Message from the Program Director
Businesses today face an increasingly complex and dynamic environment, shaped by the restructuring of global supply chains, digital transformation, sustainability, and changes in international trade. In this context, international business has evolved beyond understanding overseas markets into a discipline that analyzes global business phenomena and identifies future opportunities through the economic, social, and cultural characteristics of countries around the world.
By combining HUFS’s strengths in foreign languages and area studies with business education, our International Business program seeks to develop researchers and professionals with a deep understanding of global markets and an international perspective. Students study international business strategy, global innovation, overseas market entry, international competitiveness, sustainability, and other topics, gaining insight into complex global business phenomena.
Our goal goes beyond preparing people who understand the world. We aim to nurture researchers and professionals who can interpret changes in global markets, discover new value, and contribute to the advancement of global business.
