Fall 2011 Semester
SIB 550 TC1
Travel: January 2012

Outsource yourself to India during Winter Break 2012!

One of the most effective ways to learn about the global economy that we operate in today is to gain experiential knowledge of a country such as India through a Global Travel Seminar. This seminar offers students the opportunity to combine classroom learning with direct business experience by visiting large multinational firms in New Delhi and the Taj Mahal in Agra.  

The primary objective of the seminar will be to develop working knowledge of conducting business in India, to include knowledge of the state and development of the economy; leading companies and industries; its role in the global economy; and social, cultural, and historical influences. We will also examine the economic, sociological, and legal issues that have contributed to the rise of India as a major player in the new global economy. This seminar is certain to be an exciting destination that you will not want to miss!
