the Australia seminar and the Japan seminar will run December 12 through December 23, 2020.
The Europe and Southeast Asia seminars will run from January 1 to January 14, 2021.There is no
overseas portion to these programs, as the entirety of the program will occur online.
OBJECTIVES OF THE SEMINAR: The overall purpose of this seminar is
to provide participants with an opportunity to be exposed to the international
business environment and practices outside the United States. In addition,
participants will have a chance to develop insight into the cultural, social, and
political environments of their host countries without even leaving their home.
Participation in a virtual International Business Seminar is a unique way for
individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in international business, or
a related field, to acquire a firsthand view of international business practices and virtually
experience the excitement of travel.
SEMINAR COORDINATION: This seminar is offered in cooperation with International
Business Seminars in Scottsdale, Arizona. Seminar coordination and logistics are
provided by Professor Daniel Brenenstuhl, Director of International Business
Seminars. Students who wish to receive academic credit for their participation in
a seminar should enroll for the seminar through Northern Illinois University.
NIU SEMINAR COORDINATOR: Chih-Chen Lee, Professor of Accountancy
in the Northern Illinois University’s College of Business will be responsible for
advising students enrolled for this seminar through NIU, along with the oversight
International Business Seminar Virtual Winter Break 2020-2021 Page 2 of their course requirements. Faculty leading the seminar will be from a variety of U.S. colleges and universities. SEMINAR AUDIENCE: Although this seminar is an academic seminar, it has been designed with a variety of audiences in mind. Non-traditional students (i.e., professionals, individuals with an interest in this subject matter, etc.) as well as currently enrolled students are encouraged to participate in this seminar. All participants will receive academic credit, and non-traditional students will be enrolled as visiting students (at the undergraduate level) or students-at-large (at the graduate level). Space is limited and qualified applicants will be accepted on a first-come- first-serve basis. SEMINAR SESSIONS: The virtual sessions will average about two to three hours each day. The type of presentation will vary from company to company; however, almost all presentations will include input by management personnel. The sessions may include lectures, panel discussions, plant tours, or some combination of all these elements. Past experience has shown that students learn a great deal from the question/answer session which is a part of each visit; thus, students' questions are highly encouraged. In addition, there are group meetings and cultural experiences that will round out the virtual study abroad program. ACADEMIC CREDIT: For satisfactory participation in the seminar, participants will be enrolled for the spring 2021 semester and will receive two semester hours of undergraduate or graduate credit in one of the following NIU courses. The courses taken while participating on a seminar cannot be audited. UNDERGRADUATE CREDIT: INTL 301: Study Abroad Programs 2 semester hours Description: Course work undertaken as part of an approved university study abroad program. Discipline-based course used to reflect credit given, with departmental approval, for course work for which there is no NIU equivalent course available. May be repeated to a maximum of 9 semester hours. GRADUATE CREDIT: INTL 501: Study Abroad Programs 2 semester hours Description: A variable credit course structured around a theme within a discipline. Approval of topic and enrollment requires departmental approval when there is no NIU equivalent course available. May be repeated to a maximum of 12 semester hours.
International Business Seminar Virtual Winter Break 2020-2021 Page 3 COURSE REQUIREMENTS: Participants must attend an online orientation meeting facilitated by IBS. Participants must also engage in all scheduled seminar activities. Finally, participants must prepare a final seminar paper. Graduate level students will be required to complete papers 10-15 pages longer than those produced at the undergraduate level and should reflect a higher level of scholarly accomplishment and research. Graduate level work will be evaluated using a higher set of expectations and requirements. For the in-depth analysis, each participant will be assigned to a team of four to six students prior to the seminar. Each team will be assigned one of the organizations that will be visited virtually during the seminar. Prior to visiting the organization, the assigned team will give an oral presentation that will provide an introduction and overview of the organization to the other participants. During the visit, team members will be expected to contribute more to the question and answer session during the presentation. Each member of the team will be expected to research the assigned organization prior to the beginning of the seminar. Each team will be expected to meet on their own, after the seminar starts, to plan their introductory presentation to the other seminar participants, to develop questions that will be asked during the question and answer session, and to determine which team members will make concluding remarks. The third part of the seminar paper is a summary (five - six pages) of the in-depth analysis of the assigned firm. This part is not a team report, but it should cover the main points learned through each team member’s research of the organization and the presentation given by the organization. Professor Lee requires graduate students to undertake additional coursework. This might be to read a recent book about the cultural or economic aspect of the region or countries visited during the seminar and write an 8 - 10 page analysis of the book. The book analysis should be included as a part of the paper. The seminar faculty will discuss the requirements of the seminar paper during the orientation meeting on the first day of seminar. Seminar faculty will also discuss how teams should make the introductory presentation, the kinds of questions to ask during the seminar, and how to make concluding remarks. The seminar paper must be turned into Professor Lee and the IBS Seminar Faculty by March 15, 2021. Late submission of this paper can result in your grade being lowered. HONORS CREDIT: Qualified students may also elect to receive Honors credit for any course(s). Students who elect to receive Honors credit will be required to complete additional work. For more information, please contact the University Honors Office. APPLICATION AND ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: The seminar is open to undergraduate and graduate students who meet the NIU general admission requirements and who
International Business Seminar Virtual Winter Break 2020-2021 Page 4 are interested in global business. Currently enrolled students must meet NIU Graduate School and College of Business GPA requirements. Students who are on any type of probation are not eligible to participate. Applicants must participate in the entire seminar and satisfy NIU undergraduate or graduate admission and course requirements. NIU Students: Students cannot have any encumbrances against their NIU records. Any encumbrances placed on a student’s records by NIU (i.e., the Graduate School, Undergraduate Admissions, Bursar’s Office, Accounts Receivable, Registration and Records, Office of Student Conduct, Health Services, Parking Services, etc.) must be cleared before a student is granted admission to a study abroad program. For any student to be admitted into a virtual program, an applicant’s transcript must be on file with the NIU Study Abroad Office. Students who are currently enrolled at NIU, or who have previously enrolled at NIU, do not need to request an official transcript; SAO will make this request on behalf of the applicant. Non-NIU Students: Non-NIU Students who want to participate in the program and earn academic credit from NIU, who have not previously enrolled at NIU, will need to apply for the IBS seminar directly through IBS (http://www.ibstours.com/register) in addition to applying through NIU’s study abroad portal (niu.studioabroad.com). Students are responsible for paying the NIU fees and IBS seminar cost to NIU. If you have further questions about this, please contact IBS directly at https://ibstours.com/contact/ Non-NIU students should plan to send a copy of their transcript (official or unofficial) as soon as possible to the SAO. Students can send transcripts to the SAO via email to niuabroad@niu.edu. Students who desire to obtain academic credit must be admitted as a visiting undergraduate student through NIU Undergraduate Admission or, for graduate level credit, must be admitted to a graduate program within the NIU Graduate School, or be admitted to the status of a "student- at-large" (SAL) within NIU's Graduate School. Non-NIU graduate students applying as a Student-at-Large (SAL) through the Graduate School must upload a copy of their transcript or proof of degree during the SAL application process. This requirement is separate from the transcript required from SAO and will not meet the requirement for the study abroad application. Therefore, SAL applicants should plan on submitting two transcripts to NIU (one copy during the SAL application process and one copy to SAO for the study abroad application). Individuals do not, however, have to be currently enrolled in a college or university. Quite often the participants are practicing professionals or pursuing an advanced degree in a business-related area. Questions relating to the admission requirements should be directed to the NIU Study Abroad Office (SAO).
