  The International Trade and Quality Center's mission in the School of Business is to develop international consulting and other relevant services for four-state organizations and individuals who are or wish to be involved in international trade, to assist area organizations in their quest for continuous improvement of products, processes and services to enhance quality while reducing cost, and to enhance the business curriculum by providing international and quality resources, internship opportunities and other appropriate assistance for faculty and students. These objectives are met via assessment activities, research, educational programs, consulting, and serving as a clearinghouse for materials such as books, literature, tapes, and equipment.

          The Southern Business and Economic Review is published quarterly by the Small Business Development Center within the School of Business Administration. Each issue contains local indicators and articles of interest to local business people. The Bureau also maintains a data bank of economic statistics, which is available to local business people.      
                 
          The Management Development Institute was established to help local businesses with their training and educational needs. The Center seeks to serve those needs by developing and/or coordinating various seminars for the local businesses.      
                 
          The Center for Entrepreneurship's primary purpose is to provide relevant and practical information concerning starting and running a small business. The center also seeks to encourage new business startups by providing student consultants and faculty evaluation of business plans.      
                 
          The Small Business Institute allows students to consult with small businesses that request assistance. This provides valuable experience for our senior students. They are able to apply some of the theory they have learned to "real life" situations. The Small Business Administration funds the program and there is no charge to the businesses.
