provides international business majors, such as high development of it and opportunities to

get into the business world (p.1). Other ones are the use of networks, like social media,

internet and the easiest ways to connect with other around the world. Also, countries getting

together and develop partnerships that can help businesses to grow and expand their sales

into a much larger concept. Although, these are good concepts to talk about, he states each

of them by chapters (p. vii) in where he describes and gives full details of them. How people

can develop such a skills to negotiate with big businesses? Well by that institutions provide

sources and help for the people who wants to study this major (p. 51). By learning

The varieties that each institution have for international business should be aware of

the same point. Every institution tries to give the best understanding of the major, but not

all of them have the same perspective for it. According to U.S Department of Education

(2008) for what universities should focus more is the ideal to focus on faculty development

and international courses in function areas (p. 35) For example international methods

should play a big role in business majors as part to understand it, U.S Department of

Education (2008) used three main methods for it, such as knowledge of internationally

information, empathy to see a problem from the perspective of another culture, and task

performance that help to do tasks successfully in the international environment (p. 39).

Every institution should be open-minded and understand the real concepts and problems

that international major struggle with, so in the future students can be prepared to face real

problems.

Having to know the differences between an accredit and not accredit institutions can

really provide the knowledge of how good quality of education they can provide. According

to Raja (2019) gives an example of how institutions like Pakistan business school had a much

high ratings once it was accredited by the NBEAC (p. 136). Accredited institutions can highly

be range by the type of students graduate and what they achieve after it. The university of

Pakistan was fully recognize after it got acknowledge. However, this demonstrates the value

of education through institutions that want the best for their students. Many institutions are

provided with this accredit acknowledgement and giving the opportunity to many students

in the field of businesses, such as management or financial, providing with high expectations

for the students and also for the instructors (p. 138). High quality institutions are expected

to be in a better education field because of the accredit labels.
