Intern<strong>at</strong>ional <strong>Business</strong> is about learning how to<br />
conduct business in the ‘global village’, which<br />
requires a wide range <strong>of</strong> skills. You have to be<br />

country but in many different countries, each <strong>of</strong><br />
which has its own way <strong>of</strong> doing things.<br />
Th<strong>at</strong> means being able to deal with the culture,<br />
language, law, institutions, companies and<br />
communities <strong>of</strong> different countries and<br />
understanding how the people from other<br />
cultures do business.<br />

sound found<strong>at</strong>ion in each <strong>of</strong> the basic business<br />
subjects – accounting, economics, finance,<br />
management, and marketing – and then putting<br />
those into the intern<strong>at</strong>ional context. With this<br />
comprehensive training, a gradu<strong>at</strong>e can work in<br />
any arena <strong>of</strong> global business, including positions<br />
in intern<strong>at</strong>ional institutions. Understanding<br />
and being able to work comfortably in th<strong>at</strong><br />
environment is the mark <strong>of</strong> the leader <strong>of</strong> the<br />
future.<br />
