11 BizEd March/April 2014 An dr eyPoPov/Th i n ksTock partnerships with schools such as Keio University in Japan, Fudan University and Peking University in China, Seoul National University in South Korea, and IIM Ahmedabad in India. n The Farmer School of Business at Miami Univer- sity in Oxford, Ohio, has developed a new winter pro- gram, Asian Financial Markets, which looks at emerg- ing powerhouses in Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing. Students will work with executives from companies operating in Asia, including Barclays, JP Morgan, BlackRock, Cerberus, and Northern Trust. These examples and the AACSB data highlighted above suggest a trend toward more alliances between schools in Asia and those in Europe and America—in terms of joint programs, student and faculty exchanges, and research opportunities. The next five years should show exciting growth across all categories. STEM Cells As science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) continue to be viewed as the engines of innovation, more schools are offering programs designed to help scientists and engineers develop business skills. Two will debut this year: n In March, Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management in Cleve- land, Ohio, will hold an executive education program for women in the STEM professions. Leadership Lab for Women in STEM, a six-day program, will help participants identify strategies and develop organizational skills and competen- cies for successful long-term STEM careers. n In June, Purdue University's Krannert School of Management will begin offering a one-year full-time MBA for STEM professionals at its campus in West Lafayette, Indiana. The program is designed to help STEM professionals transi- tion into business leadership roles in technology- centered organizations. Krannert also intends to begin a weekend MBA program for STEM pro- fessionals in Chicago in 2015.
