David Grossman has been a member of Goucher’s faculty since January 2011. He teaches international business environment, international case studies, international consulting, negotiations, marketing management, international marketing, and strategic management. In addition, he teaches a marketing course in the graduate program. Dr. Grossman offers an ICA to Cuba where he provides students with an opportunity to learn and interact with business leaders and entrepreneurs to see how cultural and business practices differ from what they experience at home.
Students in Dr. Grossman’s classes incorporate topics by applying them into practical situations on campus and in the community for various entities. Goucher alumni applaud Dr. Grossman’s teaching methods in helping them prepare for life after school. Dr. Grossman’s greatest pleasure in the classroom is watching students evolve into confident problem solvers in the strategic management course, the business capstone.
Dr. Grossman’s areas of interest focus on market entry strategies, aspirations of the middle class consumer, and entrepreneurial spirit in emerging markets. His scholarly work includes these topics that have been published in journals such as, The Journal of World Business, Thunderbird International Business Review, and International Business Review.
