MBAs Without Borders

MBAs Without Borders

MBAs Without Borders MWB is a registered Canadian charitable organization. The organization strives to contribute to the business and social development of developing nations through work rotations of MBA (Masters of Business Administration) accredited professionals.

Operations

MBAs Without Borders exports MBAs to developing nations to aid in projects relating to Healthcare, Agriculture, Finance, and Income-Generation. More recently MWB has also began working in projects that help combat climate change or more broadly, the Environment.

Within these sectors, MWB partners MBAs with local businesses, multinational corporations, and NGOs to foster trade with an emphasis on social development. MWB achieves this by having MBAs interact and train underdeveloped populations to better conceptualize, market, and implement their own local initiatives. This provides them the knowledge and tools to achieve a competitive advantage in a globalized marketplace, which in turn raises income and living standards.

Geographically, MWB is active in Africa, South-East Asia, South Asia, Latin America (including Mexico), and the Caribbean. Information regarding individual projects and initiatives can be found on the organization's website [http://www.mbaswithoutborders.org/] .

MWB is a relatively new organization but is already directly networked with 2500 MBAs and is also connected with over 400 MBA student and alumni networks worldwide. MWB uses this large network to advertise opportunities to volunteer in foreign nations.

History and people

MBAs Without Borders was founded in 2004 by Tal Dehtiar and Michael Brown, both MBA graduates of the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University in Ontario. Currently MWB has a broad array of professionals working within the organization, with highly educated and experienced members on its Board of Directors. MWB has also acquired a large pool of academic and business-related knowledge and experience to draw from with its Board of Advisors. Members of this body are community leaders in different cities, and CEOs of various multinational corporations. Individual profiles of members within both boards are available on the MWB website.
