A ``Career-Ready`` Student Body
At the Institute of International Business (IIB), our faculty nurture a "career-ready" student body who impress employers with a global mindset, analytical skills, and social consciousness. Through our focus on the concept of "responsible global business," we seek to promote innovation while keeping environmental, societal, and governance imperatives top of mind.
Our research and teaching emphasize dynamic linkages of multiple stakeholders in international business. These include all sizes of multinational organizations, emerging economies, the diverse and under-served communities in Georgia and the Southeast United States, and the globally mobile labor force amongst migrants and refugee communities. We are keenly attentive to intercultural coalitions, inclusion, and sustainability.
