请教关于I/B

beautifulmind

international business 在商学院里属于怎样一个专业呢？是偏宏观的吗？相对而言，是不是抽象和笼统些，不够实用，技术含量和专业性比其他如金融、营销、会计要低？比可是看课程还是挺micro的。这个专业对数量方面要求高吗？

谢谢。

Every major in PhD program at business school demands Math. OBHR might be an exception. In virtually every PhD management program, no matter for what major, Micro is an must-done. If you are not comfortable dealing with math, not simply calculus operation have to say, you would suffer. And, most of the students are required to take Game Theory. If it is instructed at a pure theoretical way, knowing how to prove like a mathmatician is requirement.

International business might be set under Economics, and Math is even more demanded in Econ.

Don't try to swing. There is absolutely no short cut to release yourself. If you are indeed interested at something, go for it, and only hard work can pay you off.

楼上错了，大部分学校的OBHR对数学和统计的要求也很高，尤其是统计。这点不比marketing那些专业对数学和统计的要求低多少。

但是也有几所开设OBHR的学校对数学要求不高，因为课程非常偏向OB。

haha

The word "maybe" refers to the tracks you mentioned.

I think OB and marketing require very little statistical skills, especially for behavioral track, compared with other disciplines in Business Faculty. Of course, it depends on the university. Try to choose a university fitted with the ability is important.

hehe, I am not afraid of hard work. but My prof. warned me that hard work may not be enough and many students are forced to quit.

And I cannot find specific I/B concentration in most b-school website. sometimes under econ, sometimes under strategy mgt. I should refer to individual faculty. is there any other way to do it sufficently? any suggestions?

thanks.
