International Business (IB) matters are among the top two or three issues on a CEOs' strategic agenda as they consider the international environment critical to their firm’s future success. IB is about companies engaging in cross-border economic activities such as trade, and it plays a crucial role in the economy as one of the best anti-poverty, pro-growth and pro-development tools in history. However, we must recognise the existent problems in the global economy, which require a real response and leadership.
Norway is an exemplar global citizen, where leadership joins generosity and a true commitment to globalisation. Leadership - being a founding member of the World Trade Organisation and an influential player in the international community. Generosity - having donated many billions, Norway is one of the largest contributors in helping least-developed countries tackle their trading infrastructure constraints by building the skills and capacity necessary to trade.
BI prides itself in having world-class faculty, close links to the international business community, and a participatory teaching style. The International Business specialisation combines these characteristics with a tailored programme of electives you can handpick, an internship at a leading institution, or an exciting exchange experience.
