| Course content and
structure |
| This course integrates economics and
finance as perspectives on multinational enterprise strategy and
performance. Over the semester we will gradually build an economic
model of the multinational enterprise, addressing questions such
as: What is performance and how can managers measure, predict, and
influence it? How does the internationalization of the firm
influence its profitability and risk profile and how does this
ultimately affect firm value? How can firms explore and exploit
firm-specific and location-specific resources like technological
knowledge in order to create and appropriate value in global
markets? In short, how should firms internationalize in order to
maximize their performance? |
