In early 2006, the University of Michigan-Dearborn School of Management (UMD-SOM) launched a strategy to secure grant funding for economic/business development projects in emerging markets, and in the Middle East in particular. The grants will provide SOM faculty and MBA students with international consulting opportunities, will enhance SOM’s research capabilities, will strengthen the international business curriculum offered by the school to both graduate and undergraduate students, and will further enhance the SOM’s ties to the Detroit Metro area’s business community.
The School of Management was recently awarded two grants from the U.S. Department of State to promote private sector development in Middle Eastern countries. The first will promote entrepreneurship and small business growth in Yemen, and the second will strengthen business and economics education in Libya.
Barbara Peitsch, formerly the Director of Business Development at the William Davidson Institute, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, has been hired to manage the two projects under Dr. Aaron Ahuvia, Director of International Programming for Europe and Emerging Markets at UMD-SOM.
