GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The TRIUM program is grounded in the philosophy that senior-level global executives must think and perform like entrepreneurs. This is most evident during the global modules and in-between distance learning, where students benefit from a combined theoretical and entrepreneurial approach. In each of the different modules, participants work collaboratively with faculty and peers through finance, risk management, operations and marketing challenges to arrive at innovative solutions to complex global issues. It is an ongoing, seamless blend of theory and application that has real-world relevance for senior executives.

The TRIUM final term project best reflects the culmination of this applied global entrepreneurial approach. This project is a highly collaborative exercise that gives participants the opportunity to apply the concepts and techniques learned through the program to a unique, self-selected global business initiative. Participants create self-formed groups that identify a strategic global issue and deliver a fully worked-out business plan. The group project is presented to a board of directors consisting of TRIUM alumni, professors and academic directors during the final module.

The TRIUM final term projects are often quite entrepreneurial in their design and specially developed by participants to address global issues. Past projects have touched on a myriad of subjects, from alternative biofuel distribution networks to private equity ventures in emerging markets. Several examples of recent ventures follow:

PARENTSTROIKA

is a long-term investment project for the creation of high-quality aged care in Russia, something that has never, until now, been addressed in this nation.

GREENESYS™

is a consulting firm that provides affordable, midsize equipment and solutions to under-resourced rural farmers so they can generate energy locally for their own needs while creating an additional source of income from the surplus.

GROWTHTEK SYSTEM LLC

is an agri-food nutrition company specializing in growth stimulant technologies designed to deliver farmed fish to market faster, more profitably and with minimal environmental impact.
