The Process of globalization has enabled India to emerge as economic super power wherein it is attracting investments
from giant global business players of multi-nations. At the same time, a sizable number of Indian MNCs are also gearing up
international business operations across the world. In this emerging and transforming scenario, Pondicherry University has
established the Department of International Business (DIB) under the School of Management to offer a specialized two-year
fulltime post-graduate degree in MBA-International Business for the students to have a thorough understanding of those
aspects of business which are trans-boundary in nature. The programme offers specialization streams in Marketing, Finance,
HR and Systems with greater international thrust in each of the functional areas. The uniqueness of the programme is that
each student during their study period will be carrying out four different projects (Summer Project, Winter Project, Internship
on Export-Import procedures and a final Semester Project) in leading organizations to gain practical exposure.
The DIB has designed the MBA-International Business Programme with a special focus on imparting training and molding
aspirants to acquire necessary core competencies, which are specifically required to manage global business operations.
Besides giving conventional management education inputs, a highly competent set of faculty has designed and developed a
course structure that will provide core competency skills in chosen areas of international business ranging from geo-political
issues, managing in emerging economics, international trade and logistics, global banking, financial services and insurance
management, IT and ITES management, international tourism, hospitality and customer relationship management, retail
management, export and import system, cross-cultural management, foreign language and environmental issues The
course curriculum is so organized that the students are groomed to take up the challenges of new millennium, which are
