GLOBIS students visited Chulalongkorn Business School (CBS) for a 3-day study trip in Thailand

GLOBIS University students travelled to Thailand for a 3-day study trip, organized by our program partner Chulalongkorn Business School (CBS). Under the theme “Social Innovation in Thailand”, our students participated in class lectures, workshops, and field visits, as well as extracurricular activities to make the most out of their time in Thailand.

23 students from both the English and Japanese MBA Program joined the CBS Visit Program. We also had the opportunity to visit Full-time MBA alumni, Adisara Zen and learn about her family business, Siam Hands, which is one of the leading apparel manufacturers in Thailand.
