#108 - Women in Business

Women are incredibly impactful leaders, but there is still a lot of work left to do to open the doors of opportunity for women throughout the business world. Today, women make up less than 5 percent of CEO jobs at fortune 500 companies – despite mountains of research and evidence showing that having more women in leadership roles leads to better business performance.

In this episode, we'll hear from an expert on why it's important to have women in these roles and what has been holding that progress back, we'll hear a bit about how men and allies can help, and we'll hear from two students working hard to empower future women leaders while they’re pursuing their MBAs.

#110 - A Most Unusual Semester

This past term for first-year MBA students at the Ross School of Business was anything but typical.

They’ve spent the past seven weeks working on projects for real companies and organizations as part of the required Multidisciplinary Action Projects course at Michigan Ross. They’ve traveled all across the country and around the world to meet with executives, conduct research, and immerse themselves in the work. It’s the only class they’ve taken this term, and these projects have been their sole focus -- 400 students working with 74 different companies in 25 countries.

In this episode, we talk with five of those students as they finish up their projects.

We’ll hear from:

William Stockert, whose team is working directly with the CEO of the
luxury brand Shinola to expand into a new product line
Claire Fletcher, who is in India, helping GE Power bring affordable electricity to parts of the country;
Caroline Vidal Netto, who is working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help them expand the number of wishes granted in a given year;
Parker Caldwell, who is working with a startup to bring life-saving healthcare technology to patients in India; and
Ignacio Calvo, who is helping IBM explore business possibilities within their cloud computing enterprise.
