International Credit and Risk Management at Dartmouth College

Paul taught for the second year this past summer at Dartmouth College at the invitation of the National Association of Credit Management's (NACM) Graduate School of Credit and Financial Management (GSCFM). This executive-level program is an invigorating two-week, two-year (four weeks total) program presented on the campus of Dartmouth College. The course, International Credit and Risk Management, is described as follows:

In the global business environment, the professional credit executive realizes that issues of risk management are dynamic. The course is designed to develop both an understanding of the vast changes in the global economy and transitions in the social and political sectors that impact our decisions. In addition, the program offers an opportunity to appreciate what "best practices" will work in the field of international credit and risk management. The concerns for both the global buyer and seller are examined. Country, currency and culture risk attributes are identified with specific examples. Risk mitigation techniques; international law; credit insurance; sources of credit information are considered. Payment alternatives are described and evaluated. The role of banks and how credit professional should effectively relate are assessed. Collection techniques; negotiating scenarios; international ethics and the future of global credit management are additional topics in the program.
