A perfect blend of education and opportunities can lead you to a stable and flourishing career. Calling the world we live in a “Global Village” is almost an obsolete term now, since the buzz word today is GLOCALIZATION. Coined by sociologist Roland Robertson in 1980, where it was first used in the Harvard Business Review. According to him glocalization is "the simultaneity – the co-presence — of both universalizing and particularizing tendencies." It is important to understand that the global and domestic markets are wired together within the global value chain.  

 An MBA in International Business (their flagship program) offered by Indian Institute of Foreign Trade enables you to simultaneously study about the global and local aspects of international business and international trade and being glocally valuable.
