DM 880 / International Business

6 unit(s)

J. Tiessen

This course (1) analyzes the international business environment and (2) surveys managerial issues associated with international operations. Part one focuses on the institutions of globalization-the WTO, IMF, European Union etc.-and their implications for national economies. The second part examines how firms operate in this global environment. Specifically we will study how marketing, accounting, finance, operations, human resources and strategy are affected by geography and culture. Both sections will require research projects aimed at developing familiarity with international economic information and news sources-in print and on the internet.
