The IBI supports these efforts since the expertise that faculty develop benefits all of our students in the College of Business.
Several of our faculty attended various programs at these schools. We also hosted international faculty from the schools we created partnership with. The IBI Institute has faculty exchange partnerships with schools in France, Germany, Japan, and Thailand.
The IBI Institute hosts symposiums focusing on international aspects of business. The recent symposium focused on "American-Japanese Business Relationships" which was conducted at College of Business.
