| 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?
