Abstract: Globalization is apparent, everywhere: in enterprises, universities, and eventually in people's lifes. Because of that, companies and employees, as well as future employees have to adapt, which demands and stimulates lifelong-learning. This article takes a closer look on the relationship between International Business graduates and multinational or globally acting companies by highlighting the characteristics of International Business graduates and the needs of globalized companies. The purpose of this article is to develop a new supply chain of knowledge between universities, students/graduates and companies and to emphasize the benefits for all parties in this supply chain to spotlight the importance of companies investing in International Business graduates.
