Increasing relevance of an MBA in International Business

3 mins readUpdated on Apr 19, 2023 20:37 IST

An MBA helps to develop the business acumen of students. Studying international business provides students with a broader perspective on different cultures, economies, and business practices. This exposure helps in developing a global mindset and international business opens gates to a plethora of opportunities at the global level. It is relevant for every domain, be it marketing, finance, people management, Information technology, international business or new emerging fields such as business analytics, and retail management. A management student who wishes to explore overseas opportunities gains an edge by choosing international business as a specialization in MBA. At the same time, multinational companies are increasingly expanding their operations across borders and India is placed well to attract these companies.

India is the world's sixth-largest economy in terms of nominal GDP and the third-largest in terms of purchasing power parity. It has a young and rapidly growing population with a median age of just 28.4 years which makes it attractive for companies looking to tap into a large and growing consumer base. More than ever, in the current scenario, the prospect of global giants investing in India is far better. New India is also a perfect example in the current era of an integrated nation that is focusing on healthy relations with most parts of the world. Consequently, countries are showing interest to invest in major sectors that could infuse growth in the national GDP - be it retail industry, fast food industry, fashion industry, ecommerce, AI and AR, or any other.

In the past before India started its liberalization and globalization process, such subjects had limited scope. The times are changing now. India’s demographic profile is increasingly tilting towards young Indians who have high purchasing power parity. In order to meet the demand of skilled manpower , Companies are looking for MBA graduates who have the skills and knowledge to compete effectively in the global market and who are adept at managing both operations and people. People in foreign lands need to integrate culturally with India but it is not easy for them to do this without the help of local and educated managers. Students who have a strong understanding of international business are better equipped to succeed in such a globalized environment.
