Mission : To provide education and training focused on a mix of business, cultural and language skills that students and managers must develop in order to be successful in a diverse global economy. Providing these skills serves to enhance existing academic programs at the University of Baltimore. CGBS also provides non-academic educational programs to both US and non-US business people. To accomplish its mission the CGBS draws from the three schools of UB, as well as from other USM schools. By achieving its mission, the CGBS contributes to the development of a vibrant business environment in Baltimore and the State of Maryland.
Global need The growing economies in many countries around the world are creating an increasing number of needs and opportunities for which global managers must be prepared.
Our Response :By enhancing the knowledge base of our students, businesses in Baltimore will be able to create value in the global marketplace. Jobs will be created in Baltimore, and students and managers will be attracted to learn new skills at CGBS. The result will be a vibrant nexus of learning and business opportunity in the greater Baltimore area.
Driving Force: The merging of energies of the three schools of UB, other local universities, local businesses, plus state and private agencies that focus on international business development. This convergence of energies will allow CGBS to address business and cultural needs in ways that will greatly benefit business development in the Baltimore area and Mid-Atlantic Region, and ultimately in other cities throughout the world.
Programs: Enhancement to existing educational programs through intern and practicum. Provide non-academic programs focused on business venture collaboration. The purpose will be to assist US and non-US business people and students in learning to work together in global business settings focusing on real business problems and opportunities.
Emerging Markets:Asia and Latin America, for example, provide tremendous opportunities for those who can see the opportunities, understand the challenges, and take appropriate action. CGBS will prepare people for this new and exciting world of global challenge and collaboration that will enhance business success and the quality of living in both the United States and many other countries.
