International business differs in important ways from business
conducted within national borders. It poses additional challenges for
managing trade or investments in foreign countries, but it also offers
new opportunities in foreign markets. This course provides a
framework for analyzing decisions made by firms in an international
context. In turn, this framework provides the basis for formulating
strategies that will enable businesses to succeed in the international
business environment.
This course combines material from strategy, international finance,
trade theory, trade policy, marketing, human resource management, and
other related areas. The course emphasizes the use of analytical
tools, and it provides an environment for developing oral and written
communication skills. By design, the course is integrative.
Consequently, there is some overlap with material taught in more
specialized courses on international marketing and international
finance.
