In the international week, held from October 17 to 21, EGADE Business School offered, at its Santa Fe site in Mexico City, the module Strategic Innovation and Management in Emerging Markets: Latin America.

Throughout the week, participants explored subjects with a focus on Mexico and Latin America, such as innovation (in processes, brands, and corporations), business culture, protocol and etiquette, the economic and social outlook, and the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
