The MBAEC Business Model

Our model is structured around three contributing groups:

• MBA graduates with an average of seven years of work experience who temporarily forgo lucrative post-MBA salaries for the opportunity to serve year-long assignments as volunteer business advisors strengthening institutions, enterprises and entrepreneurs in developing nations and emerging economies;
• Consortium of 52 of the top U.S. business schools that manage the recruitment, screening and nomination of recent graduates for assignments in emerging markets around the world; and
• Funding/Partner organizations that provide the financial support, scopes of work and project deliverables for the year-long assignments.
  

The MBAEC Advantage

Experience and Impact

Since 1990, over 1000 MBAEC Advisors have served year-long assignments in over 35 countries and have strengthened more than 4000 institutions, businesses, entrepreneurs and government agencies.

Commitment to Quality

MBAEC provides customized recruitment of advisors with targeted skill sets based on project-specific scopes of work and deliverables.

Consortium

Partnering with the MBAEC provides recognition and access to resources from our consortium of 52 of the top U.S. business schools that assist in the recruitment, screening and nomination of advisors.

Program Management

MBAEC programs are managed and supported by experienced international economic development professionals who manage administrative and logistical needs of advisors from recruitment through assignment completion.

Leadership Development

Historically, 50% of MBAEC advisors stay in the country or region of their service.  Funding an advisor gives partners the opportunity to develop and train potential staff for overseas or domestic assignments within their organizations.

Cost Effectiveness

MBAEC advisors provide unmatched value – our advisors costs between one third and one quarter of what it often costs to recruit, prepare, place, retain, and support a mid-level expatriate professional abroad for a year-long assignment.
