FDIB-Africa: South Africa, Zambia, and Botswana
The Faculty Development in International Business (FDIB) - Africa program, in its 6 consecutive year, is offered annually by a consortium of CIBER universities, led and managed by the University of South Carolina CIBER. The program focus on providing participating faculty, business professionals and graduate students a unique international study tour opportunity, which will ultimately assist the U.S. in its global competetiveness via pedagogy, research, business networking and outreach, and academic-business relationship building. The objective of the FDIB-Africa program is to raise faculty, business professionals and graduate student awareness of the economic, political and cultural environments that exist in sub-Saharan African today, and, ultimately, to leverage that first-hand awareness into competence and expertise in the classroom, boardrooms, and research campus and facilities throughout the U.S. |
