Study Abroad - China Program

"Travel thousands of miles is better than read thousand of books."  Today's business students are the business leaders of our future.   Cross-cultural competence is a comparable must for business students to develop in addition to their intelligence quotient (IQ) which shows work efficiency and emotional quotient which shows team skill in a given cultural context.   Under the college leadership, I have developed China study program through which students travel to China to learn first hand of how businesses and manufacturing activities are conducted, and cross-cultural competence can be developed through visits, lectures, and/or volunteer activities.

The theme for 2008 China study program is on Beijing Olympics and other business activities.   Please http://www.cbt.nsuok.edu/chinatrip  for details.
