A growing number of companies transact a significant portion of their business through international channels. Even those corporations conducting business strictly in the U.S. have to compete with foreign imports and for foreign labor. As a result, managers of major corporations that take advantage of international opportunities have a competitive edge. The undergraduate major in International Business is offered only as a co-major along with any other major within the Terry College. The following paragraphs provide information on the International Business and Management co-major. A primary objective of the Management major is to help students develop the perspective, skill, and knowledge needed to manage and lead the modern organization more effectively. What makes the life of a manager so interesting is that it requires one to address such a wide variety of problemsfinancial, material, human, legal, political, and environmentalalmost every day. No other career provides such a rich mixture of challenges. To be successful under such conditions, students must be able to work with and through groups of people toward a common end and be able to communicate with others (in both written and oral form) the mission, goals, objectives, and direction of the organization which they are chosen to lead. Further, in an increasingly complex and global business environment, students must be able to think creatively with regard to problem solving in all areas of the enterprise. The common program of study for students who are candidates for the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) offers excellent opportunities to select coursework which may well serve a variety of personal development goals in meeting the professional challenges outlined above. Within the Management major itself, the required Management Core is designed to provide students with exposure to the central issues and competencies required for managers facing the twenty-first century. Through appropriate selection of major elective courses, students may better prepare for career opportunities that utilize the specialized knowledge and skills offered in more specific areas.
