Abstract
In a world which is increasingly becoming more interconnected, more and more organizations are expanding their reach into markets that 20 years ago would have been off of the strategic horizon. This trend is not likely to level off any time soon, despite the economic downturn of 2008. Indeed, much of a business’s success depends on being able to penetrate overseas markets and capture significant market share. It is therefore incumbent on business schools to prepare future business leaders with the right knowledge and skills to be able to contribute to corporate strategy and continue the drive for business success.
