Welcome to The Levin Institute. We are a new 21st Century academic model and enterprise that addresses key aspects and issues of globalization. We do this through developing new learning models, research and public engagement. We prepare individuals and institutions to learn, work and communicate across borders and cultures. As a free standing, system wide institute within the State University of New York (SUNY) we meld management school curricula with that of schools of international relations. The successful manager of the 21st Century will be defined by the ability to operate successfully across divisions of nationality, ethnicity, religion and languages as well as political, economic, legal and regulatory environments.
Our research projects and studies include global talent (high end knowledge workers), China as an emerging knowledge driven economy and society, the growing influence of global corporations, global media and the impact of globalization on American society. Through our conferences and events, and leading edge information and audio visual technology we work to give new meaning to the concept of distance learning. One of our web sites, www.globalization101.org, is a leading platform for information and learning tools.
Located in the heart of New York City, the Levin Institute is ideally suited to provide students and working professionals the skills needed to succeed in today's rapidly changing world. Four decades ago, Marshall McLuhan, the media sage, looked at the emerging technology of international communication and commerce and proclaimed, "We now live in a global village." It hasn't turned out that way. Today, we live in countless villages of different sizes and cultures that are connected globally. It is the mission of the Levin Institute, through its courses, conferences, research and international outreach, to help to make those connections. Please explore this web site and join with us as we move ahead building an institute that is distinct and bold as we all face the challenges and seize the opportunities of the 21st Century.
