That seems to be the consensus concerning the Spring 2011 issue of the Online Journal of International Case Analysis<\/em> (OJICA<\/em>), published by the College of Business Administration at Florida International University (FIU). The journal, offered at no charge, is co-sponsored by FIU\u2019s Center for International Business Education and Research (FIU-CIBER).<\/p>\n \u201cWe publish cases concerning business situations in global locations,\u201d said Nancy Borkowski, a clinical associate professor who serves as editor. \u201cPublished cases describe how companies adapt in rapidly changing societies, in places with a high level of conflict or in other unusual situations here and abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n OJICA<\/em>\u2019s first issue of 2011 included two strategy case studies. The first discusses a small manufacturing company\u2019s vision and strategy doing business in Trinidad and Tobago. Co-authored by Walfried Lassar, chair, Department of Marketing, with Yi-Ju Vivian Chen, lecturer and Shazad Mustapha Mohammed (PhD \u201906, BBA ’99), the case provides opportunities for discussing value chain analysis, business life cycle and mergers and acquisitions.<\/p>\n The second explores courses of action being considered by a CEO of a 15-year-old small manufacturing and export company to ensure continued growth.<\/p>\n \u201cThis Internet-based publication serves as an excellent academic resource,\u201d Lassar said. \u201cThe free dissemination of research based on international cases offers true value for international business instructors and students.\u201d<\/p>\n
