Objective
The International Business Practice in China was designed to complement graduate business students by helping them gain a global perspective on the world’s fastest growing economy. Students travel to Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Beijing to tour retailing, manufacturing facilities, and meet with major consumer product companies to learn strategies for success in China. Students will also tour the famous Drucker Academy in Beijing, China (http://www.pfda.com.cn/english/about_team.html) where JBU has a joint partnership relationship. In addition, students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich culture of China and understand the government’s impact on society. This trip also helps students understand how the local Chinese people live, shop, eat, and worship. Importantly, students will engage in understanding the future impact of over 100 million Christians currently living in China. The practicum consists of pre- and post- trip classes and course work as well as a travel experience
