Enhancing International Business Education Through Faculty Development in International Business Programs
Abstract
International business scholars emphasize the importance of gaining firsthand international experience to create effective learning opportunities. Such experience deepens instructors’ understanding of the cultural and institutional forces that shape international business, whereas a lack of firsthand experience can undermine instructor credibility. This article presents an overview of Faculty Development in International Business (FDIB) programs, initiated by the Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs) to provide educators with direct exposure to international business. We highlight how these initiatives foster faculty development and offer recommendations for organizers to design effective faculty development programs.
