Course content and structure | |||||||||||||||||||||
The purpose of the course is to
develop an understanding of business strategies in a global
context. The class will start from the notion of competitive
advantage (I/O View, Resource-Based View, Dynamic Capabilities) and
will discuss how firms select their strategies in a global context.
It will go on to explore how globalization strategies are
implemented in different industries. The second part of the course
will discuss the role of strategic communication among front line
managers (leadership and organizational culture), the rationale for
corporate sustainability and innovation strategies and, lastly, the
international differences in corporate governance and ethics.
The course puts students in into the position of managers having to select corporate and business-level strategies in a globalized context. They will learn to apply basic management theories to strategizing in global multinational companies (MNCs). |
