GDI Client Company – Spain, Chief Executive Officer, Fall 2023 (Over-the-counter Medications)
I am writing to highly recommend the Global Development (GDI) Program – having had the pleasure of working closely with you over the past few months at Mucosa Innovations.
The (Student) Team has constantly demonstrated a strong commitment to professional development and a passion for addressing global challenges.
One of their most notable strengths is to identify key points, think critically, and analyze complex issues. The Team has successfully applied this skill in our project.
The Team has a global perspective and appreciation for the connectedness of global issues which will undoubtedly contribute to the diversity and richness of the GDI program.
Overall, I have full confidence that the team will not only excel in the GDI program but also make valuable contributions to the broader global community. They are dedicated and motivated individuals with a genuine passion for business and a demonstrated commitment to making a positive impact on the world.
Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information or clarification. I wholeheartedly recommend the GDI program, and I am confident that it will emerge as a valuable asset to your institution.
GDI Student – Republic of Korea Company, Class of Fall 2020 (Medical Devices)
One of the most formative experiences I had in college was working as a part of the Global Development Initiative. GDI is a program where students conduct market research on foreign small and medium enterprises looking to expand their businesses in Texas. I first came across the program in my freshman year and was immediately intrigued by the chance to interact with clients from around the world.
GDI Student – Canadian Company, Class of Fall 2020 (Renewable Energy)
We have conducted market research with the GDI program to help an overseas partner company, to establish a business in the U.S. Through this three-month-long program, not only for the oil & gas industry, but we also gained knowledge for the landfills, telecom, and agriculture industries. I am grateful to be part of the GDI program. Thank you to the University of Texas at Dallas, Center for Global Business for the learning opportunities and support to complete the materials. I discovered so much about the industries in Texas that I did not know about before.
GDI Student – Swedish Company, Class of Spring 2022 (Rural Broadband Development)
Thank you, Mr. Howorth! And I also want to say thank you for all the help and opportunity you provided me during the Global Development Initiative in 2022. That experience has been priceless during my job interviews as it gave me first-hand involvement working on data procurement and consultation. It was always a talking point and helped me get my current job at Murphy Oil Corporation, so I truly appreciate what you and Professor Zydorek did for us during that course! Thank You!
GDI Student – Swedish Company, Class of Spring 2021 (Building Sensors, Internet of Things)
Worked as the Project Lead of the GDI program, we have learned to provide insightful research concerning market analysis, entry strategies, and industry channels for an international IoT solutions company. I learned valuable skills relating to managerial operations, team coordination, project coordination, and creating a productive environment for my team and company. I utilized all facades of my college education concerning disciplines of marketing, HR management, managerial accounting, business models and strategies, finance, organizational behavior, and international business.
GDI Student – Korean Company, Class of Spring 2021 (Medical Device)
Joining the Global Development Initiative program this semester has been an experience and decision that has allowed me to not only learn but apply the knowledge gained from my classes. Alongside my team, we were able to provide our client Company with market entry strategies and conduct market research, and we were able to obtain a closer, in-depth look into the healthcare industry.
