12 going global. In today s context of globally integrated and interdependent businesses, ubiquitous information technologies, and a mobile workforce, it is critical that graduate education provides students opportunities to develop global business and information technology skills. There is a growing demand for a supply of talented, well-prepared graduates that have a deeper understanding of the global context in which organizations operate.
