The Creative Component
International management professionals are increasingly called upon to communicate
in a myriad of formal and informal ways. The evolving complexity of the field,
the development of electronic information systems, technological innovations,
and the development of different management structures and styles, calls
for creative communications skills.
The Creative Component provides the candidate the opportunity
to develop and display communications skills through either a
formal research paper or an academic thesis. The candidate must
write an original, documented paper of 3,000 to 5,000 words in
length on a special aspect of international banking. Grading
will be on a pass-fail basis. The candidate must submit the title
and outline to be reviewed and approved by the Examiner. The
research paper may be written at any time while the candidate
is enrolled in the certification program. Unlike the written
examinations, a candidate may prepare and submit the paper at
his/her own convenience.
