MBA 713 International Business
This course consists of an MBA Study Abroad experience. Two are offered each year, a January trip to Asia and a June trip to Europe. The emphasis of this course will be research and analysis of factors involved in establishing and operating an international business. Topics include foreign exchange, finance, regulatory requirements, and assessment of socioeconomic and political conditions in off-shore destinations. We will discuss strategic positioning, marketing, and organizational structure. These trips typically last eight or nine days and are scheduled to ensure that a student does not miss more than one work-week. The MBA program provides a partial subsidy toward the cost of the travel.
