Doing Business in Asia

Catalog description

Doing Business in Asia provides a broad overview of culture and management practices in main East and Southeast Asian economies, as well as India and Arab Emirates as their business activities are diligently connected with those of greater Asia. The course will conduct a survey examination of the Asian business environment, along with that of each country’s history, culture and economy; and it will examine specific management practices in each country. In this course, students will evaluate how Asia’s geopolitical, economic, financial, and legal status is impacting its ability to compete in the global market. Conversely, students will examine the effect that global events are having on Asian production, resource consumption, imports, and exports. Strategic management implications will be thoroughly explored. Finally, this course will critically evaluate how Asian countries view social responsibility taking into account local customs, values, beliefs, ethics, and the laws.
