Global Business
Global business is the discipline concerning theories and managerial skills for solving problems and making decisions on an international scope, which the managers are expected to encounter as their business expands to the global market. The globalization of the world economy offers a good opportunity for growth to a company that is willing to take on the challenge, or poses a grave danger to a company that shies away from the said opportunity.

The purpose of the International Business track is to equip the students with the knowledge of the important relevant theories and with the necessary practical skills in the field of international business to develop professionals who will lead the field of international business in the future. To understand the international business activities of a company, one must understand the various global environmental factors and learn the theories that explain their influence on the performance of international business activities. To help the students achieve these goals, the International Business track provides various courses, such as International Business Strategy, International Marketing, International Comparative Business, International Business Case Study, International Market Research, Foreign Exchange Management, Special Lectures on International Business, and International Business Environment.

Today’s companies depend on information technology to strengthen their existing competitive edge or to find a new business. These companies require talents who can formulate informationization strategies and manage and develop information systems. For this reason, the Business Information track provides a variety of courses in its curriculum, with a view to nurturing business talents who will be in charge of investment, operation, and strategy for information technologies in various fields in the future, such as in private companies, governments, educational institutions, hospitals, and the military.

Marketing
Marketing refers to a series of processes and functions carried out by an organization to create, promote, and deliver values to its customers and to manage its relationship with its customers in a way that is profitable both to the organization and the interested parties. Marketing throws its weight into every corner of enterprises and of our society in general. The companies, which are the suppliers of goods and services, make decisions on what products should be sold to whom at what price and through what channels, as well as how to make sure that the customers know about their services or goods. In the meantime, the customers make decisions on what goods or services they will purchase and at what price to fulfill their needs and desires. Marketing activities connect the suppliers of goods and services to the consumers. In most cases, these activities are carried out by a private company, but the scope of application of marketing is wider that this as it can also be relevant to schools, hospitals, churches, or other non-profit organizations. Our Marketing track covers the theoretical framework and the relevant fundamental concepts. With these, the track provides a variety of courses, such as Marketing Management, Consumer Behavior, Marketing Research, Logistics Management, Retail Management, Advertisement Management, Service Marketing, Internet Marketing, Marketing Strategies, and International Marketing.
Operations Management
The Operations Management track covers the operations of manufacturing companies, service companies, and public agencies that are related to value creation. Operation management is a practical science discipline that covers quantitative analysis methods for decision-making, which can provide significant benefits to the society. Especially, with the business environment changing rapidly and the internal mechanics of companies becoming increasingly complicated, the importance of operation management has become paramount. The Operation Management track provides seven courses: Operation Management, Management Science, Quality Management, Service System Management, Supply Chain Management, Technical Management, and Operation Management Seminar. These courses will help the students answer the call of the era. The Operation Management track helped the alumni find career opportunities in many fields, enterprises and small businesses alike, including manufacturers, service companies, and public agencies. Many alumni are pursuing a career in strategic planning, production/process management, and quality management as consultants, professors, start-up entrepreneurs, technical experts, and distribution experts. As strengthening the competitive edge of companies is desperately needed today, the role of operation management is becoming increasingly important. Further, more career opportunities for those who majored in this field are available than at any time before.
Personal & Organization Management
Some companies are exposed to the same managerial environment that others are exposed to but perform better than the others. The Management and Organizations track seeks the factors that determine how competitive a company is in terms of the efficiency of its organizational design, its management of its human resources, and the differentiation of its competition strategies. The human resources are the intangible assets that move a company, and the most important resources within the company organization. The level of competence of an organization is determined by the level of competence of its members. A successful manager identifies the core talents that the company needs, motivates them, and strives to improve their capabilities. The strategies employed by a company are the tools that will strengthen the company’s competitive edge. The strategy of a company can be executed efficiently only when it is designed effectively considering the design of the organization and the organization’s processes, human resources, and reward system. In this track, the students will learn about human resource management (strategic H/R, recruitment, talent development, assessment, reward, and labor relations) so that they could later design a company organization and improve its competitive edge, and so that the company’s management strategies can be carried out efficiently from a strategic viewpoint, while also learning about the traits that a manager needs to have. To help them adapt to their job, various teaching methods, such as case studies, lectures, videos, discussions, and simulations, will be used. The courses in this track include H/R Management, Organizational Behavior, Labor Relationship, Organization Management, Comparative Management, and Special Lectures on HR and Organization.
Finance
Finance is a subdiscipline of management and is referred to as “corporate finance.” It covers the flow of funds and the related activities. Finance is divided into corporate finance and financial engineering. Recently, the field of behavioral finance was added. In financial management, the effects of the general actions of companies with regard to the time value of currency, the issuance of stocks and bonds, the estimation of the future capital of a company, the price determination of various financial instruments, and the financial changes resulting from the overall business activities of companies are studied. Therefore, this discipline covers the acquisition and investment of funds, the plans related to such activities, and control. For this purpose, this track provides the following courses: Investment, Stock Market, International Financial Management, Analysis of Financial Data, Management of Financial Institutions, and Derivative Markets.
