Welcome!
To navigate successfully the complex international business environment of the 21st century, understanding business alone is critical but almost never sufficient. Global management entails not only understanding a company or industry, but also anticipating the shifting political, economic, legal and cultural environments in which companies operate. Success in international business today requires a sharp long-term vision of tomorrow's risks and opportunities in the world market place. This is The Fletcher School's unique advantage.
Fletcher’s interdisciplinary approach to international business is distinctive in its breadth. Fletcher students, faculty, and researchers look beyond core management practices to study the contextual factors that make business decisions ever more complex. Our depth of knowledge in international law, political economy, foreign policy, and regional specializations offers a competitive advantage and increased understanding.
From issues around privatization to a complex commodity swap to an emerging markets fund to resource nationalism, Fletcher’s broad analytical framework provides students, employers, companies and alumni with the tools they need to work in a complex business environment.
