BCTA and Capital University of Economics and Business Co-Host Flipped Classroom for International MBA A-Class Students

Recently, the Bahamas-China Trade Association (BCTA), in collaboration with Capital University of Economics and Business (CUEB), successfully hosted a dynamic flipped classroom session for International MBA A-Class students. The session focused on key topics such as global trade market behavior and consumer-driven forces, aiming to enrich students’ global business perspectives and critical thinking abilities.

The flipped classroom model encouraged students to engage in pre-class research, followed by in-depth discussions, peer exchanges, and real-time feedback from instructors during the live session. This interactive format empowered students to actively explore real-world business challenges through collaborative learning.

Key topics discussed included:

• The evolving role of consumers in international trade

• Cultural, policy, and technological drivers behind market behavior

• Strategic responses by global companies to consumer-led trends

BCTA representatives shared real-life examples from trade and consumer markets between the Caribbean and China, highlighting shifts in consumer preferences, cross-border branding strategies, and talent mobility.

Faculty members from CUEB brought valuable academic insights into the conversation, helping students bridge theory with practice and further strengthening the university’s commitment to internationalized, practice-oriented business education.

The event not only enhanced students’ understanding of global markets but also served as a model for future joint teaching initiatives and cross-border academic collaboration. BCTA remains committed to building educational bridges and empowering young talents to thrive in an interconnected world.
