important not only language is, but also business
customs, in working with our offices in these

importance in giving students these valuable
skills. Lewis Martin Business

When I look back 15 or 20 years ago it was rare
for a businessperson to do business
internationally. Today it is rare that one
doesnt. The world is a small pond it is
important that students have an understanding of
different cultures, and that they realize that
they are not just dealing with issues in
