Information intensive businesses operating in a global environment are looking for a special type of manager. This individual must comprehend simultaneously the complex international business environment and know how information technology (IT) can be used to best support the company's strategic direction. In information-intensive industries, IT is the lifeline to an organization's global operations, creating new opportunities for these skilled individuals. Robinson's new career path in International Business and Information Technology is just the answer. Building synergy from courses that overlap three areas (international business, organizational strategy--and its fit with IT, and IT itself), this career path prepares tomorrow's leaders in an increasingly information- dependent global marketplace.
