The Dividends Show is a monthly program dedicated to bringing you all the latest news and information from MSU's College of Business. Each episode gives you an inside look at the College's programs and events, history, faculty, students, and alumni.
In the latest episode of the Dividends Show, host Jeffrey Rupp speaks with Assistant Professor of Management Dr. Erik Markin who discusses the importance of international experiences for business students. He shares insights from a recent study abroad trip to Italy, emphasizing how it broadened students' perspectives on business practices, particularly in areas like relationship-building and family-centric operations.
The episode also touches on the value of interdisciplinary collaborations, real-world consulting projects for MBA students, and examples of Markin's class projects, such as analyzing the demand for pickleball courts in the community and addressing supply chain issues for a local hot sauce company. Through these discussions, The Dividends Show highlights the practical application of business concepts and the diverse learning opportunities available to students at Mississippi State University.
