featured activity
The BYU Business Language Case Competition provides business students with the opportunity to showcase their theoretical business knowledge and foreign language skills, while sharpening their presentation skills to real-life global business situations. Students will read, analyze, and present a business case all in a second language.
The competition also provides excellent networking opportunities for students to make contact with university leaders and corporate executives, who serve as judges and coaches. The fall 2010 competition will be for Chinese, Portuguese and Spanish speakers.
The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs)
were created under the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 to increase and promote the nation's capacity
for international understanding and economic enterprise. Administered by the
U.S. Department of Education
under
Title VI, Part B of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the CIBER program links the manpower and information needs of U.S.
business with the international education, language training, and research capacities of universities across the U.S.
Thirty-one universities were designated as
centers that serve as regional and national resources to business, students,
and academics. Together, the CIBERs form a powerful network focused on improving American competitiveness and providing
comprehensive service and programs that help U.S. business succeed in global markets.
CIBERweb provides information about the
legislation that formed this network, an outline of the goals of this initiative, the directory of the thirty-one CIBERs and the U.S. Department of Education administrator for this program, and all CIBER products. The products delivered by CIBERs vary in format from workshops to conferences to publications to online resources. Therefore, CIBERweb is designed with multiple points of entry addressing user's interest as main categories. A particular activity may be listed under two different categories depending on the interest area. Visitors may also link to the web sites of the individual Centers through the
directory to find more detailed listings of the lectures, workshops, events, publications, and funding opportunities that are offered.
