*******************************************************************

International Business is a six-credit graduate course that focuses on all aspects of conducting business in a global environment. This course will acquaint students with the theories, concepts, practices, and techniques in conducting business abroad.  A strong emphasis is placed on the impact of cultural, ethical, political, and other environmental factors on the management of multinational operations.

An overseas trip is a required component of this course and will expose students to foreign cultures;  and to a variety of U.S. and non-U.S. based businesses.   As we will see, the "foreign" aspect is evident among those we meet in social settings as well as the people we meet at the firms and organizations on our trip. We will spend approximately two weeks traveling and meeting with business executives, government officials, labor leaders, and academicians in European and Asian countries.
