  5. Prerequisites forGlobal Program Success • Location counts! • A supportive university context -- President/Provost, competent International Programs Office with appropriate experience, early & multiple global experience opportunities • Critical mass of “true believers” across disciplines, with identified shared core competencies (e.g., logistics/supply chain) • Carefully managed, limited number of strategic alliances/partnerships • International business community engagement & alignment – “share their dreams” • Very active utilization of AACSB resources, PRME (UN Global Compact), and other NGO relationships • A theme that has distinctive meaning and sticking power – e.g., sustainability – that you can build around and has global relevance/context
