"The Broad EMBA has turbo-charged my work and overall business perspective. The focus in class on business combinations and international activities was timely. As a result, I am contributing more effectively to alliances the firm has pursued to compete with international mega firms, including a membership in the China Alliance. Our objective is to actively participate in the wave of investment by U.S. companies doing business in Asia and be well-positioned for continued investment of Asian companies here."
Michigan State University Management Education Center
Troy, Michigan
Since its original dedication in 1975, the Management Education Center's mission has remained the same - to serve as a resource for the Southeast Michigan business community. The building has approximately 25,000 square feet of wireless Internet meeting space, with nine conference rooms, including two large amphitheaters and a 400-person capacity auditorium, in addition to a large, newly- remodeled dining room and ample reception space.
The Broad School’s Management Education Center owes its existence to the foresight and generosity of the Greater Detroit Management Education Center Foundation — a group of corporate leaders, university officials and Executive MBA alumni. As a result of their fund raising efforts, Chrysler donated the 20-acre site on the corner of Crooks Road and Square Lake Road, General Motors supplied the engineering and design work through its Argonaut Realty Division, and Ford Motor Co. gave a large cash donation. Other major companies such as IBM and BorgWarner just to name a few, made significant contributions to the Center's technology, equipment, furnishings and décor. Upon completion, the foundation donated the building to Michigan State University's Eli Broad Graduate School of Management.
