Business Strategy in the Global Economy

Catalog description

This course addresses the role of international political and economic issues and the challenges facing trade and foreign business policies in developing nations that seek to attract business investments. Students evaluate the potential business opportunities and the risks associated with global expansion projects, as well as the role of labor and access to natural resources, and the utilization of International Monetary Fund (IMF) resources and foreign investment. Analyses of cultural, economic, societal, and political differences framed within the context of international commerce provide a background for strategic decisions. Students cannot earn credit for both the MIM and IBS courses, as they cover similar concepts. MIM courses are placed on teach-out. Taking both courses would result in duplicate credit, which is not allowed.
