CIBER Activities

The Advisory Board of the Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) met in October and discussed expanding international internships, study- abroad opportunities for School of Business students and activities in CIBER’s federal funding proposal for the years 2006-2010, which will be submitted this fall.

CIBER will cosponsor a program on India this month. With its high-potential workforce and burgeoning middle class, India is seen as an increasingly dynamic competitor. CIBER, along with the Madison International Trade Association (MITA) and Center for World Affairs and the Global Economy (WAGE), will sponsor a program focused on doing business in India. Speakers will give an economic, political and social overview of India and will address how companies should assess potential benefits and costs, common market entry strategies and forms of organization, and practical corporate experiences and lessons. The program will be held Nov. 17, from 2 to 4:45 p.m. at the Madison Hilton Hotel. Registration and event information can be found at http://www.bus.wisc.edu/ciber/events/ciberevents.asp?eid=657.
