Synopsis: Team Peru is a unique, impact driven, immersive experience. We are a movement that allows for students to make the most of their education while simultaneously having a positive impact on people’s lives. In conjunction with the Andean Alliance for Sustainable Development, students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a professional environment that caters to his or her particular academic area of focus. Based on each individual’s knowledge, interests, and passion, each participant is assigned to a project where, as a group, they are encouraged to take full ownership and responsibility of the planning and implementation of that project. Leaders are there to assist and facilitate this process.

IMGT

IMGT 8603- Social Marketing- March 30- April 1, Instructor: Dalakas

The workshop will focus on how marketing strategies and techniques can be applied to address social issues and to improve the well-being of the community in both developed and developing countries. Examples and cases of social marketing campaigns will be integrated within the workshop.

IMGT 8604- International Strategic Partnerships- 10:00- 11:50 T/TR- March 29- May 1, Instructor: Schill

This workshop is for students interested in forming and managing international strategic partnerships between business, social or governmental/educational enterprises, large or small, within various countries of the world, for purposes such as international market entry, acquisition of critical resources and competencies, fulfilling and achieving social impact initiatives and social responsibilities, environmental initiatives, developing and launching new products, or collaborative activities in research or distribution. It is a case discussion-based workshop involving actual partnership situations, their identification, planning, partner selection, partnership terms establishment, negotiation, partnership conflict resolution, and partnership transitions and end-games. There are no prerequisites and the workshop is open to all MIIS students.

IMGT 8622- Mergers and Acquisitions- April 27- 29, Instructor: McAllister

This workshop is designed to address a special topic in corporate financial management involving the combination of corporate enterprises. It will include some historical background about the market for mergers and acquisitions, followed by the rationale for pursuing an acquisition. The course also includes information and analysis on the various ways created value is distributed. Prerequisite: IMGT 8536

IMGT 8647- The Art of Failure- April 21- 22, Instructor: Zelkha

Success, the high altar of our culture. Failure, the dungeon of our culture. But our success culture is in deep and fundamental conflict with entrepreneurship, innovation, risk-taking, learning and, inextricably, failure. Success without failure is simply …. luck. Innovation is a double helix built with creativity, risky exploration, testing assumptions, sweat, failures, learning, retrenchment, re-creation, re-exploration, re-learning, mutation, and eventual victory. Failure is not the opposite of success, but its compliment.

This course overturns the common knowledge of failure and success, and proposes that failure has to be embraced as an essential platform for innovation and success. The course examines the frequently contradictory views of failure in the Silicon Valley and venture capital arenas. We will also hear, first-hand, the failure/success stories from Silicon Valley executives and venture capitalists, as well as venture leaders operating in developing countries. We will examine the state-of-the-art entrepreneurial methods for embracing failure such as Y Combinator, Fast Failure and Failure Tolerant Leadership.

The course will review the academic literature on failure, discussing its causes and prescriptions for prevention. In particular, we will look at the engineering view of failure, including the FMEA approach (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and the possible application of this approach to the business world. We will also examine and discuss cross-cultural views of failure and risk-taking.

We will examine how the pace of competitive knowledge offered through modern communication technologies, has caused some of the old, classical methods of planning and managing business risk to be supplanted by more agile methods which incorporate frequent, real-world, testing of scenarios and assumptions – and explicitly incorporating knowledge from “failures.”

We will examine current research on the psychology of failure. Students will participate in diagnostic tests to help them understand their own unique patterns and proclivities to fail. They will also examine their own resilience and paths to recovery and renewal.

IMGT 8655- Tools for Project Management- 9:00A- 12:50P F- March 30- May 18, Instructor: Loomba

This course provides a comprehensive overview of project management, addressing four major issues: culture, principles, management and techniques /tools used in projects. The course reviews the general stages of a project in chronological order and describes how the stages interrelate. The elements of project management critical to the success of a project are also identified and explained. Course Objectives: • To describe, demystify and formalize project management so that students are prepared for the Project Management curriculum and can utilize knowledge and skills in their professions. Real world examples, case studies and anecdotes will be used to illustrate major points. These illustrations will also show that managing projects, while a challenging and rewarding career choice of itself, is a valuable asset in all careers. • To provide a substantive overview of project management in an international context. Working on both international projects and on local projects in international teams will be stressed. Real life hurdles of working in the international environment will be a prime focus of the course. • To enable the immediate practice of project management in any workplace, independent of discipline. Students will learn to use project management processes and discuss them intelligently with colleagues, senior executives, or clients.

IMGT 8676- International Marketing Communications- April 27- 29, Instructor: McGibben

This course offers an integrated marketing approach to the study of the ways in which profit and nonprofit organizations communicate with their audiences in order to accomplish various marketing objectives. Emphasis is placed on understanding the synergies between various communications tools like advertising, sales promotions, public relations, and event sponsorships, within an international context. Case and class discussions will integrate the experiences of a variety of companies from small to large business, with a particular focus in high tech.

We will discuss the basic concept of integrated marketing communications and how to apply the concepts in the context of examples and cases from companies. We will identify the issues involved with designing a marketing communications strategy and campaigns to look at challenges with developing marketing communications programs across rapidly evolving media technologies and across cultures.

IMGT 8691- International Business Negotiation- April 13- April 15, Instructor: Metcalf

This course aims to expand awareness, enhance understanding and facilitate development of a set of perspectives and skills essential to effectiveness in international negotiations. Specific focus is directed toward developing a framework for considering aspects of international negotiations, understanding the development of trust, dimensions of coalitional bargaining and the range of conflict handling modes.

IMGT 8697 – Social Risk and Corporate Value- May 05- 06, Instructor: Dow

This workshop provides a framework for analyzing the social risk of the firm and tries to find any links that may exist to corporate value. We will examine various attempts to measure social risk and work with social risk data from a leading data provider (Risk Metrics). The costs of adhering to high environmental and social standards can translate to higher operating costs that in turn may place the firm at a competitive disadvantage and lead to lower profitability. On the other hand strong social policies can confer a competitive advantage on the firm by stimulating technological innovations, improving the efficiency of resource use and thereby cutting costs, strengthening a firm’s reputation and brand, and reducing the firm’s operational risk. The workshop will be conducted using both lecture and cases and active student participation is both encouraged and required.

­IPOL

IPOL 8588- Water and Conflict- April 6-7 and April 27- May 05 (Time TBA), Instructor: Iyer

Human beings cannot survive without water. Water is a basic need. Scarcity or depletion of water resources, as is the case on our planet today, means there is almost certainly a situation of ‘the haves vs. the have-nots’. Those who exercise their power to control resources use a variety of tools to ensure their access to water and often do so at the cost of depriving others of their basic need and human right. Conflict invariably follows. And while a natural conclusion is that these conflicts will invariably turn violent, the fact is that we have not really had water wars. Why?

In this course, students will explore a variety of social issues that are intertwined in conflicts over water. Through case studies, students will further their understanding of water conflicts and the reason behind how and why potential water wars are transformed through various dispute resolution and conflict management processes.

Still looking to take some interesting courses? Need a few more credits? The following is a list of upcoming workshops that are still available for the second half of the semester.

WKSH 8523- US Nuclear Weapons History and Cost- March 30- April 1, Instructor: Schwartz

This workshop explores how and why the United States spent more than $7 trillion to build 70,000 nuclear weapons during the Cold War, conduct more than 1,000 nuclear tests, and deploy and maintain a worldwide network of delivery systems, sensors, and communications assets capable of unleashing (or defending against) unimaginable destruction. Key developments and turning points in the history of the U.S. nuclear weapons program will be discussed, and the substantial human health, environmental, and economic costs of the testing, production, and deployment of U.S. nuclear weapons will be quantified and assessed, along with the effectiveness of efforts to keep secret large parts of the program. The ongoing and anticipated future costs of U.S. nuclear weapons will also be discussed. Basic knowledge of nuclear weapons and the Cold War is helpful but not essential.

WKSH 8526- Fundamentals of International Trade and Shipping-April 27-29, Instructor: MacLellan

The purpose of this workshop is to explain fundamental principles and implications of international trade transactions which require goods movement. We will explore key relationships between the commercial agreement, the financial aspect of the transaction and the physical movement of the goods (international air and sea freight). An important focus will be risk minimization through the pragmatic use of international terms of sale, intermodal bills of lading, surveys and insurance. In addition, other current areas of concern in the field of international logistics will be reviewed, including shipping markets, non-tariff barriers, security, foreign trade zones, and currency fluctuations.

WKSH 8538- Nonproliferation, Disarmament and Peaceful Uses- April 14- 15, Instructor: Wijewardane

The Non-Aligned Movement is the principal partner of Western states and the Nuclear Weapons States in multilateral negotiations relating to nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament. This Workshop will introduce the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in its historical and current contexts, and will focus on the role NAM has played in the global nuclear debate. The Workshop will examine relevant material from the NAM intergovernmental process including its Head of State Summit Meetings, as well as the contributions made by NAM in multilateral fora, such as the NPT, the UNGA, the First Committee, the Conference on Disarmament, the UNDC as well as international Organizations such as the IAEA.

WKSH 8542- Counterterrorism- March 28- May 18, Instructor: Howard– ONLINE COURSE

The Counter-Terrorism Workshop is designed to address the challenges of terrorism in the current and future global security environment in a participatory seminar format. Specifically, the workshop briefly reviews the threat terrorism poses to liberal democratic states, citizens and policymakers, then explores how liberal democracies can best predict, prevent, preempt and, if necessary, directly combat terrorism. The workshop leverages the instructor’s counter-terrorism experience, which spans nearly three decades in various operational and academic assignments. The workshop assumes a baseline understanding of terrorism (prior completion of a basic terrorism course is recommended) but will review the “new terrorism” briefly to ensure that all workshop members have a common frame of reference. Students will then explore numerous facets of counter-terrorism strategies, policies and operations. Special attention will be given to addressing terrorist threats in a democratic society. Three case studies (Mumbai, the Times Square Bomber, and a case of the student’s choosing) will illustrate the real challenges of countering terrorism in democratic countries. Students will conduct a graded group exercise that pits their skills and ingenuity against counter-terrorist forces.

WKSH 8549B- Human Trafficking- March 28- May 18, Instructor: Vanek– ONLINE COURSE

This workshop will examine human trafficking as an emerging public issue, while focusing on the real-world challenges to identifying and rescuing victims, prosecuting traffickers, while also addressing the socio-economic and cultural dynamics that are leveraged by traffickers. This course will focus heavily on the multi-disciplinary, victim-centered approach promoted through international and domestic anti-human trafficking protocols and policies, including the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 and the subsequent reauthorizations.

The course will include an examination of relevant existing data, types of trafficking, legal definitions, domestic and international efforts to combat trafficking, challenges faced by law enforcement, the nexus between trafficking and other transnational crime, the role of traditional NGOs and social entrepreneurs, and corporate social responsibility. Finally, we will examine potential career opportunities related to combating human trafficking and the leadership, collaboration and consensus-building skills necessary for success, whether working in the global arena or for a local agency.

WKSH 8580- Renewable Energy- April 13- 15, Instructor: Williams 

WKSH 8597- Trade Migration and Risk Mitigation- May 04- 06, Instructor: MacLellan

The purpose of this course is to review compliance issues for international trade. Since 9/11, import controls have been steadily increased by Homeland Security, CBP, the FDA and other Federal agencies. Additionally, since the recent transfer of responsibility for export regulation from the U.S. Department of Census to CBP, export controls present a greater obstacle for U.S. businesses than in other nations, despite Government policy to increase exports through the National Export Initiative. To provide an understanding of these challenges to trade, this course shall provide an overview of these key issues;

Regulatory rules for both imports and export, to and from the United States. Proposed reforms to export controls will also be reviewed.

Security issues arising from current U.S. Government policies will be explored, with specific reference to the Bureau of Industry & Security as well as other Federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, State Department and U.S. Department of the Treasury.Best practices for internal corporate controls to ensure compliance will be discussed in the context of international commercial transactions. For the purpose of enabling a successful trade transaction, the merits of comparative risk mitigation approaches to compliance will be analyzed.

This February the Frontier Market Scouts program announced that it will offer a five-day training program followed by a July-August internship/field post in conjunction with the regularly scheduled two-week training and six-month field program. Similiar to the longer training and field program, this new shorter option will be open to Monterey Institute students as  well as graduate students, professionals, and career-changers from other schools and organizations.

Applications for both the short and longer programs (that start May 29) are due by April 1, 2012.

Jointly developed and managed by the Monterey Institute, Sanghata Global, and Village Capital, the Frontier Market Scouts (FMS) program turns compassionate and capable young professionals into talent scouts and investment managers serving local entrepreneurs and social-minded investors in low-income and weak-capital regions of the world.

The NPTS Honors Thesis is a highly selective program through which students will be challenged to design and conduct an independent research project of professional scope and quality with the guidance of a thesis advisor. Only a limited number of students will be selected to participate in the Honors Thesis program each academic year.

Application and Selection

Applications for the honors thesis program will be accepted in the spring semester of each academic year. Students in their second or subsequent semesters in the NPTS MA program who are currently maintaining a GPA of 3.7 or higher may apply to be admitted into the Honors Thesis program. Application forms are available from the GSIPM front desk and are due to the GSIPM Dean’s Office by March 30. Applications require a proposal for the thesis, academic transcript, sample of research writing, and endorsement from a member of the faculty or research staff. In endorsing a student for the honors thesis, a faculty or staff member agrees to serve as the student’s thesis advisor if the student is selected for the program.

Students will be selected for the honors thesis on the basis of GPA, demonstrated proficiency in research and analytical writing, and any other relevant criteria as determined by a selection committee composed of NPTS faculty. Students selected for the program will be notified and will receive approval to enroll in IPOL 8662 NPTS Honors Thesis in the subsequent Fall semester. IPOL 8662 will count as a seminar toward fulfilling the requirements of the NPTS MA degree.

Thesis Preparation and Review

Throughout the Fall semester, thesis advisors will provide students enrolled in IPOL 8662 with individualized supervision of their thesis projects. Thesis advisors will set a schedule for research and writing of the thesis and will meet with students as needed to review progress and provide comments and advice.

Symposium

Students will be required to present and defend their Honors Theses before the MIIS community in a public symposium. During the symposium, students will receive comments from discussants chosen from faculty and research staff at MIIS and other institutions, nonproliferation and counterterrorism practitioners, and/or distinguished alumni. Students will be expected to respond to questions and comments in a professional manner and to incorporate their comments in the final version of their theses as appropriate.

Finalization and Grading

Students will submit final versions of their honors theses to their thesis advisors after the symposium. Thesis advisors will grade final submissions and determine whether or not they meet the standards of quality necessary for designation as an honors thesis.
