Course content and structure

Your generation faces challenges and enjoys opportunities on a global scale like no other generation before.  For more than five decades, there has been a steady march toward an increasingly interconnected global marketplace.  Within your own short lifetimes, the BRICIS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), as well as other emerging economies like Turkey, have come to prominence.
Nonetheless, while we have seen enormous growth in emerging markets, we have also witnessed an increasingly negative reaction to globalism, particularly in Europe and the US, in recent years.  Globalism is being challenged by nationalism in many parts of the world.  
Many of the world’s major companies have evolved over time, from domestic, to international, to multi-domestic, to global firms.  Other, newer companies have been born global. Global firms seek to maximize their profits along an increasingly globalized value chain.
