This important new collection of essays is a valuable resource for business faculty and administrators engaged in the internationalization of business education. It features a carefully chosen selection of papers written by leading educators; doctoral program directors, deans, and graduate faculty members.  
 
Internationalizing Doctoral Education in Business evolved from Michigan State University's second Roundtable on Internationalizing Business Education held 11-13 September 1994. The conference brought together 26 business faculty and administrators from North America, Europe, and Asia to present views on the rationale for, and objectives of, internationalization, models for "internationalizing" doctoral students, approaches to enhancing faculty competence and involvement, institutional and administrative arrangements, and alternative visions for Ph.D. programs.  
 
In the 1990s, businesses continue to face the challenge of staying competitive in a global market. Business schools also need to internationalize their programs to stay competitive. Unitl now, information about alternative strategies has not been widely available. This timely work provides business educators, public policymakers, scholars of educational practices, and business executives with tools to compete globally.
