International Education and Career Opportunities with GBCORP

Concept Overview: “Study Live” – Real-Time Business Education

Core Idea

“You study live” means students do not only study business theory — they run real businesses in real time while studying. Academic learning is directly integrated with practical execution, decision-making, and measurable commercial outcomes.

Students are not simulations or case studies; they work on actual startup projects with real budgets, targets, risks, and results.

Program Structure

Duration

1 Year Program

Geographical Exposure

3 Countries
Each country represents:
- a new market
- a new regulatory environment
- a new cultural and commercial ecosystem

Projects

3 Real Startup Projects
1 project per country
Each project runs for approximately 4 months

How It Works (Step-by-Step)

1. Startup Assignment

Each student (or student team) is:

Assigned a real startup project
Given a fixed operational budget
Provided with:
- clear commercial objectives
- revenue targets
- growth KPIs
- timelines

2. Live Business Execution

Students must:

Conduct market research
Build pricing strategies
Execute sales and marketing
Manage operations
Handle budgeting and cash flow
Adapt strategy based on real market response

All decisions are real, not hypothetical.

3. Academic Integration

Marketing
Operations

Risk management

Each academic module is immediately applied to the live project.

4. Performance Measurement

Students are evaluated on:

Failure and course correction are treated as learning outcomes, not penalties.

Increased complexity
