Strategies for Mitigating Risks in International Business

1 credits · Owen Graduate School of Management

Managing the Global Enterprise. Evidence of business globalization is all around us, the rise in foreign trade, the diversification of portfolio holdings, offshoring, the ubiquity of 'made in China' logos, the interconnectedness of national business cycles, and even the share of foreign-born talent in leadership positions among global corporations. This course focuses on what is different about managing across borders. Besides the usual issues of distance, language, time, entry mode, legal systems and bureaucratic red tape, the course focuses on specific cross-border risks and opportunities, including management of exchange rate risk, cross-cultural risk, and expropriation risk. This course may be applied to a concentration in strategy or general management; or to an international emphasis. Prerequisites: 6321 and 6331. [1]
