Mexico is a member of OECD and, with Canada
and the USA, of the North American Free Trade Association. Adult illiteracy is
down to under 10 percent, a remarkable achievement, as is Mexico's successful demographic
transition. Challenges include relatively slow and uneven economic growth -
even before the current crisis - as well as rising drug-related criminality.
Food for Thought
“One of the major drivers, in recent years, has been students’ growing
interest in engaging in developmental activities in emerging markets.
The best and brightest will pick a business school that offers such opportunities
– and this is equally true for top-of-the-line company recruitment.
Hence the degree of business school engagement in Africa and other developing
regions has become an increasingly important competitive offering.”
