Engineering equipped me with good problem solving skills and project-based planning while International Trade Management would provide me a big picture perspective & better ability to perform management analysis in trade. Today looking at Globalization era, the world needs creative leadership and technological entrepreneurship. I believe engineers who want to become good managers - both inside or outside of productions/technical related fields - should go through International Trade Management.
My Engineering degree has given a strong foundation to my analytical skills since computer engineering involves a lot of complex and intricate calculations and the application of basic math skills. Instead of just understanding the detail of each member’s job to appreciate the role they play in a team, engineer-manager has the capacity to coach in on-the-job training of team members; can dissect the job into its minute details, or task elements, and make improvements and can plan, lead, organize, and control the tasks on hand. Most decisions made by engineer-managers are backed up with good engineering theory. International Trade Management would introduce me to the real-world examples of ethical and legal considerations in various cultural and business settings.
The topics involved will help me in my personal growth as well. I will be able to master skills such as analytical and strategic thinking to avoid crisis situation, problem solving and decision making, planning, organizing, self-management, time management, team management etc.
