7th Biennial International Business Institute for Community College Faculty
"This was my 4th visit with the IBI. And while all have been great, this one was without a doubt the best, both in logistics and content. Each speaker was, in my opinion, top of the line. Kudos to the IBI team for making this institute better than ever!"

This workshop is designed to equip international business educators with an in-depth understanding of how institutions shape the strategies that firms employ and the actions that managers take in developing and emerging countries. We will explore how weak institutions create particular challenges, such as corruption, political risk, regulatory obstacles, social divisions, and civil strife—and the ways firms and managers can cope with these issues. We also will examine how non-governmental organizations (NGOs), social entrepreneurs, diaspora communities, and multilateral organizations are striving to strengthen institutions in these markets and how these new institutional forms affect firms and managers. Participants will learn about the institutional realities practitioners and policymakers currently are facing in these countries and the latest scholarly research findings in this area. They also will acquire hands-on experience with various teaching materials, including cases, videos, and in-class and internet exercises, that will help participants better prepare their students for success in developing and emerging markets.
