ASU has as part of its charter and mission to be a global center for interdisciplinary research, discovery and development. In order to achieve this standing, ASU must deal with the complexities of doing business internationally, which can present challenges as it relates to contracting, operations, appropriate planning for expenses, etc. Also, there may be language and cultural barriers to overcome in order to negotiate and execute agreements.
