International Business Strategies

Catalog description

This course focuses on the implementation of the traditional management functions (staffing, organizing, directing, and controlling) within an international or global organization. Emphasis will be placed on the impact of international environments (differing legal restrictions, political forces, economic situations, roles of labor, cultural philosophies, etc.) on management practices. A major underlying theme throughout the course will be the financial and efficiency costs of adjusting to local requirements versus global rationalization.
