In short: The graduate student of international trade and business is a facilitator of the exchange of goods and/or services between nations. Exploring further, my degree consists of performing functions that strengthen the integration and competitiveness of companies in a global environment by eliminating trade barriers that allow increasing the number of products and services that benefit from international exchange.
As the global economy becomes increasingly interconnected and competitive, it is crucial to understand all aspects of commerce, leadership, and management in productive sectors within a global context, as well as to apply knowledge and practical experience in how international trade and global finance influence businesses, the public sector, and world markets. As well as, inventory control, storage operations optimization, distribution, transportation, international logistics and, in general, supply chain management as an integration of the key points for the success of international trade.
