The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs) were created under the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 to increase and promote the nation's capacity for international understanding and economic enterprise. Administered by the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI, Part B of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the CIBER program links the manpower and information needs of U.S. business with the international education, language training, and research capacities of universities across the U.S. Together, the CIBERs form a powerful network focused on improving American competitiveness and providing comprehensive service and programs that help U.S. business succeed in global markets.
The mission of the Temple CIBER at the Fox School of Business is to promote greater involvement in international business activities by academic institutions, business firms, and small and medium size enterprises in the Eastern Pennsylvania, South Jersey and Delaware region. Temple CIBER promotes competitiveness of area businesses in the global marketplace through trade education, further developing the international content of the Fox School curriculum, supporting research in areas of international business like the annual IB Research Forum, offering language and culture exposure, as well as overseas work and study experiences for Fox School students.
The Center for International Business Education and Research at the George Washington University (GW-CIBER) is similarly funded by the U.S. Department of Education and serves as a vital portal for businesses, policy makers, citizens, students and faculty throughout the nation to increase their international skills and awareness of the internationalization of our economy. Through this portal, these stakeholders have ready access to the distinctive international business resources that GW, our partner organizations, and our D.C. location offer in promoting the future economic welfare of the U.S. Through unique and integrated programming under our umbrella theme of Institutions and Development, we leverage a broad range of distinct resources in providing cost-effective, high-impact solutions to key issues critical to the competitiveness of U.S. firms in the global marketplace.
The Journal of International Management (JIM) is housed in the Institute of Global Management Studies (IGMS). JIM is devoted to advancing an understanding of issues in the management of global enterprises, global management theory, and practice; while also providing theoretical and managerial implications useful for the further development of research. It is designed to serve an audience of academic researchers and educators, as well as business professionals, with an interest in risk management, organizational behavior and design, human resources, and cross-cultural management. IGMS oversees academic programming in international business at the Fox School, fosters relationships with alumni both here and abroad, and supports activities on campus that advance the mission of internationalization at Temple University.
