On March 16th, students in Professor Reisinger's Business and Culture in the Francophone World class (FR 109S, MMS) visited the Nomacorc Factory in Zebulon, NC, which has plants in Belgium and China. Students toured the factory and met with the CEO and President, who spoke about managing cultural and linguistic diversity in a multinational company. The visit was sponsored by MMS and the Center for Francophone Studies.
Site visits to marketing agencies, meetings with government officials, tours of local farms, outdoor music festivals, a visit to the Cirque du soleil … what better way to learn how markets and cultural identity influence each other?
