5. Justification
International commerce between nations is crucial for improving living conditions, 
creating jobs, and allowing customers to choose from a wider range of items. Since 
the first civilizations started trading, there has been international commerce, but in 
recent years it has grown in significance as a higher portion of GDP has been 
committed to exports and imports. Graduates with an awareness of the 
management and operational needs necessary to trade efficiently in foreign 
markets, as well as the ability to locate business opportunities to deliver a good or 
service, are in greater demand in the current economic climate.
