Abstract:
Over the past few decades, the inclusion of an international perspective has gained importance in business schools’ curricula. The AACSB accreditation standards emphasize the importance of globalization. Most business schools now offer international study opportunities to their students. Typically, these usually include a number of semester-long programs and a few faculty-led, short-term programs. However, the offerings are often limited in variety, not specifically focused on business program needs and offered on a “one size fits all” basis. This paper suggests way to expand international offerings utilizing an analysis framework consisting of the 4 L’s - Length, Location, Language and Logistics.
