The global business concentration prepares students to
manage effectively in a global business environment that is complex and
changing. Building on a foundational course in international business,
students can select from a range of courses that address issues of
managing in a global environment such as cross-cultural management,
negotiations, strategic alliances, and technology transfer. Students
can also select courses in international trade or finance,
procurement, and marketing. The department also regularly offers courses
that involve travel abroad, combined with structured learning on and
off campus. One such course offered through the department can be
counted toward the concentration. This concentration is especially
valuable for students who choose a concentration in a functional field
(e.g., finance, supply chain management, marketing, etc.) and then
pursue a second concentration in global business. This sends a signal to
employers of having both functional specialization as well as a broad strategic purview of how to manage in a global economy.
