The convergence of information technology and communications, coupled with dynamic global markets and rapidly changing consumer expectation, presents tremendous challenges and opportunities for the leaders of this generation. In response to this need, the Institute for International Business has established the Center for Global Business Leadership to provide a highly collaborative research environment for faculty and students and to promote outreach programs in the international arena.
This Center takes advantage of the existing strengths, synergy created through collaborative efforts of all the units of RCB and leverage provided by external funding to design and implement projects that enhance developing/emerging economies and benefit RCB. The themes of the center are sustainable as proven by a decade-long stream of activities in the developing economies largely financed by federal grants.
