DESCRIPTION
The world?s economies are part of an integrated global system. Firms of all sizes consider the entire world when deciding where to produce and where to sell their goods and services. Global trends, such as a greater emphasis on environmental sustainability, and international macroeconomic shocks, such as ongoing regional conflicts, influence the decisions of business leaders all over the world. At the same time, national borders and differences remain an essential fact of the global economy. This course will study the changing world in which international business operates, with a particular emphasis on developing a global perspective through the study abroad experience. Its focus is on the macro environment of national differences of political economy and culture and of the global trade and investment system, but it will also consider managerial implications of issues for individual companies.
