CHALLENGE:

Project

Power is a product of history, circumstance, and opportunity. This challenge allows you to learn about the historic and contemporary realities of economic, technologic, legal, educational, and infrastructural inequalities, and devise effective, ethical, and profitable responses.

You'll research the differences between specific emerging markets and the G20 economies to propose what national and international policies would make a fundamental change, remove inequalities, and encourage growth that benefits all parties.

Politics is about how your party can help others; business is how your company can. At Hult, you learn how to bridge the two.
