Politics & Markets: Innovation and the Global Business Environment

4.0 credits

Innovation remains a central driver of economic growth, but it now unfolds in a world shaped by artificial intelligence, rapid technological change, and heightened political and regulatory scrutiny of business. At the same time, firms operate in a global economy marked by shifting trade relationships, geopolitical tension, and uneven regulatory regimes. In this course, we will study how government institutions shape innovation and how firms develop strategy in an increasingly complex global business environment. Class sessions will be interactive and feature in-depth discussions of real-world topics and cases. We will also welcome several guest speakers during the semester.
