively about complex problems.

In the process, students develop the skills necessary to succeed in the global business environment.

Turning with the world — The Global Green MBA The world of business is continually evolving — and so is IBS. Each year, approximately 15% of the IBS curriculum changes to keep pace with new realities.

New courses focus on global developments, often as they unfold, to keep learning timely and relevant.

For example, Investing in Energy considers factors affecting the supply, demand, and price of energy in global markets. It examines the volatility, risk and uncertainty of energy markets over the past forty years, and the changing role of key players in the market.

The course managing the triple Bottom line explores how companies are modifying their business strategies to leverage new opportunities in the social and environmental arenas in order to strengthen the traditional bottom line that relates to financial success.

We have designed new courses addressing issues students will face in their professional lives, including Managing Global Human Capital, which offers students a framework for understanding their future roles and responsibilities in managing human capital in multinational firms. Corporate Governance examines how individual goals and external pressures influence individuals, and how their decisions impact a corporation’s failure or success.

Last year marked the debut of our innovative MBA in Socially Responsible Business. This exciting, new MBA concentration builds on our strength in international business and economics, while preparing students to integrate social, environmental, and financial goals. The program includes a project course that enables students to pursue a consulting or field project on a topic of their choice.

Beyond the classroom At IBS, learning is not limited to the classroom.

Students have a range of opportunities for rich learning experiences — both on-campus and around the world.

For example: + international real estate allows students to look at the analysis, financing, and management of income-producing real property in various overseas markets. Case discussion allows students to explore how developers and investors identify projects, determine value, and design marketing strategies. + world financial centers is an intensive, weeklong course held in a leading global financial hub, exploring its markets, institutions, and current economic and political conditions. Recent programs have visited London, Prague, Istanbul, Warsaw and Madrid. + distinguished speakers from the private and public sectors visit IBS frequently to explore vital areas of global business and economics. In the past year, we brought more than 70 executives and thought leaders to campus to share their perspectives in our speaker forums. + conferences — IBS hosts conferences and symposia on timely topics of global significance, from the environment to the impact of aging on financial markets and institutions. Our annual Forum on Business, Ethics, and Society brings together speakers with unique perspectives on business conduct, ethics, and culture.

IBS Graduation Gathering

Student Discussion in the Asper Suite

exchange ideas with a ukrainian economist Why did you decide to study at IBS and what was the most surprising thing you found when you got there? A Fulbright Program Officer recommended Brandeis, since several students from Ukraine had studied there and were very happy with the school. I have never regretted my decision.

“ After studying at a school like IBS with the highest standards of academic integrity, I understand this must be the highest priority in education and government.�

Iuliia Stelmakh, Ukraine, MAief, 2010

Most surprising for me was the flexibility of the program and the ability to build your own curriculum. Students are allowed to take classes even from other departments and schools. I took History of Cinema, which I could never study back home as an Economics student.

If you could do anything to change the world with your IBS degree what would you do? Being from a former Soviet country, I realize the biggest problem of most countries in the developing world is corruption and bureaucracy. After studying at a school like IBS with the highest standards of academic integrity, I understand this must be the highest priority in education and government.

I would like to promote this principle back home and wherever I work in future.

What is your favorite memory of IBS to date?

The Dale Carnegie was an outstanding twoday seminar designed to improve one’s public speaking skills. The coach has you tell short stories to a group of students, then reviews a recording with you and offers comments on what to improve. It was fun and we really got to know each other.

www.brandeis.edu/global 5

“ The varied backgrounds of IBS students add a practical dimension to classes, as they illustrate lectures and theories with real-world situations.”

Kwabena Adade, Ghana, MBA, 2010

SHARE KNOWLEDGE WITH AN AFRICAN BUSINESS LEADER Why did you decide to study at IBS and what was the most surprising thing you found when you got there?

I chose IBS because of its emphasis on practice and theory of management concepts, as well the atmosphere of partnership, shared knowledge, tolerance, and thoughtful decision-making among students of diverse backgrounds. What I find most surprising is the importance placed on leadership.

Leadership presupposes a resource base of knowledge. At IBS, students take advantage of a variety of learning resources, including a broad spectrum of professional, national and cultural affiliations among the faculty and colleagues.

If you could do anything to change the world with your IBS degree what would you do? My IBS degree will enable me to manage the interplay of governments and international financial institutions in securing the financing required to achieve the Millennium Development Goals over the long term. These efforts have been hampered by several factors, including lack of adequate funding. This is very relevant to my career objective.

What is your favorite memory of IBS to date?

My favorite memories are the experiences with the diversity of students’ backgrounds at IBS. This provides a challenging, enriching and rewarding academic setting. The varied academic and experiential backgrounds of IBS students add a practical dimension to classes, as students illustrate lectures and theories with real-world situations.

Cultural diversity.

International experience.

The international character of IBS shapes every facet of student life. The student body represents more than 60 nations. More than one-third of IBS graduates choose to live and work outside the United States. This cultural diversity generates a dynamic interchange that is a vital feature of the Brandeis experience.

Internationally Renowned Faculty IBS faculty members include respected scholars with interests that span the globe. Most have trained and worked internationally, and many act as advisors to a variety of international organizations, from the World Bank and the United Nations to international companies and governments throughout Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

The Semester Abroad Unlike typical professional degree programs, the IBS MAief and MBA programs require international experience and language proficiency for graduation.

Students without such experience usually spend a semester of study abroad at one of our 19 partner universities of business, economics, and international affairs. The semester abroad adds depth to the educational experience, offering students:

+ Access to an extraordinary wealth of courses in subjects that cannot be covered in depth at any single institution + Professional and personal networks that endure well beyond graduation

Overseas Internships Many IBS students supplement their academic experience with international internships, often coordinated with the semester abroad. Students have worked in multinational corporations, banks, investment firms, and embassies from Beijing to Buenos Aires.

Language Proficiency Because one language is not enough in today’s global marketplace, IBS requires full-time master’s degree students to demonstrate proficiency in a major language other than English. Although prior training in a second language is desirable, students can achieve proficiency during their Brandeis years.

A Worldwide Alumni Network IBS alumni offer students support and hospitality around the world, as do the many international students who come to Brandeis through exchange partnerships. Overseas graduates consult with students in person and by email, offering career advice, helping to identify international opportunities and hosting students overseas.

Vibrant campus.

World-class location.

IBS offers students an exceptional lifestyle combination: a stimulating campus community located just 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the historic city of Boston.

Set on more than 200 rolling acres in the Boston suburb of Waltham, the Brandeis University campus has a state-of-the-art library, one of the largest multipurpose indoor athletic facilities in the Northeast, and a wide range of multicultural and international student clubs, activities, and services.

Brandeis is located in the heart of the Route 128 corridor, one of the country’s major concentrations of technology and enterprise. Affordable residential neighborhoods are within walking distance. Waltham’s central business district has outstanding restaurants offering cuisine from every corner of the world.

Urban Excitement Blending history with modern excitement, Boston is one of America’s greatest cities and one of the world’s leading centers of higher education, home to eight major universities and more than 250,000 students. As a major center of finance, technology, and consulting, Boston offers career opportunities after graduation.

Student Services The Office of Student Services helps ensure that your personal, social, and academic experience at IBS meets your expectations. The office helps with a variety of student needs — whether they involve housing, health insurance, transportation, or negotiating our university systems.

Once accepted, you can connect to our online through “IBS Talk” where you can communicate with IBS peers from around the world. Access to second-year students can be invaluable when seeking answers to practical questions.

To ease your transition to IBS, the Orientation program offers opportunities to socialize with your peers and participate in academic planning with faculty and administration. Informative presentations highlight career services, visa workshops, internship options, advising, study abroad panels, and other important subjects.

We have also established a new Leadership Fellow Program to empower second year MAief and MBA students with leadership and peer mentoring skills to assist first year students with their academic, cultural, and social adjustment to IBS.

IBS is also close to Cambridge, with its academic ambience, its cafés and bookstores, and its picturesque walkways along the Charles River.

Public transportation links Brandeis to Cambridge and Boston.

“ It is almost impossible not to learn something surprising and enriching every day at IBS. It’s amazing.”

combine social awareness with business goals

Tanya Neselir, Turkey, BA/MA, 2011 Why did you decide to study at IBS and what was the most surprising thing you found when you got there? I attended Brandeis University as an undergraduate and got to know the professors and the environment in IBS, so I knew this was an opportunity that I could not miss. IBS has so much to offer in terms of academics, career planning and diversity — everything I could want from a business school. It is very surprising how many different languages you hear while walking around the school.

If you could do anything to change the world with your IBS degree what would you do? I would use my IBS degree to create awareness about the social and environmental challenges facing the world and help create sustainable businesses globally. It is essential that businesses address social issues as much as they are concerned about financial goals, and I want to play a role to make this happen.

What is your favorite memory of IBS to date?

My favorite memories include learning from my friends and my professors. It is almost impossible not to learn something surprising and enriching every day at IBS. It’s amazing.

Intellectual capital.

The IBS faculty represents an impressive stock of intellectual capital. Their wide-ranging expertise — from global financial markets to business alliances and trade policy — is complemented by research at the leading edge of international business, finance, and economics. The IBS faculty also includes adjunct professors with leadership roles in major business and financial organizations.

Catherine L. Mann joined the faculty of IBS after more than 20 years working in policy institutions and think tanks in Washington DC, including the Institute for International Economics, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the President’s Council of Economic Advisers at the White House, and the World Bank.

Her current research focuses on two related topics: information technology and services trade in global markets, and the US trade deficit and the dollar.

Alliance strategy and management is the specialty of Benjamin Gomes-Casseres, having researched the topic for 20 years, taught it to MBAs and executives, and consulted with major companies in the US and abroad. His most recent co-authored book, Mastering Alliance Strategy (Jossey Bass, 2003), is a comprehensive guide to the field. His earlier book, The Alliance Revolution (Harvard University Press, 1996), pioneered the analysis of alliance constellations, common today in many industries. His research has been featured in the Financial Times, and cited in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and in industry and academic journals.

Peter Petri studies Asia’s burgeoning trade, investment and financial links-with itself and with the world economy. He has held visiting professorships in China and Japan, advised governments and international institutions throughout the region, including the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the World Bank and the United Nations. He currently works with Asia’s new institutions of economic cooperation. He was the principal consultant for ADB’s 2008 Emerging Asian Regionalism flagship study, Petri advises the Association for Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and is an expert for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation’s (APEC) “peer reviews” of national economic policies.

Trading, the internal architecture of financial markets, and minute-to-minute price movements are the focus of Carol Osler’s work. Using rigorous empirical analysis — much of it conducted at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York — she has uncovered fascinating regularities: orders tend to be placed more frequently at whole numbers, tens and fives, rather than in between. At times her work challenges academic wisdom and confirms the stories of traders; for example, she finds evidence for “support levels”— at certain points, prices tend to bounce up or fall steeply, but seldom remain put.

Productivity in the changing international environment is the subject of much of Gary Jefferson’s research, which focuses on China. Jefferson edits several scholarly journals related to the development of China, and is researching the relationship between changes in governance and R&D capacity. Grants from the Luce Foundation, the National Science Foundation, and the World Bank have supported his work. Together with colleagues in the U.S. and China, he conducts a quadrennial survey of Chinese industrial productivity.

Organizational behavior is the focus of Andy Molinsky’s creative research program, which he began at Harvard, continued at the University of Southern California, and now conducts at Brandeis.

How do people in multicultural organizations interpret each other’s attitudes, behaviors, and nonverbal cues? How do people — doctors, police officers, managers — perform “necessary evils,” the difficult, but necessary, tasks that cause pain to others? His work is innovative in method as well as content. Graduate students are often involved in his projects, as both analysts and subjects.

Management of innovation and technology and entrepreneurship are at the heart of Preeta Banerjee’s research and teaching.

Dr. Banerjee is a recent recipient of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Advanced Technology Program Award for her work on the role of human capital in technology development teams. From consulting with Silicon Valley high-tech new ventures, to her doctoral work at Wharton, to her faculty positions at University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign to now Brandeis, she has explored how individuals, technology, the firm, and the industry evolve in the life sciences and clean tech industries. www.brandeis.edu/global 11

Degree Programs IBS offers four degree programs in international business, economics, and finance. + The MA in International Economics and Finance (MAief) (Lemberg Program) is designed to develop analytical expertise in international finance, economics, and business for students planning careers in finance or economic policy. +T he mba delivers a business administration education with a strong international focus and a solid analytical foundation that prepares graduates for leadership in international companies and public institutions. The program is intended for students with several years of work experience.

The Master’s degree programs offer excellent preparation for positions in financial institutions, multinational companies, and government agencies. All three Master’s programs: + Provide a more international focus than a typical MBA — and more work in the business and economic aspects of international relations than a typical Master’s degree in international affairs. + Span the traditional disciplinary boundaries of business, economics, finance, and international affairs, emphasizing technical skills, conceptual perspectives, and international experience. + Emphasize a global perspective with courses that take the global economy as an analytical starting point: none is an “internationalized” version of a traditional business course.

+ The ms/Finance is a part-time evening or 12 month full-time program for working professionals seeking to develop skills in financial theory and analysis with an international focus.

+ Enable students to enrich their education with elective courses, choosing from more than 50 courses in international business, economics, and finance, and dozens of courses in other departments at Brandeis.

+ The

PhD prepares students for careers in research, consulting, university-level teaching, and policy making in the fields of international trade, finance, business, and development/ transition economics.

+ Allow students to pursue specialized interests through a Master’s project involving a short thesis or analytical report on work completed during an internship, or through areas of concentration in International Business, International Economic Policy, and International Finance.

international issues exciting and who plan a career that involves sophisticated analysis in finance, business, and/or economic policy. Distinguished by its analytical rigor, it is also timely and practical, designed to launch students on careers in the international marketplace. Compared to the MBA program, the MAief emphasizes the technical and analytical skills needed for business and policy making in global markets over managerial decision making.

International study and language mastery are an integral part of our MAief program.

The MAief program focuses on developing expertise for careers in: + Global finance + Trade + Economic policy + Consulting or other related fields

+ Students may fulfill the international study requirement prior to attending IBS, or through a semester of study abroad at one of our partner institutions. + Students who do not already have mastery of a language other than English may fulfill this requirement at Brandeis or during the semester abroad.

Carol Osler Director, Lemberg MAief Program

Flexible Curriculum More than 50 electives are offered, including courses at the analytical leading edge of finance and economics — for example, in risk analysis or investment decision making. Students may also take hands-on courses in important areas of practice — such as country risk analysis and hedgefund management — taught by senior professionals in these disciplines.

Trading, the internal architecture of financial markets, and minute-to-minute price movements are the focus of Professor Osler’s work. At times her work challenges academic wisdom and confirms the stories of traders; for example, she finds evidence that “support and resistance levels” — prices at which trends tend to stop or even reverse — really do help forecast returns.

Lemberg MAief at a Glance The Lemberg Program is named for Lucille and Samuel Lemberg. Their daughter, Suzanne Usdan, was instrumental in establishing the program.

Distinctive Specialties For students with particular goals and interests, the MBA offers a concentration in one of four areas of study related to the global economy: + International Finance + International Economic Policy + International Business + Socially Responsible Business – Global Green MBA

International Experience International study and language mastery are an integral part of our MBA program.

The MBA is intended for students with relevant work experience beyond the Bachelor’s degree who intend to pursue business careers in international organizations, including: + Multinational enterprises + Smaller firms operating across borders + Consulting firms serving global businesses

+ Students may fulfill the international study requirement prior to attending IBS, or through a semester of study abroad at one of our partner institutions. + Students who do not already have mastery of a language other than English may fulfill this requirement at Brandeis or during the semester abroad.

MSF Master of Science in Finance The MSF program is an innovative degree designed to help financial professionals advance their careers through comprehensive training in global financial markets, financial theory, analysis, and strategy.

Flexible Program Designed to accommodate the schedules of busy professionals, the MSF can be pursued part-time or full-time. Classes are held in the evenings, and a book allowance (for part-time students only) is included in the tuition. Full time students may also take classes during the day.

Rigorous Education The MSF program offers rigorous training in the quantitative and analytical tools of modern finance.

There is a strong emphasis on international applications and current financial practice, as well as theory.

Part-time students typically take one or two courses per semester and complete the program in 18 months to two years. Full-time students take four classes per semester and two during summer school, completing the program in 12 months.

Held in collaboration with prestigious academic partner institutions, the workshop counts as an elective and is closely integrated with the MSF curriculum.
