Discussed in the second half of the document are the following topics related to implementing the infusion approach: understanding the infusion approach; implementing the infusion approach; and infusing international business communication into various courses (accounting, basic business and economics, business communications, computer literacy, keyboarding, marketing, microcomputer/technology applications, office occupations, teacher education, telecommunications, and training and development).
