MGMT4505

Globalization and technological developments of the digital age have created exciting new opportunities for managers who seek growth and profits by accessing resources and serving markets worldwide. At the same time, managing across cultures and nations in a world where foreign companies are not always viewed in a positive light, and where political realities often obstruct business opportunities, poses multiple challenges. This course will address the global context and then focus on the strategic and cultural challenges involved in managing activities across borders, in an increasingly interconnected world. It will also draw on the students’ international experience (a semester abroad or a short term experience). Overall, as current challenges abound, they also provide an extremely rich context within which we can discuss the topics on our syllabus.
