As more
and more firms throughout the world become
multinational, they increasingly need executives who
can deal effectively with organizational problems in
an international framework. The international business
program offered at SIU's
London, Paris,
Madrid,
Florida and
Heidelberg
campuses is designed to meet this need. During their
three to four years of study, students may transfer
from one center to another, not only learning basic
business administration principles, but also becoming
conversant with the linguistic, social, economic and
political conditions and business practices of several
countries.
