He shared that, as a professor at BU, he ensures that students stay ahead of the curve. "When business and technology intersect, they are constantly changing," he said. "I make sure that my students are not learning something that happened five years ago - and I use current blogs and video to supplement materials for my classes."
He explained that students have to compete as evolving leaders in their field. The collaboration between Ericsson and Boston University is one way that the MBA program is making this happen. And the collaboration round at this year's competition, which is a new aspect of the program, is an extension of this.
"The most beneficial part of partnering with Ericsson is giving these students a real and timely case that was created through active collaboration," Venkat said.
Every day, the MBA program also fosters collaboration through group class projects, integrated projects that span multiple courses, and merging multiple viewpoints in class.
"To see students give these final presentations, and take away a rewarding educational experience from this competition has been so rewarding for me today," he said.
