Doing Business In and With Argentina

DWC Argentina will provide Darden students the chance to experience and contrast two touch points into Argentine culture and economy. Buenos Aires offers a visit to one of the world’s great capitals: a cosmopolitan city and the political and economic center of the country. The course will then travel to Mendoza, a major wine producing zone located along the trade route that links Buenos Aires and Santiago, Chile. In each location, students will explore the impact of economic and political change on businesses and how companies adapt to navigate an evolving operating environment. DWC Argentina will introduce students to the people and businesses innovating within an uncertain market framework and the unique culture that has arisen alongside them.

In this course, students will:

• Understand the nature of the economic and political framework of Argentina and increase student awareness of the cultural, political and socioeconomic drivers in Latin America.
• Gain insight into how businesses navigate disruption and change across the nation's major industries and expose students to the challenges and opportunities of doing business in this part of the Americas.
• Experience two distinctly different regions of Argentina and understand how their history and geographies drive and shape their economies.
  • Buenos Aires — metro population of over 15 million and home to one out of every three Argentines, capital and political center
  • Mendoza — heart of the nation’s wine region, located at the foot of the Andes Mountain Range
• Appreciate aspects of Argentine culture, including music, dance (tango), art and gastronomy
