What are the future prospects for MBA ( International Business )?

what if there are no campus placements for that institute. will the students

get the job if the institute is not offering campus placements.

This course is introduced for first time by the institute, so can we expect

the placements or job after completing the course.

Thanks & Rgds,
Pavan.

plzz suggest me sum good clgs.

layman language for all... International Business has a tremendous opportunities...
The beverages you drink might be produced in India, but with the collaboration of a USA company. The tea you drink is prepared from the tea powder produced in Sri Lanka. The spares and harddisk of the computer you operate might have been produced in the United States of America. The perfume you apply might have been produced in France. The television you watch might have been produced with the Japanese technology. The shoe you wear might have been produced in Taiwan, but remarketed by an Italian company. Air France and so on so forth might have provided your airtravel services to you.
Most of us have the experience of browsing Internet and visiting different web sites, knowing the products and services offered by various companies across the globe. Some of us might have the experience of 'even ordering and buying the products through Internet. This process gives us the opportunity of transacting in the international business arena without visiting or knowing the various countries and companies across the globe.
Thus, international business is the process of focusing on the resources of the globe and objectives of the organizations on global business opportunities and threats.
The multinational companies which were producing the products in their home countries and marketing them in various foreign countries before 1980s, started locating their plants and other manufacturing facilities in foreign/host countries. Later, they started producing in one foreign country and marketing in other foreign countries. For example, Uni Lever established its subsidiary company in India, i.e., Hindustan Lever Limited (HUL). HuL produces its products in India and markets them in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal etc. Thus, the scope of the international trade is expanded into international marketing and international marketing is expanded into international business.
Scope of International business in Indian context is good as more and more companies grow global ,they are seeking people to work in the international business domain..

Well, if u r looking for MBA - IB as a course... choosing a college is important however should not be the biggest concern. The knowledge you gain thru IB courses is vast enough to satisfy your inner self.. getting jobs/money is secondary. once you master it, i have seen companies fighting for talent at any cost.

Being an SIIB student, this course is not only limited to foreign trade policies of export and import but clubbed with Marketing/finance/SCM/HR with domestic and international knowledge.

hope this helps...

For the past two years i have been working in our own Merchant Export firm.
Now, i want to do a course on IB, but i am confused whether to do it from india or abroad.
According to me following are the pro`s of doing it in india :
a. you will get to learn indian trade policies
b. also, other major policies and taxation in the course will be based on indian system

pro`s of doing the course abroad:
a. networking - which is very important for doing international business
b. learning new business tactics from students of various countries
c. getting a new dimension of international trade

After my course, i might work for 6-12months in a company.
Otherwise i would come back and grow my family business.

Kindly advise whether i should go for the IB course abroad or in india.
Also, please suggest universities in india and abroad for IB

Await your repy.

Thanks & Regards,
Anant Karnani

As far as pros and cons are concerned... b schools in india are well equipped to train on any perspective. All trade policies are taught.. which differ slightly.

Hello Everybody,
This is my first post in the forum. I am Suddhashil Ghosh, completed my B-Tech from Dr.B.C.Roy Engg College, Durgapur in Computer Science & Engineering. Then I have started career in Web Developement & in the same domain since last 2.7 Yrs. My specialization is in PHP, MySQL & Joomla.

I have started also pursuing MBA from NIBM, Chennai in the year 2008. Presently I in final semester & the fianl exam will be held on this May'2010. In NIBM one has to chose two specialization in 2nd & 4th semester. I have chosen Operations Management in the 2nd & International Trade Management in the final semester.

Now, I have come to know NIBM will not provide any campusing facility. So, my question is:
1. Is there any job available for me based on this MBA degree as I am pursing it in correspondence?
2. If yes, which company should I look for?
3. When I ll be passed out my corporate experience will be around 3 years, so, will that be counted as "Experience" if I am going to be selected on my MBA degree basis?
4. Do the degree help me to be domain oriented? Means I am basically an IT career oriented guy, so will this degree help me to achieve the TL or Delivery Manager post in MNCs?
5. What kind of package is given to this kind of selection?

Hope you will be kind enough to spend a little part of your valuable time to read this thread & revert me back. Seeking all your help. Thanks in advance.
