Global Business is everywhere among us. No matter if in multinational companies or in national businesses, in the public or private sector, in enterprises or in non-profit organizations, in industry or in the service sector - globalization concerns everyone. Such an environment needs people, who do not only have the basics of management, but also understand how to move in a diverse, multicultural world. In this context, the Bachelor of International Business Administration program provides an educational response to the transformation of many businesses in this dynamic region into global enterprises, and will prepare students to succeed in the global business environment. The irresistible forces of globalization also pose challenges especially for small open economies. How can a country like Oman, with a small population and striving to make the transition from oil dependence to a diversified economy, sustain high living standards?
