MBA in International Business

Growing forces of liberalization, privatization, global trade wars and expansionism have substantially intensified competition and companies need to rise to International standards in order to survive and grow. Saturation of domestic markets is compelling companies to enter international markets aggressively for hedging business risks, capturing sizable market shares and adding value to their stake holders.

India is considerably globalized as FIIs are driving capital markets, businesses, trade & commodities. FDI norms have been eased for encouraging investments in several sectors. Given the Indian aspiration of becoming a USD 5 trillion and USD 10 trillion economy in the near future, a deep understanding of IB fundamentals, its guiding principles, impact, consequent challenges and the ability to devise effective solutions are becoming a must for every business student.
