Abstract

The increase in multinational companies and the rising level of global interdependency has brought to light the crucial need of producing business graduates who can successfully function and compete in an international society. It has become imperative that colleges of business not only produce graduates with all the qualities that make good managers in national companies but also with those qualities that will enable graduates to function in multinational companies. With multicultural employees increasing in number in American companies, international companies moving into the US, and US companies functioning internationally, it is imperative for today's business graduates to develop international business skills.

Abstract

Reports how Chinese international business educators perceive the relative quality of Chinese foreign trade programmes. The rankings and evaluative criteria adopted indicate that Chinese international business educators consider more on the inputs to the programme (e.g. number of professors) while output characteristics (e.g. competence of graduates) receive less attention. The evidence presented indicates that international business education in China is still at a growth stage and further development is necessary and desirable. Chinese international business educators should seriously consider shifting the current vocational training direction to a decision‐making orientation in their course planning and curriculum development.

Abstract

Purpose

In a globalized world where emerging markets are more important than ever, there is an increasing pressure on international businesses and governments to work together. The set of facilities known as commercial diplomacy combines the interests of both by highlighting new markets and investment opportunities.

Methodology/approach

In this chapter, we present a literature review based on 56 relevant publications to assess what we currently know of this important activity.

Findings

The results indicate that research on commercial diplomacy consists of many subtopics, resulting in a patchy understanding of the topic as a whole.

Research limitations/implications

We discuss why integrative research focusing on the business–government relationship and the organization and the value of commercial diplomacy are needed from an international business perspective.

Abstract

The main aim of this research is to provide initial evidences on the internationalization process of the Internet of Things (IoT) firms, seeking to understand which international model could better capture their behavior in the exploration of new business opportunities. A web-based questionnaire has been developed and sent to a sample of IoT managers in order to understand how these firms set up new business in a global landscape. Findings show that the well-known Uppsala model seems to be exceeded in explaining the internationalization process of the IoT firms. These firms seem to be born-global firms in nature with a gradual approach to inter­nationalize. In particular, IoT firms seek to get a leading position within the domestic market before exploring foreign markets. Finally, the IoT managers confirmed these first evidences, highlighting that IoT firms are born global in nature with a gradual approach in exploring and exploiting new business opportunities abroad.

Abstract

One of the main concerns in human resource management around the world is how education is encouraging the understanding of global issues, cultures, technological changes and social trends to make appropriate decisions in firm management. This chapter will aim to illustrate the main issues in international business (IB) theory and practice that need to be considered in configurating a global-minded curriculum that is able to produce global-minded human resources. Hence, to determine what inputs must be considered in building an exceptional curriculum and successful educational strategies, the author observe the assertions from three perspectives: first, the contributors to the IB and the multinational enterprise theory; second, the author explores the stakeholders’ perspective, who see the benefits and assume the consequences of education in the field; and third, the author reviews the researchers who in recent years have studied the problems and trends of the discipline.
