The department offers a BA
in International Business Administration, which
addresses all the functional areas of business
within an international context. The Division
offers a BS in International Finance, which
provides the student with the skills necessary
to work in a financial firm or investment bank,
through an extensive series of finance courses.
A BA in Entrepreneurship is offered for those
students interested in creating or working in a
small business. Undergraduate Minors in
International Business Administration and
Entrepreneurship are also offered.
The
Major in International Business Administration
emphasizes both discipline-based knowledge
(i.e., an understanding of basic business
disciplines with an ability to integrate the
concepts, models and techniques associated with
business) as well as the following skills:
Problem solving
Information technology
Leadership/Teaming
Effective Communication
Global understanding
Responsibility/Ethics
The
Entrepreneurship Major is a
generalist business degree geared towards
students who want to start their own business,
work in a small business, work in a family
business, or want to understand the management
of innovation in any organization. A BA in
Entrepreneurship will teach students the basics
of small business management and the activities
required for the planning and creation of new
enterprises within a single country as well as
internationally. Students majoring in
entrepreneurship will be well-grounded in the
ways of financing a new business, and will have
a thorough understanding of the manager’s task
of organizing innovation.
The Major in
International Finance is the
application of economics within financial and
non-financial institutions and markets. As such,
finance is about the optimal allocation of
scarce financial assets (i.e., money, loans,
bonds, stocks, and currencies). Problems in
finance deal with time, information,
uncertainty, diversification, hedging and asset
management, and focus on empirical predictions.
The mission of the International Finance Major
is to prepare students to understand the
economic and financial environment, and enable
them to evaluate alternative investment
opportunities, finance those opportunities and
manage optimal portfolios. |

From
September 26-28, in Evian, Mehdi Majidi
moderated an evening of reflection
entitled “Spirituality and Sustainable
Development.” To a full house, Professor
Majidi and the panelists, Tampalawela
Dhammaratana (Hon. Vice-President, World
Buddhist Union, WFB Liaison Officer,
UNESCO), René Gutman (Chief Rabbi, Bas-Rhin
Jewish Community), Khaled Bentounes (Cheikh
Spiritual Guide of the ‘Alawiyya Sufi
Brotherhood), Marc Stenger (Bishop of
Troyes), and Jacques Varet (Member of the
Church and Society Commission, French
Protestant Federation) discussed the
relationship of humanity to
sustainability. Focusing on ethics, the
panelists had a dialogue about how their
teachings relate to humanities'
relationship to nature and the purpose of
life, and how to teach global citizenship.
Overall, the conference focused on the
issues of sustainability, centering on the
challenges the world is currently facing
and the role of stakeholder, including the
private, public, governmental, and
academic sector and civil society. From
October 12-14, in Chantilly, Professor
Majidi moderated a session, “Shaping
Talent for Tomorrow’s Innovation,” with
panelists Sven Otto Littorin (Advisor with
Giban Associates) and Kyung Yoon (CEO at
TalentAge). The focus was on how best to
prepare the next generations with the
skills needed for the sustainable
development area where entrepreneurs,
small business owners and individuals are
internationally active in innovation,
technology, and socioeconomic and
environmental initiatives. The general
consensus of the discussion was a need to
move away from the knowledge-feeding
academic models and instead train
generalists who can specialize in a field.
A stronger focus on teaching how to learn
will better equip the up and coming
generation to make impactful change.
Recommendations from this conference were
submitted as a proposal to the B20
(Business Summit) which will be meeting in
Cannes at the beginning of November.
AUP's MA in Cross-cultural and Sustainable
Business Management graduate students
actively participated in both of these
conferences. |
