International Economics
The MBA in international economics
provides students with the rigorous
analytical skills of international
economics, and knowledge of the institutional
foundations of international business
required of managers in a rapidly
globalizing business environment. This
degree prepares those who plan
careers in business organizations, with
substantial operations in the
international sphere, to interpret and
forecast the effect of international
economic and political trends on
their
business activities. Changes in national
comparative advantages, fluctuations
in exchange rates, and the economic and
financial risks emerging in changing
political environments are some of the
factors that managers must be able
to analyze in order to successfully
conduct international business activities.
This degree provides the economic tools
required to conduct such analyses. |
