This program benefits the economies of the countries of its clients and partner business schools in several ways.  First, the student projects directly aid the clients in entering the U.S. (and eventually other) markets.  Indeed, over $400+ million a year in additional revenue for Israeli clients can be attributed to projects undertaken by this program. 

Second, MBA students in the partner countries are educated about global and U.S. markets through direct participation in the consulting projects and through their participation with Wharton MBA students and faculty.  Like Wharton students, MBA students in the partner countries hone their skills in applying concepts, methods and paradigms presented in their MBA programs. 

Third, many of our partner business schools are rapidly developing their MBA programs, and their faculty and administrators work in program development and teaching with Wharton faculty. 

Fourth, clients receive consulting reports and advice as well as executive education to enhance their international expansion.

Fifth, Wharton students work closely with clients' managers, students, and faculty from the partner country, often forming strong personal as well as professional relationships.
