INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

This course has been designed to mimic the decision-making environment in a business setting. Students will face real-world problems through case studies and readings that require further research and critical thinking. To address these challenges, students will need to seek additional information to deepen their understanding and demonstrate the connection between theory and practice. They will also learn to synthesize and extrapolate data, select the most suitable tools for analysis, and effectively communicate their findings. Through hands-on research and problem-solving, students will bridge the gap between academic concepts and practical business applications.
