| Abstract | New awareness of the need for foreign language proficiency and cultural understanding in international business means that closer links between language departments and business schools must be forged. The University of Wisconsin-Madison has established a foreign business internship program co-sponsored by the language department, business school, and a regional chamber of commerce in France. Its candidates are generally seniors who have spent a semester in France. Students are placed with small-to-medium-sized firms for five weeks, during which they conduct a research project on the host company. The program provides American students with experience in a French country, increased French proficiency, and an understanding of international business practices. It also opens the door for both awareness and cooperative projects on the part of French firms. Experience with the program to date has shown that the French companies have been extremely cooperative. They have also been unprepared to guide an American student, so a study guide was developed to direct interns' attention to certain aspects of the business. The internships have proven to be very valuable to students, and the research projects play a key role in the program's success. (MSE) |
