Strategic Management of Global Risk

(1.5 Credits)

There are tremendous opportunities in global markets, and managers often globalize as a means of tapping into growth so as to achieve profitability targets. Unfortunately, accumulating evidence suggests that globalizing is fraught with risk. In the last 20 years alone, high-profile companies like Uber, IKEA, AES, Tesco, and Walmart (among others) have been hobbled by globalization. This course offers a lens through which to view globalization in a new and compelling way, helping students understand the risks associated with globalization while equipping them with the necessary tools to overcome those risks.
