If you walk into a presentation \u201cknowing very little\u201d and walk away \u201cunderstanding a lot,\u201d the event succeeded.<\/p>\n

That was the experience of Ana Perez<\/strong>, an attendee at \u201cBusiness in Italy,\u201d part of the \u201cAround the World Series\u201d presented by the International Business Honor Society<\/a> (IBHS), a student organization in the College of Business Administration at Florida International University (FIU).<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned quite a bit about business practices in Italy,\u201d Perez said concerning the recent event. \u201cAs in other countries, Italy\u2019s culture influences their business practices. For instance, Italians take very seriously the tradition of owning and running a family business.\u201d<\/p>\n

The series is the brainchild of IBHS president Belinda Sardinas<\/strong>. Victoria Palma<\/strong>, IBHS vice president, planned and presented the Italian event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese international events, held at our regular meetings, help students who intend to study, work or do business abroad,\u201d Palma said.<\/p>\n

At the Italian event, Claudio Pastor, executive director of Miami chapter of the Societa Dante Alighieri (SDA), an international organization promoting Italian culture and language also presented.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned that in Italy big companies, such as Armani, have had the same suppliers since the day they opened,\u201d said FIU junior Cesar Chuquizuta<\/strong>. \u201cI also learned that the market is not very open to new investors who want to start a business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Italy, decisions may be based on relationships more than facts and numbers,\u201d said Leo Battistini<\/strong>, an FIU student born and raised in Italy. \u201cPlus, although English is fairly known, speaking Italian is almost a must for practicing business in Italy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attendees also got a taste of Italy with bruschetta, olives, biscotti and other refreshments that Palma brought from an Italian market.<\/p>\n

Around the world—to Mexico, Peru and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n

IBHS is planning more \u201cAround the World\u201d events at their regular meetings, to help students learn more about international practices.<\/p>\n

The most recent meeting included \u201cBusiness in China.\u201d Presentations on Mexico, Peru, Arab nations and India are on future IBHS agendas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
