Abstract:
As US businesses continue to grow their international presence, they need professionals who understand
the practices in other parts of the world. This is most applicable for Information Technology and
Information Systems related professionals who frequently communicate with vendors and clients outside
the US. Research establishes that US educational programs in information systems and technology would
be strengthened by enhancing student and faculty knowledge of technology deployment models and
business practices as well as the culture and customs in other parts of the world. This Delphi study
surveyed faculty and students to investigate more effective mechanisms to accomplish this goal.
