Formerly the Department of International Trade, the Department of International Business was renamed in 1992 in response to the emerging trend of cross-country business operations. Its MBA program was established in the same year, followed by the doctoral program in 1995. With decades of the fine tradition, the Department of International Business is proud of the world-class faculty with specialty in the fields of international business, strategy, marketing, and international finance and banking. Through theoretical and practical curriculum, the department aims to cultivate management professionals with a global mindset and the cross-cultural sensitivity and capability of engaging in multinational operations. Students are thus cultivated to be the future business leaders with a global vision, strong knowledge base, analytical skills, sense of responsibility, team-work spirit, social caring, and the courage to act.
