International Business at the Poznań University of Economics and Business (PUEB) is a two-year Master's (second-cycle) programme taught in English – the Master in International Business (MIB), offered in full-time and part-time mode. It is for those who aim at analytical and managerial roles in international enterprises or want to develop their own business.

Programme: globalisation, strategy and practical learning

The programme first discusses the drivers of globalisation and internationalisation, and then how the global business environment influences companies' competitiveness and strategy. You focus on making decisions in diverse conditions of international business and on strategic problems related to cultural diversity and political risk, using qualitative and quantitative data. Courses include international corporate finance, international entrepreneurship, corporate crisis management, international management consulting, international HRM and international investment.

Classes are workshop-based and practical – with team-working and team competition, learning-by-doing and problem-based learning – and labs and lectures are combined into blocks, one block a day.

After graduation: international companies, administration, diplomacy

The programme can lead to positions such as:

support units for boards of directors in import-export companies,
analytical and managerial positions in international corporations and in national and international administration,
diplomatic posts,

⇑Definitions and quotes

Business

Business is the activity of making one's living or making money by producing or buying and selling goods or services. Simply put, it is "any activity or enterprise entered into for profit. It does not mean it is a company, a corporation, partnership, or have any such formal organization, but it can range from a street peddler to General Motors." The term is also often used colloquially (but not by lawyers or public officials) to refer to a company, but this article will not deal with that sense of the word.

Wikipedia

International

International mostly means something (a company, language, or organization) involving more than a single country. The term international as a word means involvement of, interaction between or encompassing more than one nation, or generally beyond national boundaries. For example, international law, which is applied by more than one country and usually everywhere on Earth, and international language which is a language spoken by residents of more than one country.

Business

[A Jew] should make Torah his principal occupation and his work his casual one. He should minimize his business pursuits and occupy himself with Torah. And he should remove fleeting pleasures from his heart, and work each day enough to maintain himself. ... The rest of the day and night, he should occupy himself with Torah.

Rema, Shulchan Arukh, Yoreh De'a, 246:21, in "Separation from the Worldly (Perishut)"

Business

Everybody knows by now, all businessmen are completely full of shit; just the worst kind of low-life, criminal, cocksuckers you could ever wanna' run into – a fuckin' piece of shit businessman. And the proof of it, the proof of it is, they don't even trust each other. They don't trust one another. When a business man sits down to negotiate a deal, the first thing he does is to automatically assume that the other guy is a complete lying prick who's trying to fuck him outta his money. So he's gotta do everything he can to fuck the other guy a little bit faster and a little bit harder. And he's gotta do it with a big smile on his face. You know that big, bullshit businessman smile? And if you're a customer – Whoah! – that's when you get the really big smile. Customer always gets that really big smile, as the businessman carefully positions himself directly behind the customer, and unzips his pants, and proceeds to service...the...account. 'I am servicing this account. This customer needs service.' Now you know what they mean. Now you know what they mean when they say, 'We specialize in customer service.' Whoever coined the phrase 'let the buyer beware' was probably bleeding from the asshole. That's business.
