Q&A
What is the importance of studying international business?
By studying international business you will understand the ebbs and flows of investment both within and between countries and continents ( or economic blocs). Then you will see that business goes where it will make the most profit, regardless of national affiliation or consideration of how it affects people's lives. International business is also looking for areas of production where there is a good infrastructure and access to the rest of the world. Profit will always return to the home country of that business.
