Montclair State University

Program

International Business Overview

The world is becoming an economic market place without boundaries. Huge multinational corporations conduct business based on world-wide priorities while smaller domestic companies look for ways to tap into the growing markets of Europe , Asia and Third World countries. Successful managers must be able to work with a wide variety of people who use different currencies and systems to achieve their own economic and personal goals.

In recognition of this situation, Montclair State University has developed this international business option. This program includes instruction in management skills and concepts, but places these skills in an international, multi-cultural setting. In this way, students learn about the different monetary, banking and accounting systems they will encounter, and about the myriad of cultural norms that make the rest of the world a diverse place to market American goods and services. The International Business program prepares the student for the multiple career opportunities available in the various sectors of the multinational corporate global operations.
