MBA/MPP Student Conducts Case Study Research in Africa with HIV/AIDS organizations




Studying international management isn't always about figuring out best practices for a Fortune 500. With financial support from UCLA CIBER and the Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, MBA/MPP candidate, Erin Eriksson, traveled to Malawi and Kenya to assist in collecting data for case studies related to managing operations for profit and non-profit organizations. Much of her work looked at helping HIV/AIDS organizations improve their services through better management practices. Erin says, "I am grateful to CIBER for affording me the opportunity to build my knowledge and experience. As an MBA/MPP student focusing on international health, working abroad to gain experience with healthcare organizations in Africa was critical to my understanding of challenges and potential solutions."
