visits to key departments

and facilities of said companies.

Management Tour Concept

Conventional business education provides only a general idea of how business works. Studying

successful businesses in action is the only way to gain real and practical knowledge first hand.

Executives want practical knowledge: they want to hear, see, touch, and understand.

Management tour is the best way to see a potential partner in action and to determine whether an

innovation is especially noteworthy or whether it is just a waste of time and effort.

It is an ideal way to motivate your talented employees, increase loyalty, and nurture an

innovative mode of thought.

Moreover, each visit gives an impulse of innovative breakthrough ideas that will help shape your

company’s growth strategy for a few years ahead.
