"The great studying experience along two extensive wonderful two years, are very much related to the study groups. The mutual commitment, between the team members, the fruitful discussions, sharing of information and knowledge, support and mainly friendship, made the phrase "one for all and all for one" not a cliche, but a reality that the method and the faculty team created. The very meaningful gift the program gave, beyond the intriguing study material, was the connections and friendship created and sustained over time." |

"I had moved back Israel after many years in NY and knew that eventually I would return to the US for my MBA.

"I joined the program aiming to enrich my managerial skills; it didn't take too much to understand that the program’s real added value is the international networking. In my experience, the program had three vertex points: the visit to Evanston, Illinois; the Shanghai, China visit; and the visit of students from other Kellogg partnerships to Israel. The multinational study groups exposed me to different business etiquette. Understanding the differences in the approach to solving common problems has been of great help in my current international business relations" |
