Welcome to the new
age of education. Just like an episode from the Twilight Zone, I imagine Ron
Sterling would say, “In a time not long ago, pedagogy was books, paper and
pencils.”
Times have changed and necessitate changes in
international business education to meet the demands of the international
business sector. As international business evolves and more countries sign
international contracts and trade agreements, in addition to multi-national
corporations’ expansion into new territories and the continuous, rapid exchange
of information through artificial intelligence, social media and other outlets,
international business education must also evolve. Revisions to program curriculums
and pedagogies must include computer information system courses combined with
international business courses, focusing on analyzing data on a macro scale.
Didem Gürdür Broo et al. 2021 presented the options of “developing as an
advanced nation or get stuck with a stagnant economy” when referring to the
challenges faced by South Korea involving the emergence of new technology. Post
secondary institutions offering an international business education must
consider these same options, develop an advanced educational program or become
stagnated in an outdated, pre-artificial intelligence curriculum, resulting in
graduates not being prepared for the digital workforce.
The evolution of technology requires post-secondary
institutions, current students, recent graduates and professors to become adept
in the rapid progression of technology
