,4) Why is it relevant for today's business students to study international business and to become
culturally literate?
Answer: There are several reasons to study international business. Most large organizations will
have international operations or be affected by the global economy. In addition, an understanding
of international business will allow students to better assess career opportunities, interact more
effectively with other managers, and keep pace with competitors. Furthermore, students may
eventually work for a company headquartered in another country. Finally, small businesses are
becoming more involved in international business. Being culturally literate means having an
understanding of different countries and cultures. Having some knowledge of how a country or
company fits into the global economy can help a business person earn respect, confidence, and a
competitive edge.
