Description

It is well known that the world is becoming increasingly globalized. Globalization implies the continual movement of people, money, products, technology, and information across national boundaries over time. This movement can have a huge impact on communication, jobs, business, politics, and technology. Not surprisingly, globalization has generated both challenges and opportunities for the chemistry enterprise. This book focuses on the transnational opportunties for the global chemistry enterprise. The book is divided into two sections: 1) Transnational Study, Research and Careers, and 2) International Entrepreneurship. Because the emphasis of this book is on internationalization and globalization, anyone interested in the global aspects of the chemistry enterprise will find the book useful. The topics include future chemistry curriculum, global preparedness of students, international education exchange and research opportunities, study-abroad programs, and international research collaborations.
