DESCRIPTION
Our goal is to raise critical questions about the opportunities and challenges that companies and entrepreneurs encounter when doing business with countries from the Southern Cone such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. We begin by introducing the general context in which international business takes place in the region. Once we have looked at the big picture, we focus on the controllable and uncontrollable forces in the Southern Cone business environment. Our approach is based on a guided, well-informed discussion that will help students build understanding on the advantages and disadvantages of doing business in the region. Throughout the course students are expected to develop basic interdisciplinary skills for business decision-making. By the end of the course, students gain valuable insight on the opportunities that Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay offer and are ready to conduct research and access first hand information about Southern markets.
The University of Belgrano utilizes a 45-minute contact hour whereas the United States higher education system utilizes a 50-minute contact hour. All University of Belgrano courses represent the 45 contact hour amount and an estimated US credit calculation based on the contact hours. Each University of Belgrano transcript will include the number of hours per week and the weeks in the semester, so US universities may calculate the appropriate number of US credits for students.
