Answer to Question 1

There are several reasons to study international business. Most large organizations will have international operations or be affected by the global economy. In addition, an understanding of international business will allow students to better assess career opportunities, interact more effectively with other managers, and keep pace with competitors. Furthermore, students may eventually work for a company headquartered in another country. Finally, small businesses are becoming more involved in international business. Being culturally literate means having an understanding of different countries and cultures. Having some knowledge of how a country or company fits into the global economy can help a business person earn respect, confidence, and a competitive edge.
