The University of South Carolina has maintained its designation as a Center for
International Business Education and Research (CIBER) since the program’s inception in 1989 and has
a long and successful history of funding and supporting international business research. As one of
31 universities designated as CIBERs, the University of South Carolina CIBER (SC CIBER) has
assisted the Moore School’s Sonoco International Business Department faculty in becoming the most
prolific international business research department in the U.S. for many consecutive years.
SC CIBER Working Paper Series
Since 1989, SC CIBER has supported the publication of more than 200 research papers, and will
again devote a substantial portion of its new four-year grant award toward additional research
initiatives, primarily in the areas of interaction between multi-national corporations and
institutional environments, micro-finance, interaction of global business and homeland security
issues, and African business and US-Africa business relations. Throughout this publication you will
read about several of the CIBER-funded projects conducted by Moore School faculty.
Undergraduate Study Abroad
SC CIBER supports several Moore School undergraduate study abroad course offerings including
Doing Business in Europe, Doing Business in Africa, and Doing Business in China.
