Sterling said 48.5 percent of all

South Carolina in the lead in total

"Foreign companies know that

Fred Monk, The State's business g
editor, spoke about the importance s
of The Columbia World Affairs t
Council, which is *a non-profit t
organization that sponsors foreign v
speakers and promotes international
relations in South Carolina. t
"Columbia is already an interna- a

awareness of Columbians as to F
how international it is." *
McNair praised USC's MIBS ^
program and said that it was an ^
invaluable resource in international
business relations.
"MIBS graduates have provided
us with a wealth of knowledge,
and I hope we can build MIBS
more into our investment-winning
program," he said.
McNair said attracting BMW
