A fundamental shift is occurring in today's business environment as international borders become less of a barrier to trade and investment. Successful businesses recognize the importance of a global mindset and a strong understanding of the global forces affecting them. In this course, students will examine the forces and institutions that are shaping international trade and investment flows, explore the many options for "going global," and evaluate the complex challenges that organizations face when moving into new and diverse cultural, political, business, and economic environments. Topics include: an overview of multinational institutions; alternative methods for entering global markets; the effects of regional integration on multinational businesses; risks faced by multinational organizations; supply chain and Research and Development (R&D) considerations; sustainability in a global environment; and financial management and ethics.
