In early 2006, the University of Michigan-Dearborn College of Business (UMD-COB) 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 COB faculty and MBA students with international consulting opportunities, will enhance COB’s research capabilities, will strengthen the international business curriculum offered by the College to both graduate and undergraduate students, and will further enhance the COB’s ties to the Detroit Metro area’s business community.
The College of Business 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-COB.
