Each graduate candidate in this class is aware that this has resulted from swift advances in communication and transportation. In addition political climates and ideologies around the world have changed dramatically over the last few decades ( the demise of the USSR , the broaching of the Berlin wall, the stellar advances in India and the opening up to the world of China ) There has been the reduction in trade barriers around the world which has opened doors to new international opportunities for American business.
However ,,,far-sighted American business leaders are all agreed that such changes whilst beneficial at first glance have also engendered significant overseas competition to US business interests. Today in America it is no longer business as usual . American business today is filled to the gunnels with outstandingly successful overseas competition .
