The CIBS was established in 1992 in order to foster excellence in research and consultancy in the field of International Business. It is based within South Bank University Business School, which has a highly international character in terms of the profile and philosophy of its courses, the recruitment of students and the background of staff.
CIBS work builds on an already established research base.
The research is multidisciplinary and involves work in Economics, Business Strategy, Marketing, Human Resource Management and Organisational Behaviour, all considered in their international context. Comparative Studies of both countries and areas are also the subject of much research. The work of the CIBS underpins South Bank post-graduate courses particularly the Masters in International Business, International Marketing, Human Resource Management as well as, our European MBA and our research degrees programme.
