Why study in China?
I cant even wait to study in China because I want to discover why 75% of the goods I buy are labeled “Made in China.� Through understanding the meaning behind the label I will learn the true meaning of globalization. China is the leader for imported goods to the US and I want to explore the country where the goods originate from. I spent the last two years working at Talbots (women’s retail store). All of the merchandise we received within the store was purchased internationally. This sparked by interest in international business because I realized that all successful American corporations need to be thinking globally. I graduate next spring andI am sure my the corporattion I will be working will be involved in interantional operations.Also I want to learn how to do business with the Chinsese by understanding thier cultural values values and communcation patterns. I can't fully understand chinese business without getting to know the chinese people. So I am very excited to go sightseeing and travel around China. There are so many cool places to visit in the great cities we are visiting. It is going to be great opportunity to get a deeper understaning of a culture completely different from my own.
