Diversity Spectrum Films will document Georgetown University Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) students as they prepare, conduct, and deliver actual business consulting projects for India-based companies, including Cisco and Infosys, during their Global Management residency module in Bangalore, India.

Spectrum Films will capture the many challenges these corporate executives experience while working on projects in different industries and in different cultural settings. Focus will be given to individuals' and project groups' responses to the demands placed on them to demonstrate diverse business skills, intercultural understanding, and team-based solutions.

As the GEMBA students themselves represent multiple cultures, countries, languages, and points of view, Spectrum Films  will demonstrate diversity in action and challenge often pre-conceived notions of what diversity means. These webisodes will not depict “business tourism”, but give breadth and depth to the real demands of leading, managing, and working in 21st century global businesses.

Interactions among GEMBA students, faculty,  client companies, and host institutions will be highlighted. Can people from very different cultural backgrounds work together smoothly and effectively? What does it truly take to lead in the 21st century?

Spectrum Films will produce webisodes that elucidate the following: (1) implications globalization and global corporate responsibility, (2) cultural differences in management and work styles, (3) differences in business and social life, (4) skills necessary to communicate and negotiate with those from different cultures, (5) application of skills, knowledge, and experience from the classroom to "real-world" business projects and (6) manner in which abilities are tested in team dynamics, strategic analysis, and project management.

Dates: February 4-15, 2009

Location: Bangalore, India
