Doing Business In and With Brazil

The Brazil DWC facilitates an exploration of the major cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro with a focus on the ways key economic engines have been influenced by Brazilian culture to create unique business models with Latin America. Through company engagements and cultural tours, students will have the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the cultural, political, and socioeconomic drivers shaping Brazil’s business environment. The course offers a comparison between the two major economic and cultural hubs of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, often characterized as the New York and L.A. of Brazil. 

In this course, students will:

• Gain first-hand exposure to the business practices and culture of Brazil
• Witness the dynamic nature of Brazil’s innovation and change in response to challenges such as inflation, political change and wealth inequality 
• Understand how history and demography have created a diverse and vibrant culture
• Explore the nature of media and communications via a Brazilian lens
• Experience Brazilian food, dance, music and sports and gain insight into how and why they have become globally popular
